An Introduction

About me: My name is Conrad and I am embarking on a six-month adventure in Uganda. While this will be somewhat of a travel blog, I should add a disclaimer – I am not by any definition of the term “a traveler”. My passport is very much a blushing bride, with all of her pages very much still all in white. While other travelogues might regale with useful tips, tales of daring adventure and bashful attempts at sounding modest in the face of rapidly changing adversity, this space will be more part of a Mr. Bean Goes to Africa meets Seinfeld, Kampala edition. While I am quite quick on the draw in rural environments (my former farming colleagues might violently interject at this point), my ability to get lost (I once got lost in my friend’s girlfriend’s house: true story), stumble into awkward situations, and meet a random selection of sit-com situations and personalities is what will keep YOU, THE READER coming back. While every piece of writing one endeavors has a hope of reaching a wider audience, I am first and foremost writing this for myself, my family and my friends: hopefully so those closest to me can vicariously witness as I evolve from Mr. Bean to a Bill Bryson.
