Salama!
Here in Portland the Carpe Diem headquarters are bursting with energy as everyone prepares for their upcoming trips. We couldn’t be more excited to be heading to East Africa with all of you! Hopefully you’ve had a chance to go over the itinerary and share it with your families; if not, pull out a map, check out the route, and get ready for adventure with new friends!
Throughout our journey together, this blog will be a chance for you to share your experiences with family and friends so be sure to pass out the link. Keep checking your email in-boxes for final travel logistics, and enjoy the last few days of family, friends, and hot showers. Next stop: Africa!
~Niko and Avy
“Africa is mystic; it is wild; it is a sweltering inferno; it is a photographer’s paradise, a hunter’s Valhalla, an escapist’s Utopia. It is what you will, and it withstands all interpretations. It is a last vestige of a dead world or the cradle of a shiny new one. To a lot of people, as to myself, it is just ‘home.’ It is all these things but one thing—it is never dull.”
–Beryl Markham, West with the Night
