About me
Travelled widely in Southern Africa – some in East Africa. In ‘yoof’ did obligatory trip in an old exArmy 3 ton truk from London to Nairobi. I had a LR Disco based in Zambia but, hoped to break my addiction to Africa and restart travelling more widely. I did travel in Asia on a couple of occasions but have now been drawn back to Africa again !Recent activity
