Zanzibar Prep: eVisa Approved

General, Trip Planning

I checked on my eVisa today and it was approved. I applied on February 24th and my eVisa was approved on February 27th. I’m honestly surprised my visa was approved in such a short amount of time. When I applied for my visa for Ghana, it took about 2 weeks.

My Birthday Trip is Booked and I’m Headed to Zanzibar

Trip Planning

Every year for the past 7 or 8 years, I’ve gotten into the habit of booking a trip for my birthday. The trips started small at first. The first trip I took was to Las Vegas. After that, the trips got more exotic. I managed to book trips to Panama,
