Why Visit Zanzibar

Zanzibar, what is it known for? Unless you've already explored this part of Africa, you won't even know there is a tropical paradise waiting to be discovered. A unique combination of exotic beaches, a colorful history, and a diverse culture make this island a compelling destination and will make you dream to Kite surf Zanzibar. You will be amazed by the beauty of this place.

Kitesurfing Location

Almost all of the tourists who visit Paje go here for kitesurfing. This makes the town itself look less commercialized and more traditional. If you’re a kitesurfing geek and looking for a special place to enjoy kitesurfing, then a kite surfing in Paje Zanzibar beach should be on your bucket list. Often referred to as the “Pearl of Zanzibar”, this beautiful paradise is one of the world's most coveted kitesurfing spots.

Visiting Zanzibar was a magical experience; the people are down to earth and incredibly honest. Plus, the white sand is unlike anything we've seen before — There are many white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters in this area, making it home to one of the most beautiful beaches on the planet.

Weather and Wind Conditions

All throughout the day, the tide in Paje drastically rises and falls. Low tides leave the inner lagoon empty and kiters have no choice but to head out to the sandbanks or on the outer lagoon. During low and high tides, both of these lagoons offer perfect knee-deep flatwater conditions. High tide offers mild chop and some kickers for some freestyle.

Kite surf in Zanzibar enjoy two seasons in Paje. Beginning mid-December, the first one runs until the end of February. During this time of year, the wind comes from the North and it blows at approximately 12 to 25 knots. Locals call this season the Kaskazi. From time to time, Paje gets hit by anticyclones from the Indian Ocean, which can bring in some pretty decent swell.

The second season is commonly known as the Kuzi and it takes place from May until October. If you happen to visit the area during this season, you'll notice that the winds are a little bit calm in the morning while they become more wild around noon. This is the time when surf spots start popping up everywhere!

Unlike some tropical beaches, Zanzibar's reef isn't as extreme as those on other tropical islands. You could usually see turtles or dolphins joining kiters on the shoreline during kitesurfing sessions.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
