African Countries and Cultures
When we explore new places, we see the land and people through many lenses. We can think like geographers, scientists, journalists or artists. Sometimes we use a combination of views, as well as our own biases and experiences, to investigate new discoveries. Travel and exploration is always personal and the connections we make reflect on who we are as people, as well as the understandings we create by opening our hearts and minds to new and different cultures.
