No, I Do Not Want To Visit Africa

Updated: Aug 10, 2023

If you’re curious to understand how I’m ‘planning’ to experience Africa, please keep in mind that I do NOT want to ‘visit’ Africa (as explained in my stories earlier today) but to LIVE Africa.

I do NOT want this experience to be a race against time. In my situation (not working anymore), I see time as a frustration, a major barrier, and an absurd data which can drastically skew everything I’m looking for.


The purpose of the whole expedition through Africa is to LIVE it with all my heart, all my imperfections, all my senses, and all my questions. I thus want to live it to the fullest and in the present moment, obviously!


YES, I do refuse to visit Africa but to LIVE it because Africa is so intense, diverse, authentic, pure that ONE AFRICA does not really exist. There are so many Africa on Mama Africa. And only time confirms it.


Africa is where everything has started. Literally EVERYTHING. Never forget this.

You won’t see me roaming countries after countries, consuming landscapes after landscapes, getting drunk with cultures, and adding tones of flag stickers on Rafiki. Nope. Never.

I just want to LIVE Africa the best unplanned way possible.


10 days to go.
