I've been to North Africa many times.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've spent quite a bit of time in East Africa.
Africa is probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.
I grew up in different parts of Africa. I grew up in Mozambique and places like that. I've been in South Africa many times.
I really fell in love with Africa.
What I generally get from being in Africa is a sense of warmth and openness. As a stranger, you are always welcomed into people's homes and people are always offering you food. That generosity is incredibly touching.
As a kid, I always felt connected to Africa; it was something I was very proud of.
Africa is not a fun place, you know. A fun place is somewhere that lifts the spirits, that cossets the senses. I don't think that can be said of the Africa I traveled in.
I go back to Africa every year. I have a home there. You know, my grandfather lives back there in Cameroon.
Despite the fact that I spend a lot of time in London, Switzerland and New York, Africa is the place I know and love best, and my heart will always lie here.
The idea of traveling in Africa for me is based on going by road or train or bus or whatever and crossing borders. You can't travel easily or at all through some countries.
