Africa is incredible. I went to South Africa, Mozambique, Swaziland, Namibia, Zambia and sort of Zimbabwe. I did some volunteer work in both South Africa and Swaziland. I would love to go and do it again. Both different types of volunteer but both very satisfying and a great experience.skalpel wrote:Your trip to Namibia sounds incredible, Africa is a must-see really, if not only for for the wildlife and scenery. Must be honest though, I'm not sure I'd be trying to get close to lions on purpose .
As for Europe, I've done it a couple of times - it's usually how I pick a place to live. The first time was only a few countrys but quite extensively; France, Germany and all of Benelux. The second time was France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Czech Republic (where we stopped and got a flat).
I'd thoroughly recommend it though, especially around the alps which are breathtaking in every country they run through; from the Italian villages high up in the tree covered mountains to the twisting Swiss roads or Bavarian castles.
I would love to do that around Europe, I wouldn't like to do it by myself though, so need to rope someone into it. It sounds amazing.
P.s. I also went to the World Cup Final in South Africa - something to tell the Grand-kids one day!
