How to form a deeper connection while traveling with Justa Lujwangana
Have you ever wondered how to form a deeper connection while traveling?
This week, I talked to Justa Lujwangana who is the founder of Curious on Tanzania.
Justa emigrated to the United States at the age of 12 from Tanzania. Although Justa was born in Tanzania, she spent her formative years in the U.S which shaped her views of Tanzania from a Wsterner’s point of view.
It took 10 years for Justa to finally revisit Tanzania, where she was introduced to the beauty of the land and its people. After being reacquainted with her country, Justa soon found herself “addicted” to learning more about her country and creating a deeper connection with Tanzania.
This newfound interest and connection led Justa to create Curious on Tanzania, a company that provides customized travel and adventures to Tanzania with a focus on sustainable tourism.
In this episode, Justa shares how to form a deeper connection while traveling and how to create your own opportunities.
