Well, I did it. Still not sure i believe it, but the obvious is hard to ignore or challenge - I'm in Africa.
South Africa, to be exact, but only for another 24 hours. Tommorrow I'm off to Botswana. If all goes well there, it will be my new home for the next couple of years, at the least.
I've been doing lots of research and determined that my best chances for the future lie in actually getting to Africa now, and building up my hours here. If I fly in Bots for a couple years, then maybe ...

Please come buy my stuff!!
I'm leaving this continent and must sell everything I have. It ain't much but the landfill is no place for it.

… it’s amazing the things you can learn, and the people who help you.
This is my final week in Peru. I’ll be back in the EE.UU soon and in a strange way, I don’t feel as sad as I expected. But then, it seems we learn the most when we confront the unexpected.
I’m spending these last hours saying goodbyes and trying to squeeze the most out of my remaining time. Seems to work best when I just get the hell out of the way and let things unfold. I was in the jungle recently and everything the...
