  • Challenges Abroad Tanzania

    On the 20th February 2025, St Michael’s saw their first 6th form cohort embark on a trip of a lifetime – Challenges Abroad, Tanzania. I had the absolute privilege to accompany Will and Meredith, as we embarked on our epic 30 hours travelling on mini buses and planes to arrive at our final destination; the Tanzanian Hub, which was to be our home for the next two weeks. The first weekend was getting ourselves accustomed to our new environment, experiencing new foods (all vegetarian), new beds and a new language (Swahili).
