Sara LeHoullier in Madagascar

Sara LeHoullier in Madagascar

Why should you go to Madagascar? Sara LeHoullier is itching to tell you. Armed with a love of rice with ambiguous meat chunks, a stomach of steel, a firm grasp on multiple dialects of the Malagasy language, and lots of mosquito repellent, Sara is going exploring both on and off the beaten path on the world's 4th largest island for the next three months.

She'll be searching for the nature that makes this island famous, lots of rich cultural heritage, and, of course, all manner of street food (or 'fried deliciousness').

Join her as she makes friends with the lemurs and chameleons while trekking through the national parks, tries to decide which beach is the prettiest (not an easy task), and most importantly, talks to as many people as possible, collecting proverbs, stories, and hopefully friends.
