Greenfeet Guides has moved!

I'm finally resurfacing after a summer of transition: We returned to home base in Washington DC after our 3-year assignment in Dubai, routing via Kenya for a wildlife safari (definitely the highpoint of the summer!)
​
Safari Highlight: Watching a cheetah stealthily hunt a gazelle!
Take home message: Everything is fair game in Nature! 

​For our children (now teenagers), this latest chapter in our global adventure was a chance to learn about life in a Muslim country ruled by an absolute monarchy, neither of which we’d experienced before. They experienced the reality of living in a desert landscape where water and shade are scarce, the sun is HOT, and sand is endless, and they saw what's possible, even in such a tough environment, if you have determined leaders with a vision. Most importantly, they made friends with kids who shared new perspectives – mostly Arab, British, South Asian, Palestinian at their international school – on everything from social trends to new foods and celebrations to politics. 
 
It was a tearful goodbye for us all, but I always feel that’s the sign of a good cultural experience - that we made meaningful connections in a new part of the world which will stay with us long after we board the plane. Those connections have been the true gift of exploring the world with our kids; now we move onto discovering what awaits in our home country in the US…
