”I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke up that I was not happy.”

– Ernest Hemingway

It’s now a little less than a month until I start my great African adventure. I’m going on a 77-day overlanding trip with Absolute Africa that starts from Nairobi and ends in Cape Town. I will be traveling through ten countries in a converted truck with a group of people, of whom at the moment I know nothing about. Not even how many there will be!

In the next few weeks I’ll try to write a few posts about preparing for the trip, including packing, budgeting and other preparations. Both as a reminder to myself and as a way to make it real for myself – I’m actually going now, after dreaming about this for years!

I’ll only be shooting animals with my camera, unlike Mr Hemingway. It’s time for Africa!

Finnish girl currently living in Finland after nearly five years living in my favourite place in the world, London. Unfortunately living in London meant I couldn’t afford my favourite thing to do, traveling, which is why I returned to my native country. Now I can travel again.

I wanted to write a blog about my trip to Africa mainly as a journal to myself, something that I can look back in the years to come. However, if anyone else reads this, I’m very happy to share my dream adventure!
