TOP STORY: 14 Countries Later... the dark continent of Africa is full of Color and Hope
After a 9 1/2 month journey across Africa, the trip is complete. Good Will, Patience, and Vigilance are the key components that helped me successfully travel from the south tip of Africa (Cape Town) all the way up to Cairo.

We all shall Live a Helter Skelter Kind of life

" I think you really should make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live their lives within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change that situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism. All of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit, within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter - skelter style of life that will first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty. In short you really need to challenge yourself and get out and hit the road. I guarantee you will be very glad you did. For some reason, most people just want to bolt back home as quickly as possible, right back to the same situation which they encounter on a daily basis day after day after day. I fear that majority of people will follow this same inclination in the future and thus fail to discover all the wonderful things that God has placed around us to discover. Don't settle down and sit in one place. Move around, be nomadic, make each day a new horizon. Most of us are going to live a long time, it would be a shame if you did not take the opportunity to revolutionize your life and move into an entirely new realm of experience.

My point is that you do not need me or anyone else around you to bring this new kind of light into your life. It is simply waiting out there for you to grasp it, and all you have to do is reach for it. The only person you are fighting is yourself and your stubbornness to engage in new circumstances. Once you travel you will get the most amazing opportunities to meet people from all over the world and there is so much to learn from them. Don't hesitate or allow yourself to make excuses. Just get out and do it. You will be very glad that you did. "
