What's in the name?

I changed the name of my blog this week. While I loved "Mi Vida en Monterrey" it doesn't exactly bode well in South Africa. It's funny because I thought about this name for a long time. I had this crazy list of names picked out but none of them really felt right. At one point, I thought Simply Africa would work. A good friend of mine pointed out, "Hannah, when has Africa ever been simple?" So true.

So why "Definitely Africa"

This week, I've gone through a ton of problems with getting my visa and making this trip work out. When I tell people about it, they just say, "Well Hannah, you're definitely moving to Africa."
It hit me. It works for everything.

Where do you want to travel?
Definitely Africa

Why is getting a visa so frustrating?
You're definitely moving to Africa

Man, I feel scared to move.
Of course you do, you're definitely going to Africa.

Where do you want to work abroad?
Definitely Africa

Where do you feel a difference needs to be made?
Definitely Africa

Which place has some of the most amazing people I've met before?
Definitely Africa

And it goes on....

Move is in T-minus 4 days. Crazy.

Definitely!

There will definitely be obstacles. No mountain has ever been climbed without obstacles. Once you are on top you will look down and see that those obstacles were just stepping stones. And then - what a view!

Definitely!
