In all the excitement of the “80 days in Africa”, coming back to the US for a few weeks to pack up, teaching my Spirit-N-Light workshop, and then relocating to Kenya, I forgot to share some very exciting news!!! Several months ago I woke up to an email from National Geographic Traveler Poland, yes, I said, “ Poland!” They wanted to publish some of my work on the Tribes of the Omo Valley, and interview me for an article. The email stated their writer would be in contact shortly as they were on a tight deadline. The interview was done over Skype in the next few days. The article, was an 8-page, lead in story in their September issue; 50 best places to travel.
Here is a link to see the article. Yes, it is in Polish and I am sure they would have sent the English translation, but I just have not had the time to request it. National Geographic Traveler sent several copies of the magazine to my home in the US and it was very exciting to this article in print, when I arrived home from my “80 days in Africa.”
The Omo Valley is one of the most culturally rich tribal regions in the world. Inspired by their environment of wild trees, exotic flowers and lush vegetation these tribes use the clay soil of bright yellows, startling whites and rich earth-reds to pair each other’s bodies and make bold decisions about their outfits. In essance becoming a awaking body of art; known as a living museum to anthropologist. Modernization is coming into this area quickly and change is happening rapidly.
If you would like to travel to this region, please see the two exciting tours I am offering to this region in 2015.
Congratulations Piper! This is fantastic!!
