A woman on a mission - Africa, Iran and the Silk Road
About this blog
Welcome to Hannah's adventures in Africa and beyond :-)
I've spent the last 6 months backpacking through the darkest depths of Africa, and am now nearly at the end of my journey through Turkey, Iran, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
My good ol' trusted travel partner Kirsty is now back in Melbourne (yay for Telstra!) so this time i've been flying solo... a lot easier than I expected. Read on....
