About this blog

Many people often ask me, "hey whats Africa like" and I just have to turn to them and say, "brother I have not been to Africa". Therefore, the only true option was to go to Africa and this is the story of a seemingly ridiculous yet highly chalenging journey.

A few essential pieces of information. We are going on crappy bikes and are taking little luggage. We are sleeping in fields and eating pretty basic food. However, our plan is to see as many different things and meet as many different people as possible.

The team consists of me (Chris), Alex (Milkedy Milk Milk White Hair), and Olly (Briefcase).
