Love your blog! Having recently traveled to Africa I relate well to your experiences and love your sense of adventure and belief in the power of ethics. How did you get so wise at 20? Looking forward to your next entry!
great blogging Thanks for your blogging! My fiance and I spent last summer in Badakhshan and loved it very much. It is so true that it is one of the most hospitable, safest places in the world. And every person we met in Badakhshan was so kind and helpful. Great stories...
Nice blog! I really liked reading this blog! Myself and a friend are hoping to pass this way next year, and it's good to hear there is another option apart from the 12-week river journey from Kinshasha to Kisangani. Nice writing mate, keep it up!
so what does monkey meat taste like? :D Hi Sasha.. I'm Daniel. A couple of Swedish traveler's you met on the way recommended me to read your blog. You sure had some interesting trips. Your route from Bangui to Kisangani coincides to what I am planning to do. But I will do it the opposite direction... let's hope it works out. I really enjoy reading your stories. If you get a chance please send me an email at: the_mighty_dan@hotmail.com
I am looking for a little advice. Do you know any cheap hotels or campsites in Bangui and Kisangani? Or anywhere in between? Anyhow, any advice would be appreciated. And I'm looking forward for your next journal. Where are you at the moment?

What the hell u all do there ? Fuck off !
Guinea Bissau blog Enjoyed this. I correspond with a family in Bafata through Childreach in an economic fostering. I've heard of this island and am happy now to have read your history there. Pithy your comment on not worrying until the natives do, wise words. Glad you had good guts.
Hi ! I have been 3 times in CAR and I understand what you tell about. The first time, I travelled from Cameroun to Bangui by road: a nightmare : about 150 dollars for the roadblock... I agree : presidential guards are the worst and I spend 2 night in jail ! (they thought I was a mercenary!)... But this country has something very strong for me: I love this country... People try to do as the can... In fact, they have money only every 4 months... And how can they do ? Their lifes are very hard... But they keep friendly. Long life to central african !
Whao "I ride around a lot on motorcycles, as Kano is very pedestrian unfriendly(crossing the street here is the biggest adventure I've had yet in Africa, crossing eight lanes of speeding trucks and motorcyles with goats and vendors running around) so I kind of have the same emotional sensation from being in Nigeria that I get from snowboarding, which is pretty fun, but it keeps me pretty tense, definitely not a good place to come for a relaxing vacation." one of the best comments I have seen on my country. Thank you.
Great stuff Alex Well you are opening hearts and eyes worldwide brother! I will be in Thailand in 2 weeks, hope you make it over, but if you didn't go over with Alana i doubt I'll see you (she's much cuter). Please take care and be as safe as possible, we all love and miss you. I will try to e-mail you when i get to asia. Ciao for now, dude, D
Wow, it sounds about hundred times more hard core than anywhere we went.... But your pictures are beautiful, and even with a bout of falciparum you look healthy. Despite my anxieties I'm endlessly pleased that you made the trip. And thank god you made it to some internet because I was seriously perusing airfare to come find you dehydrated and dying on the side of the river. Love Alana
Just Curious I discovered your blog today and, while I haven't read all your entries, I've enjoyed the ones I have read. (My blogs are listed under Cameroon.) I'm interested in learning how long you've been traveling, if you have an itinerary, how you're paying for all this, what compelled you to do it, etc. I didn't find any blog that answered these questions...
cool with a travelblog Hi
I was thinking about visiting an african country this year, and was looking on the internet to see if I could find something special. Then I saw your travelblog and I thought Maroc what a wonderful place to visite, so thank you for drawing attention to Maroc ; ) I cant wait to visite the places you have written about and put on you blog.

All is well It is good to hear your trip is going well and it was great to see you in Paris. I will be missing you and sending my own good mojo your way. The energy talk must be driving your dad crazy, but I know how you feel. ;) xxJ
Wow What a beautiful description of Mauritania, Nouakchott and the Marabout. I'm glad you have someone looking out for you this time! If I can sell enough houses I'll be there to join you for a couple weeks!
I am twenty years old, a student, I pay for my travelling currently with student loans and financial aid from The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington and occassional emergency contributions from my parents. I travel because I can't really not, and because I am interested in trying to visit the areas that are blanks on the map, that I know nothing about so I can know a lot about these places... I also like travelling in very difficult places, my top destinations are Tokelau, Somalia, Democractic Republic of Congo, the Comoros, Madagascar, Sudan, Iran, Guyana, Bhutan, North Korea,... full info
