stay at one of the many luxurious hotels overlooking the Zambezi River and Victoria Falls - who wouldn't with those beautiful views. However, I had a strict backpackers budget to stick to! Lucky for me, accommodation on offer in Victoria Falls and Livingstone ranges from budget & basic to extravagant & high end. Before my travels to Victoria Falls, I’d never been on a proper backpacking trip, and so I had a complete misconception about the type of accommodation that backpackers stayed in! To my surprise
Sonia Sotomayor is a hispanic member of the supreme court whose life was full of outstanding accomplishments, great adversity, and an unfaltering perseverance to fight the adversity.

Livingstone was born March 19, 1813 and at the young age of 23 began studying medicine and theology so that he could fulfill his original life goal of becoming a medical missionary in China.

After
David Livingstone's life began on March 19th, 1813, in the town of Blantyre, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. He had six siblings. David could recite Psalm 119, at the age of 9. At the age of 10, David began to be employed at the cotton mill of H. Monteith and Co, where he worked 12 to 14 hour days, 6 days a week, as a piecer, with his older brother John.

dead on taxpayer-public radio. Asked to find some commentators to give an instant reaction to the death of Britain’s greatest post-war prime minister – an event that was not exactly unforeseen –they reached instinctively for Gerry Adams and Ken Livingstone, two of her bitterest foes – if you exclude the Tory wets, that is. As her cortege wound its way from St Brides to St Paul’s there were a few people so stupid that they heckled the mortal remains of an 87 year old woman. A few turned their backs
His most recent book “The Explorers: A Story of Fearless Outcasts, Blundering Geniuses, and Impossible Success” published in 2014, is a story about two adventurers; Richard Francis Burton and John Hanning Speke who set off to find the origin of river Nile in 1856, parting ways, and leaving a path of controversy.
