Black water fever

MOZAMBIQUE | Monday, 6 Dec 2010 | Views [408] | Comments [1]

I had seen and done many things in Nairobi, neglecting the fact that I wasn't really feeling too well. When I arrived in Nairobi I started feeling unwell, had problems with my stomach and felt feverish many nights. In the beginning I thought it ... Read more >


Karen Blixens trail

KENYA | Monday, 6 Dec 2010 | Views [525]

The time I had in Kenya was amazing. I spent two more days in Mombasa. On the first day I went to Old Town together with my fellow resort crashers. We spent the entire day exploring the narrow streets. It wasn't quite Stonetown/Zanzibar ... Read more >

Mountain of Whiteness

TANZANIA | Saturday, 30 Oct 2010 | Views [1121] | Comments [2]

I am currently staying in probably one of the most magnificent places this planet has got to offer: Mt Kilimanjaro. When I arrived here on Monday the majestic mountain, which I so far only have seen on pictures or in videos, was covered in clouds. I ... Read more >


Island of Spices

TANZANIA | Monday, 18 Oct 2010 | Views [463] | Comments [3]

The last two weeks I have spent on the beautiful island of Zanzibar. The moment I stepped out of the ferry I knew I loved the place. I spent the first couple of days getting lost in Stonetown on purpose. Strolling down narrow and winding streets ... Read more >


Karibu! (You are welcome!)

TANZANIA | Sunday, 3 Oct 2010 | Views [517] | Comments [1]

Karibu (you are welcome). Rafiki (friend). Asante sana (thank you very much). Mambo (what's up). Jambo (hello). Poa! (I'm cool!) My Swahili voacbulary is slowly expanding ever since I entered the swahili-stronghold of Tansania :) But now to what has ... Read more >


The big lake

MALAWI | Monday, 20 Sep 2010 | Views [543] | Comments [4]

This is the first time in the past that I have been able to get into an Internet-cafe that is how off the beaten track I have been on my journey so far. I have already had some incredible experiences and met amazing people that I have been longing to ... Read more >


Phase two: Travelling alone

MOZAMBIQUE | Tuesday, 7 Sep 2010 | Views [476] | Comments [4]

The past 10 days I have been travelling northwards in Mocambique together with my parents. It has been an amazing time! We started off driving a very long stretch all the way from Maputo to Vilanculos, which went pretty smoothly, as there was absolutely ... Read more >


All packed and ready to go!

MOZAMBIQUE | Tuesday, 31 Aug 2010 | Views [401] | Comments [2]

The trip to Ponta do Ouru was amazing. My parents are now officially Open Water I Scuba divers, which is really cool (I am very proud of them!!) :-) The dives at Ponta do Ouru were some of the best I ever had. The reason for this is that I had less trouble ... Read more >

MOZAMBIQUE | Thursday, 26 Aug 2010 | Views [425]

...COMPLETE! The trip to Mocambique went without any problems :-) I had some time in Lisbon and decided to spend the time in the city centre rather than wasting my time in the really uninspirational airport building! What struck me the most  the ... Read more >

Some thoughts before leaving

DENMARK | Monday, 23 Aug 2010 | Views [492] | Comments [1]

I am writing this travel blog because I am pursuing my dream of traveling to East Africa with nothing else than a backpack strapped to my back for the next 5 months. I have decided to do this trip alone, which undoubtedly both has major disadvantages ... Read more >
