Why Should I Travel to Africa?

Why Travel to Africa?

In 2018, When I started telling people about my upcoming trip to travel to Africa, I got a lot of puppy dog looks. You know when you’re talking to a dog and it cocks its head and lifts its ears and gives you that look like “What are you saying?”. I only had one person say to me “You’re crazy”. Most just thought it. Some were intrigued but most just had a preconceived notion that Africa is dangerous and full of diseases.

Africa is an amazing continent with beautiful people. I did not find it to be dangerous and certainly not disease infested. Of course, like any foreign country do your research, don’t venture out into unknown areas, get your recommended vaccines, and take your Malaria meds!
