Accidental Horned Frog meetings in Swaziland



Courtney Loechl '08 manages a backpackers hostel in Swaziland, which borders South Africa. One day earlier this spring, she walked into the kitchen and was surprised to find a girl in a TCU t-shirt. 


Writes Courtney, "I asked if she went to TCU, and she said, 'Yes, do you know it?' I quickly replied, 'Know it? I went there too!' Which is how I met Lyndi Conrad Liersemann '03 (photo below with Courtney) in Africa, who was traveling with her husband Aaron. Of course we had to take a horned frog picture!"

But the TCU encounters don't end there. 

A few months later, Josh Cauthen '07 (photo above with Courtney) stayed at the hostel while completing an internship for the City of Mbabane, a Fort Worth sister city. "It was wonderful to share old memories with fellow horned frogs," says Courtney, "while discovering a beautiful new country and culture"
