Staying at a Presbyterian church for a week while waiting for our visas might sound like the safest and most boring part of our trip through West Africa, but in fact it was some of the most crazy days. From the days before one girl had caught a worm in her foot, one guy had...Read More
What I think are the most pretty African cities, are the ones where colonial buildings are still present, perhaps by some river or in another natural setting or just a city where people seem to have slowed down and enjoy their lives. Douala was none of those things. It was just a massive, busy business...Read More
Kribi is on the South West coast of Cameron and is a popular stop for people travelog through the country. Not only does it have Cameroons best beaches, but it also boasts of having Africa’s Only waterfall that runs straight into the ocean. We stayed at Tara plage, right on the beach and could walk...Read More
The road on the border between Nigeria and Cameroon were by far the worst roads we had encountered on our trip. Some places there was a meter of water, there were potholes everywhere and one place there were tens of trucks and cars waiting to pass stretches of muddy roads where people had been getting...Read More

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic...Read More
