9 months already I’m looking to meet / connect with solo overlanders roaming across Africa -Eastern Africa especially.
…and I virtually connected with Lilli on Facebook months ago. I was already fascinated by this strong and determined woman traveling solo across Africa in her unique -and so orange!- Land Cruiser (my dream 4x4!).
We thus follow each other with a close attention and -obvious- common passions and lifestyle.
Eventually Lilli wrote me a few weeks ago letting me know she was planning to leave Uganda to enter Tanzania anytime soon. I was still roaming in Rwanda at that time, but on my way to Uganda. Let’s meet halfway then!
And surely we did. We had the greatest few days together. We don’t have the same age but we are on the same page. Very much. We talked for hours, about everything: overlanding, Africa, love; life.
She is humble and that’s what seduced me first. Not easy to find authentic, humble, and passionate people, even amongst travellers.
I didn’t want these moments to stop. I didn’t want Lilli to leave. I felt very selfish to feel this way but I enjoyed her company from the bottom of my heart. It’s so damn good to finally relate to someone, and to someone with such a life experience.
@lillitogo you became my African big sister. I know our paths will cross again, I feel it deep inside. And feelings never lie. Tanzania, Kenya, or elsewhere.
