About this blog

The plan, my own personal challenge, was to travel through 10 countries in 10 weeks, all on public transport and on a serious shoestring budget. I finished my Journalism course in November 2006 and decided to go on an investigative journey. I have wanted to cross Africa for the past 7 years, and although this journey didn't go the whole way, I still traveled the equivalent height of the continent - roughly 22,500 kilometers. I told many people my motive was to find an 'African City' to live in because "Cape Town, she is not Africa". I found one and Kigali is her name. I believe that the journey IS the destination, and that it's not only about where you're going , but how you get there, what you experience and who you meet along the way
