Hi All,

I am out exploring the mountains of Togo, right along the border of Ghana.

I am loving this place! Much cleaner than nearby countires and really, really friendly people.

How is the Jeep running, I hear you ask?

Hey everyone,

Exactly a year to the day since I bought this Jeep, I have driven it to Elephants!!

I am still pinching myself, and I can't believe the scale of the adventures I have already had, but more than that, what is in front of me!

The adventure keeps growing by the day!

Next up: Nigeria.
Gulp.

Thanks!

After 12,800 miles through 12 countries, the time has come to enter Nigeria!



Starting tomorrow, follow a post every day on The Road Chose Me for the duration of my drive across Nigeria.

I am not certain I will have the ability to update here as I move through, so be sure to follow The Road Chose Me on Facebook so you don't miss an update, or check The road chose me every day!

(You can also sign up for email updates from The Road Chose Me - fill in the form on the top right of screen at The road chose me)



This is one I have been anxious about for many months.

Hi All,

Nigeria is rolling along.

I drove in, through an interesting Immigration post and did not get any paperwork for my Jeep at all.
I really hope that does not become a problem.....

On the first day I went through a lot of intense military checkpoints, and had to deal with prices magically going up...

Hi All,

Ahhhh, I got the website fixed, sorry it's been offline.
When in doubt, turn off code you wrote yourself

For those that missed it, the journey across Nigeria has been amazing, here are a few links to the pages you might not have seen while the site was down:

Hi All,

I am roaming around the mountainous NorthWest of Cameroon, absolutely loving the lack of humidity and cool nights.
Slowing down is also really nice after the hectic pace of Nigeria.

Hi All,

I am absolutely loving the mountains of Cameroon.
Warm days, cool nights and almost no humidity.
Sleeping through the night is a novelty!

Also, the people are fantastic!
