Hi Jules,
My name is Cynthia and I’m a second-year Print Futures student. Rebecca Vaughan sent an email to you on my behalf about possibly using one of your articles for my magazine project. I spent two years in Africa volunteering so I can relate to much of your blog. I just read “You are here” and was reminded of feelings and thoughts I’ve pushed down for a long time. Thanks for writing – I think the processing of living abroad isn’t written about often enough.
Cynthia
Very good post! The photos (before and after) make the story come alive. Thanks for sharing.
