Samenvatting:

A dream on my bucket list, came true! I traveled to Kenya on a voluntary experience. I always knew that it would be leaving an impact and I would return back as a new person and so it did. A three week experience marked my life and my thoughts forever. My daily routine and the most common thing one could do, started to be accompanied with a simple question, 'What if I was in Kenya?'
This experience was not just an adventure but also a voyage in which I discovered different ways to see life. Less materialistic and more real humane. All the things I ended up writing, made me realize that even though in the beginning I had regrets, now, I would want to relive it again and again since I do not want to forget what I achieved. I discovered the true meaning of happiness.
Surely, many lived such an experience and not everyone would end up thinking like me.
Such an experience is an individual journey and this book is like a journal or diary which in a way criticizes my way of living. It would be amazing to get to know the thoughts and feelings of others who shared the same experience! Is it just me or it leaves such an impact on everyone?
