Samantha Young – Special to Kincardine News
Currently my life feels pretty amazing. I have the privilege of having sort of an unusual job that takes me to a sort of unusual place in the world where I get to take part in incomparable adventures, and then share these experiences with the people I love back home.
I’m living in Tajikistan, a small country in Central Asia with a population of 8 million and area of 143,100km2. It is bordered by Afghanistan, China, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan.
I came to be here through an amazing program called the Aga Khan Fellowship Program, run by the Aga Khan Foundation of Canada.
