Cliché About Me First Blog

Hello all. My name is Komal Ramzanali and I am participating in the CIEE 2013 Summer Community Public Health program in Gaborone, Botswana. The length of this program is seven weeks beginning May 27th and ending July 15th. This will be my first time traveling to Africa. After the end of my program, my brother and I will travel for fifteen days to various countries including South Africa, Botswana, Swaziland, and Lesotho. We also plan to travel to Victoria Falls, thereby covering parts of Zambia and Zimbabwe.

A little about me is that I am an undergraduate student at The University of Texas Austin (HOOK EM HORNS) and I have just finished my second year. I am a born and raised Texan and boy, do I love Texas. I am majoring in public health and I plan to continue my education in the field of public health. However, I enjoy keeping my options and my future open to what the universe brings at me so everything is tentative.

This blog is for the purpose of documenting my journey as well as for the enjoyment and curiosity of others whether it may be family, friends, strangers, travelers, or potential study abroad students. This is my first attempt at blogging and I apologize for any amateur writing mistakes or grammar errors. In my defense, I’m a science student and better at writing research papers so bare with me and enjoy the read!
