Fly Tea anyone?

by Pam Sykes, in category Stories & Inspiration

I was chatting with a friend the other day about how difficult it can be to do something out of your comfort zone.  The conversation brought me back to the first time I was REALLY pushed outside of my comfort zone.  I was 21 years old and embarked on a one month trip to Africa…… Read More
