If you're wondering how a 60 year old woman managed to traverse West and Central Africa in a 20 year old 2WD van on her own ... how she managed the loss of her clutch in Nigeria, her views of passing the Sahara desert, camping at dubious hotels, managing the many, many checkpoints and never paying a single bribe ... you can now read all about it ... https://goinghometoafrica.com/index.php/the-book
Alongside my journey I've decided to raise funds for scholarships for girl's education in Zimbabwe, find out more about that here, to contribute to the Scholarship Fund please do so here.
