i'm leaving benin tomorrow. after living here 9 months, it's hard to say where home is. i was actually in the US for all of 38 hours a few weeks ago--yes, that means i spent more time in the air than i did on the ground... but it was for a job interview and it was totally worth it. when i got back to benin, my adopted family picked me up from the airport... which actually felt more familiar than when i landed in the US a few days before. i got to the house and my "little brothers" had made signs to welcome me home. i am super psyched to move back State side, but i'm going to miss my family, friends and students here like crazy.
peace out benin!
