No Place Like a New Home

After 34 hours of travel (and a missed flight and re-routed stop through Istanbul), I've finally settled in my new home in Nairobi! I am living with another Princeton in Africa fellow, Rebecca, in the IRC guesthouse; our charming apartment is on the fourth floor of a quiet complex. It might be the jet-lag talking, but I felt at home the minute I walked through the door. Moving is never an effortless thing, and this move to Nairobi brings with it the most stable living situation I've had in four years. I have loved the exhilaration of moving to school in Los Angeles, to Rwanda, to study abroad, to LA again, to New York, and the occasional stop back to San Francisco in between. At the same time, it's been exhausting packing and feeling comfortable, only to move onto the next place. I look forward to getting to know this city and having the breathing space to feel settled for a while. More pics to come (and maybe even some stories of culinary efforts)!
