Bomb blasts rock Kenya causing hundreds of tourists to flee

A major threat to the tourism industry of ANY country is terrorism...... because as much as we love adventures, we try as much as possible to stay away from imminent danger.
 
Yesterday, hundreds of British tourists were evacuated from Kenya, while others fled to their countries last night as the capital Nairobi was rocked by bombings.






The man who drives from West Africa to Europe

I think I just heard you say "what????".......  well yes he does. Who is this man you ask? He is one of my tour guiding mentors....... Godfried *sic* Peter Agbezudor; the founder of Continent Explorer tour company  and an adventurer to the core.
How does he drive to Europe from West Africa then?
He basically just takes out his maps, charts his routes, evaluates the countries he has to pass through to get there, checks out the immigration requirements and get the visas where necessary, pack up his camping stuffs and off he goes and for the thrill of adventures, he charts a different route every time he takes trips either with tourists or friends.



     
However, he doesn't go around with the modern vehicles you find in auto marts these days. Every single one of his vehicles are the old model jeeps with very powerful tires and real metal body..... *almost like a war ship* lol, seeing he has to drive through deserts, water, national parks, and the likes.
BTW, he ain't no super human as some of you may already think hehe. He does encounter a number of challenges on the way, but that's all considered to be a part of the experiences of adventurers.....

He was born in Ghana, son of a Christian mother and a Voodoo priest father.  He possesses close to thirty years of experience as a tour guide and has worked with soooooooo many tourists from every corner of the globe. He is fluent (and by fluent, I don't mean just the basics) in nine local West African and five foreign languages (Spanish, Italian, French, German, and Mandarin). He is mostly interested in cultural and wild life tourism as he interpret and explain traditional beliefs, rituals, ceremonies, and also a good tour guide for wild life documentaries. He is as dedicated as the sun to the earth....lol.

 P.S: Things you must bring along for an adventure
* Money!!!! lots of it!! or at least a source (like a master or visa card). Have this, and every other need you have as you go along can be met :-)
*Water bottle *Towels * torch lights and batteries *soaps *power pack or inverter *buy maps or have an atlas *snacks etc.

That's it for now guys...... I hope you enjoyed reading. Please feel free to share your adventurer experiences in the comments section.

Now let the fun begin *happy face*

Yaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy!!!
Today the 16th day of May 2014, I try my hands out on blogging for the first time. Though at some point I did feel like giving up; it all seemed so challenging. Somehow, the love for giving my all into whatever I do was my background "cheer leader" lol and the need to provide YOU my first readers ;-) with something worth your click kept me from backing out within the first five minutes.....hehe.


I won't bore you with mushy details of how and where the idea to start up a blog was crafted in my subconscious somewhere in a faraway land.....but this I'll say for now;
Welcome aboard lovelies as we begin a merry journey through the world of adventurous minds on earth.
Thank you so much for stopping by *hugs*
