What are the key highlights from Natasha Nicholes's recent trip to Malawi?

Natasha’s Malawi trip was centered on a Habitat for Humanity build, helping create homes for a small village. The experience shifted her perspective more than she expected, changing her “heart, mind, and soul” rather than just the community she went to serve.

She highlights:

1. Joyful daily connection with families and children through dancing, language, and shared meals
2. The strength and generosity of the village, where neighbors ensured everyone had food, clothing, and shelter
3. Deep encounters with nature: massive baobab trees, wildlife like elephants and giraffes, and an unforgettable night sky she could only “drink in,” not photograph

It left her feeling that the community she visited was “richer” than she could ever hope to be, and eager to return.

Is there a particular part of the trip you would like more detail on—community life, the build itself, or the travel experience?
