An unexpected journey to Somalia from "summary" of A House in the Sky by Amanda Lindhout,Sara Corbett
The decision to travel to Somalia was not one that had been carefully planned or calculated. It was not a destination that was on my radar or even within the realm of possibility. Yet, there I was, finding myself on a journey to a country that was known for its danger and instability. The idea of going to Somalia had never crossed my mind until it was suggested by a fellow traveler. At first, I dismissed it as a reckless and foolish idea. But as I thought more about it, I couldn't shake the feeling of curiosity and intrigue that began to grow within me. I found myself drawn to the idea of exploring a place that was so vastly different from anything I had ever experienced before. As I made the decision to go to Somalia, I was filled with a mixture of excitement and trepidation. I knew that I was embarking on a journey that was far from ordinary, and that the risks were high. But I also felt a sense of adventure and wanderlust that pushed me forward, despite the warnings and concerns of those around me. Arriving in Somalia, I was immediately struck by the stark contrast between the beauty of the landscape and the harsh reality of the situation on the ground. The chaos and violence that surrounded me served as a constant reminder of the danger that I had willingly placed myself in. Despite the challenges and difficulties that I faced during my time in Somalia, I found myself captivated by the resilience and strength of the people that I met. Their stories and struggles touched me in a way that I had never experienced before, and I felt a deep sense of empathy and connection to their plight. My unexpected journey to Somalia was a test of my courage and resilience, a reminder of the fragility of life and the power of human connection. It was a journey that would change me in ways that I could never have imagined, and leave an indelible mark on my soul.
