VERY COOL! So many questions:
Do you work on the road or take off years at a time?
Are you armed, or do you just avoid central conflict areas?
I take it no family? (hence the 'solo' bit) or are they undersganding?
- grecy 7y ago> Do you work on the road or take off years at a time? For the first one (AK->Argentina) I just took time off and lived off my savings account. For around Africa I wrote my first book and I write for multiple magazines while on the road. > Are you armed, or do you just avoid central conflict areas? Crossing an international border with a firearm will result in instant jail time in virtually every country on the planet. No, it would be impossible to bring a firearm. You might be surprsed to know I have never heard a single gunshot in three years around the continent, and Ethiopia was the only country I ever saw regular people with firearms. In every other country it's only the police/military, who are extremely professional. > I take it no family? (hence the 'solo' bit) or are they undersganding? No kids or wife. I did have a girlfriend with me for some of the Africa Expedition - living in the Jeep proved too much for our relationship. If you do have a family, don't let that stop you, I've met plenty of people on the road with families, ie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc61AxCQQR4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc61AxCQQR4
- iheartpotatoes 7y agoI just bought your book and am excited to read it. I've fantasized about doing exactly this, but in South America. Twice I almost did it, and twice I backed out because I didn't know how to start. You might get me over the third hump!
