About

me

Welcome to Morgan Through A Lens! My name is Morgan (obviously, haha). I’m an American living on a Zambian farm with my husband and a troop of wild monkeys as neighbors.

Morgan Through A Lens originally started as a way for me to share my experiences in Peace Corps South Africa with people back home (my early blog posts all started with, ‘Hey Friends and Family‘) but we’ve grown a lot since then.

Take a look around, find some travel inspo, and leave a comment so we can chat!
