Hi, my name is Adam. This summer, a good friend of mine and I will be leaving the States and traveling through South/East Africa. Spanning a half dozen countries and several thousand miles, this journey will certainly be one of the true adventures of our lives. I hope that my friends, family, and perfect strangers enjoy following me as I discover a continent that I have always wanted to explore. I enjoy comments and emails as they make me feel loved and remembered.
