I just finished a couple of years in East Africa and now I am enjoying adventures in South East Asia!! Thus far I have visited Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Malaysia. I travel a bit differently than most "backpackers" ; I travel slowly- I like to take my time to get to know places and get to know people. I am also working along the way; I recently started teaching English online, so Saturdays and Sundays are my work days. Because of this I must structure my travels a bit differently, making sure that I have a quiet and well-lit space for teaching on these days and ensuring that I make my movements during the week. So far it has been do-able for me and works with my slow-paced style :) My main interests are food, plants, traditional medicine, and beekeeping. I am passionate about health and anything that supports human health in a natural way. Occasionally I interview people who work in these fields and post stories about them on my website (www.MollyBHagan.com). In Tanzania I was living and working in a small Maasai village named Ololosokwan. I was teaching a jewelry training for a group of Maasai women as well as working with a honey business. I worked with the honey business to improve their natural cosmetics made from beeswax. Together we made skin salves, soaps, lip balms, and candles. I also enjoyed learning about the traditional Maasai plant medicine ;) Besides Tanzania my former travels include 6 months in Peru, learning through work-exchange programs ~ growing organic cacao & coffee, growing oyster mushrooms, and assisting local families. It was an incredible adventure and an amazing learning experience! It definitely infected me with the travel bug...
