I didn't do very well when I was at school, so my dad gave me the opportunity to travel in Africa. I drove from London to Nairobi. It was incredible.

I spent about a year traveling overland from Egypt through Sudan and Ethiopia, and eventually into East Africa.

I've been to North Africa many times.

I did go on safari in Kenya when I was 17, with my mother, stepfather and little brother, and I kept a careful journal of the experience that was very helpful in terms of my sensory impressions of Africa. I have traveled quite a bit at distinct times in my life, though now that I have kids I've settled down.

I always traveled. I left Cameroon when I was 11 years old. I lived in the USA, in Switzerland.

I've spent quite a bit of time in East Africa.

I went on safari in South Africa just after apartheid had ended.

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.

I've done a reasonable amount of travelling, which I enjoyed, but not for too long at a time.

Going to Africa was being able to take my volunteering and my passion for hospice one step further.
