WHO IS THIS FOR?

"The Stone Town tour was a day filled with bonding, information, soul wrenching accounts and inspiration all mixed into one. Learning of the different architectural influences. The chains carved into ornate doors to mark the homes of slave traders.

The locals kindly allowing us to cram into their shop to seek refuge from the rain that wouldn't let up. Seeing the sculpture dedicated to the "spirited slaves" that would not concede. The sorrow that washed over me as we crouched down to enter actual slave quarters. 😔😪 What a day...

"What a journey."

"After I traveled with you to Zanzibar, I couldn't get enough of the country, so I traveled to Dar es Salaam for 2 days.

Returned after 3 months, stayed 3 months in Dar & Arusha and ended up buying a lot 🙈😁 and planning to make it my home away from home 🙌🏾

...Yeahhh, so BTF has a special place in my heart! ❤"

- Gurry

"It all started by traveling with you to Zanzi ❤🙏🏾”
