My Africa

There are different reactions when people hear about my Africa.

When there was still a chance that we would go together with Chopin, my good friend Basia Meder who also traveled around this continent on her own, told me:

“What you are living is amazing and unique. You have a similar attitude to me but a larger luggage of dreams. I wish and hope you can realize it all.”

When it turned out, however, that I’m setting off on my own, she added:

“You are very brave to go on your own. I have fears about your lonely African journey. I can’t see much of hitchhiking opportunities. Africa is also more expensive than Asia. I don’t want to discourage you but to make you aware. I am ready to give you all the information you want. Ask if you need anything.”

But my friend Asia from Holland has no fear:

“I’m not worried about you because how could I be worried if you’re going to the continent where giraffes live… I know that their long necks will point you to the right direction in the moments of doubt, elephants will give you strength, monkeys will lend you quick wits, palm trees will share the food and the wind will be a messenger of good news, the sun will be warming your heart and the camels will help you with any distance, no I have absolutely no reasons to worry about you.”

Thank you Basia! Thank you Asia! Thank you all – friends and strangers, those who worry about me and those who don’t – thank you to all those whose positive thoughts are with me. This is important.
