Malawicked!

Tomorrow I will be going on an adventure with my friends Tuva, Kimberly and J.B. We'll be flying to Lilongwe (Malawi) and then travel on to Mangochi which is on the shore of the magnificent Lake Malawi (which is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites).


Sunset on the Lake


The main reason for our trip is the Lake of Stars festival. 'The Lake of Stars' is the nickname for Lake Malawi coined by David Livingstone.This name came about due to lights from the lanterns of the fishermen in Malawi on their boats, that resemble, from a distance, stars in the sky.

Amazingly rich biodiversity in the lake


Q Magazine, the UK’s leading music magazine dubbed Lake of Stars: ‘Simply the finest festival in the world’. Am I excited? Oh yeah!!!



After the festival, We'll be spending lazy days at the shore of the lake, as well as kayaking, snorkeling and visiting the Liwonde park and in general backpacking around for a week.

It's going to be dancing, partying, dancing and more dancing, chilling, laughing, dancing.. it's going to be Malawicked!!!
