Paradise in Zanzibar! But first I had to spend 1 night in Dar es Salaam, and it was the first city I disliked that much... It is dirty, crowded, and most importantly very unsafe. Everyone tells you to trust no one and to leave all your valuables at the reception, as they are not even safe in your own single room. Furthermore you are given a map where half of the streets are marked as 'unsafe, do not go here!'. And when you do dare to walk around in town, each an...

Hi! Only 15 more days left, and I am starting to feel reluctant to go back! First, as promised my stories of Vilankulos: I arrived with the Swedish girl on Saturday last week, reuniting with the other 2 Swedish girls who left earlier. The travelling was challenging again, as it included 2 minibuses and even a small boat for 0.30 eurocent to cross the lake.

Hi all! Wauw, it has been a real game changer the past 10 days, in many ways!

My last blog from South Africa! (or at least for the time being ;) ) And yet another week has flown by.

Spending 17 days with someone so close during 100 days of travelling by yourself has been unbelievably nice, and I am very ...

Hi everyone! Short update, since I will be logged out from this computer after 30 more minutes haha. Internet has obviously become more complicated the further I move away from South Africa! The birthday of my mum was more tough than expected, but I received so many sweet messages from all over the world, that it also turned out to be a special day. After Durban I traveled to the Drakensberg for a music festival of a few days, and my couchsurf host set me up...
