I have worked as a freelance writer and consultant since my undergraduate days,when I also worked as a peer counselor.I have even worked for the UN as a volunteer!
I have taken part in a number of exchanges in Spain,Denmark,Japan,Singapore,Sri Lanka,Canada and USA.
Now,I run an African cultural tourism agency that links up tourists who want to LIVE(home stay), STUDY (cultural and educational)and WORK (internship and volunteer)in Africa with local hosts in rural villages and towns.
