Hi. Im a Peace Corps Volunteer in Namibia. Im about to finish my 2 years and was planning on traveling through Zambia and Malawi to get to Mozambique; then well travel north to Dar Es Salam. I will be traveling with 3 other volunteers and were looking for information on Mozambique.
If you can help me out send me an email at: natebloss@gmail.com. I would be happy to hear from you; we havnt been able to find much useful information on the internet.
Questions we have: 1. Where should we go? Is there anything in the north to see. Any nice beaches up there? We would prefer to cross Lake Malawi and hang out in the north before heading to Tanzania. But if all the nice beaches are in the South we'll want to travel in that direction. 2. How much are Visa costs, and whats the best way to get one. 3. Ideally we want to take a train from Mozambique to Dar Es Salam. Are there any trains? If not, can we hitch hike (free hike?). We free hike everywhere in Namibia and its safe...is it safe in Mozambique? If neither of these are options how are the buses? 4. Do you know any cheap backpackers on archipelago de pacaruto? 5. How would we get to archipelago de pacaruto? 6. How are prices on things? 7. Anything else we should know?
Sorry for all the questions; just answer what you have time to.
My name is Scooter Anata Walsh and I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Mozambique from '09-'12. I arrived in September '09 as a chemistry teacher in the education sector. I taught 8th grade math my first year and 11th grade English my second year, and facilitated multiple youth development groups. During my second year I was also the National Financial Director of REDES, a girls' empowerment group. During my third year extension (2012) I was the Malaria Activities Coordinator for Peace Corps in Mozambique, as part of the Peace Corps initiative Stomping Out Malaria in Africa. From January-April 2013 I will be working in Swaziland.

Stomping Out Malaria in Africa
The Stomping Out Malaria in Africa initiative is a new partnership between Peace Corps and the President's Malaria Initiative (PMI). Currently 23 countries are part of this continent-wide concerted effort to stomp out malaria!
