Diary of a Muzungu follows my life in Uganda, initially as a VSO volunteer with the Uganda Conservation Foundation: here I recount why I came to Uganda, the culture shock, my (mis)interpretation of life around me and adventures in the bush. Uganda wouldn’t let me go! Now based on the edge of Kibale Forest – the adventure continues.
