No WiFi? No problem

It’s probably not a surprise to anyone that WiFi is hard to come by in Africa. Instead of searching for internet all week, I figured Dan’s advice would be to adventure now and blog later. So that’s what I did. Before I go on about the people, food, animals and my experiences in Zambia, I figure […]
