THE FORGOTTEN LAND


Only a few days ago, I drove a tour through Zimbabwe- the land that everybody is terrified to even talk about. We spent a total of four nights and five days in what I believe to still be the most beautiful and friendly country in Southern Africa. Even with all of the political and socio-economic drama that has hit the country over the last decade, the people of Zimbabwe are still the most welcoming and well mannered of all of the African people that I have met to date.

Now why has the country been able to get this bad? Is it because the people of Zimbabwe don't want another war or is it the fact that the people of Zim are of such humbled nature that they don't mind waiting through the struggle... all I know is that there is a time bomb waiting to explode!! The hardest thing is being able to do nothing about it - no way of helping those people - no way of being able to bring some joy to their lives.

We all need to remember what we take for granted in our day to day lives and try and reflect this in how we live our every moment.
REMEMBER......WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY 7 TRILLION FOR A LOAF OF BREAD!!

African Story


Africa.... The hot dry and seemingly wild part of this planet is the proud owner of my office. Well the big green truck to be more precise. Through Drifters adventours I travel all over Southern Africa exploring and showing some crazy tourists just how we do it over here. Hard rough and tough, the harder and rougher the better just to make sure that everybody gets their moneys worth.
This is the first entry so be sure to keep up with me as I show you the real deal of africa- ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU DONT SEE ON NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC!!!
