The most memorable parts were the women I met and worked with as a volunteer in Uganda. The women were strong, resilient, courageous, determined and inspirational. They were also welcoming of a white woman from Australia - making me feel one of them as we walked or sat in a circle to meet and explore opportunities.

Seeing Victoria Falls and all the wildlife in Africa was the most memorable part of the holiday...Fantastic.
