Keep the great stories coming!

I'll be in Africa in late March, God willing, but unfortunately, I'll be far from where you'll likely be. I'm going to Nakuru, Kenya to work in a school for a week. I'd had loved the opportunity to buy you a nice dinner and hear some stories and experiences first hand!

Here's to a great 2017 for you!

Hi All,

I'm loving every second of exploring Guinea, though my time is coming to a close!

Which way do you guys think I should go next? North to Mali, or continue around the coast to Sierra Leon?
I'm on the fence.

Hi All,

The West African mud pits have begun!
This is a highway in Guinea in the North from Koundára to Labé. National Route something something. The Chinese were building a section of it, this is a bit they hadn't got to yet.
The trucks had been stuck there for days, I walked right through it.

It's a video - embedding it seems to be too hard.

👍🏻👍🏻 I hope one day you turn this journey into a movie-ish video on YouTube, sectioned off into 35-45 min increments. Looking forward to more stories!

Hi Everyone,

I have driven into Mali, Africa country number 7!

Read the whole story of the border crossing here: Into Mali | The Road Chose Me


I also just posted this video of crossing a swing bridge it Guinea over a swollen river.
What do you think, would you mess around on this bridge?

I'm checking out Sibi, a beautiful town in Southern Mali.

Obviously I'm keeping up to date on the safety situation in Mali, and talking to lots and lots of people about the reality on the ground.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to go North to the Doggone Country due to all the fighting there, the Mali military will actually stop me if I even try.
