"Find life experiences and swallow them whole,
travel, meet many people, go down dark alleys, and explore dead ends, exhaust yourself in the glorious pursuit of life." ( K.Fish)
For many years I've traveled. I've journeyed through the business and construction world, building houses, and sometimes even enjoying the process. Last year, I found out something wonderful. I love to travel. After my first journey to New Zealand, I set out for Africa. Nothing could have prepared me for the affection I would feel for the people and unique places on that continent. I was out of my element and loving it!
So now, having tied up all business obligations in Seattle, I'm ready to return. This time I will explore the continent purposefully in great detail. Right now, I'm having a visit with good friends in Ontario, Canada and tomorrow morning I head out for Frankfurt, Germany. My BMW GS800 will be sitting at the airport waiting for me. After de-crating and meticulously packing, I'll be on my way. Down through western Europe, across at Gibraltar, I'll start the Africa part in the colourful country of Morocco.
I plan to end up in Cape Town in about ten months. I hope you'll tune in and follow along as I experience the real Africa between borders.
Best of luck, Garth. An ancient Egyptian blessing:
