Megan Kronberg recently returned from a 2 1/2 year operation with the United States' Peace Corps. She was stationed primarily in Burkina Faso, a landlocked nation in West Africa (near neighbor of Niger and Ghana). Entrenched in the regional culture for so long, Megan has accumulated an impressive catalog of tips and recommendations for the average american planning on vacationing in this beautiful country.

In this lesson, Megan describes some of the more important customs of which to be aware, lists off some of the common mistakes americans make when arriving in Africa, and generally prepares the viewer for his/her future trip. This is a must for any first time visitor to Africa.
