How to go to Africa
"...it was a beautiful honeymoon..."
How I did it: i decided that on my next trip to europe to see friends, i'd go to africa as a side trip. it was a lot less intimidating and overwhelming, and because i didn't stay that long, i was specific about where i went and what i wanted to do.
Lessons & tips:
- learn some french! most africans speak more french than english and most signs are in french more so than any other western language.
- get specific about where you want to go. africa is a big place - five times the size of the usa - so nail down exactly what you want to do and detail it as much as possible, so when stuff goes wrong, you can anticipate it.
- do your homework. read and research, if you have to, so you can avoid any cultural faux paux and the like, and no one feels disrespected.
