Hi! My name is Maud and I'm 16 years old. I'm a student on the Heerbeeck College in Best. Now I'm in the fifth grade of VWO. Best is also the place where I live together with my parents and my younger sister. When I go on holiday with my family we mostly go to Spain or Greece. We like to relax and lay down in the sun all day, not very adventurous:) So this trip to Kenya will be completely different to what I'm used to.
Since I was little I dreamed of this kind of trip. I always wanted to go to Africa but my parents were never really into it before. So from the moment I got this opportunity, there was no doubt at all. I would like to see the African culture, the way the inhabitants behave and the nature of the country.
I expect Kenya to be very different compared to The Netherlands. This trip will probably be an eye opener for all of us, seeing what it is like to live in Africa. We are used to the rich culture of the Netherlands but we will see that this is not the matter of course for everyone.
I'm very excited for this trip to Kenya, I can't wait to go there!
