merahki: Sounds exciting! Will be nice if you join the op's team. The more the merrier. Also its more secure to travel in teams. Please always have your passport or id card when you travel. Yes, it is I. I've been to Ethiopia, Rwanda and Kenya but all for business. Didn't get to explore but my hubby did. It gets cold out there from DEC to March. Leggo! All roads lead to october! 1 Like |

wanderlustian: I know this feeling Nothing about Canada makes me lust after it Not the low crime rate, not the extra clean environment, not the high living standard.. nothing I know there is the Niagara which would be a piece o sheer beauty/joy....but the way I imagine Celsuis drops for Canada strips my mind of any desire to go to Canada Then the vastness of the land and the relative sparseness of the population makes me feel agoraphobic I seriously don't know what would make me traipse about/around Canada Brrrr (I say this, from a strictly tourist perspective...not knocking peoples' hustle at all) |

wanderlustian: Me too kinda I actually read it thru your eyes and I see I made the country "sound" somewhat mysterious....like unexplored frontier with natural beauty and development... Not my intention The cold and the low people to land ratio are turn offs But, I am suddenly appreciative of Canada's natural beauty and "exotic-ness" And it is your fault!!! Lol 1 Like |

mrsage: Do I sound male? Have been deemed so before too I am older than you....and I love adventure...well, I love to love adventure is more honest to say...but I am making it part of my life....so yeah....we looove it The tempting possibility of a passionate romance during travels is real to me...and I know that surely with a very young early 30ish guy ...the hankering would be hampered-zilch (with absolutely no disrespect meant) .... But seriously, I will consider the travel It sounds like fun already I jes have to have returned from another one before your take off If not, till the next time Cheers (This post while being a true reflection of my thoughts/fantasies, is not a soliciting one at all...not that anyone cares sha, lol!) 1 Like |

wanderlustian: Guilty! @ female, lol ...thank you for all that I have considered being a writer....in fact, it is my fantasy work...I write in my head, all the time I have been meaning to write all my life, and design clothes, and sell coffee, all true But I became a medico instead....talk about a total aboutface on a dream career I bet you can imagine my ?nostalgia, and the very real pangs of envy and respect I feel towards Mz Adichie...she stole my dream life Like a boss In all fairness, I am somewhat (certainly) very lazy and I love to lounge But, I resolve to sit up more a bit now....thanks to you, and a few others who believe I can write....maybe I can....maybe I will You can write really good, I loved reading your eurotrip thread 1 Like |

guys I been watching this tread for a minute now and finally feel I should participate in this imminent "class adventure" or "impending disaster of an adventure" which either way will be exciting if you're me. I love travelling by road. one time I road tripped through Ireland and took the ferry to Liverpool and hired a car and road tripped through England. Then I took a schengen and traveled through Europe by car. got arrested sometimes, slept in hostels with total strangers, made amazing friends, went to the craziest night life districts, jumped from bridges, the whole shebang. I slept in a Turkish cell haha anyways I have never really been to any other african country besides Niger and Chad so I would really love to be part of this if it's going to happen. no one really mentioned how old they are but am 25. I dont mind how old the team will be as long as we're all legal. don't wanna go back to jail haha and as long as we can all hang and just enjoy the adventure. October sounds like a good time I will be off work then anyways so we'll see how this works out. all in!! 2 Likes |

the farthest i have done so far is Togo. That was last year April. I went straight from Lagos to Cotonou, passed the night there with a friend and then headed for Lome the next day. I must say that the border between Benin Republic and Togo is well organised and smooth. Road is also good. at a point we had to follow a bad portion due to the road construction at a particular location (no sign post so i couldn't get a name). I stayed around Kpalime, Total avenou (don't know if i got it right). Coming back was smooth as i took a cab from Lome to Seme border. I paid 6k CFA and settled border with 600 CFA. took a bike to cross the border for #300. I am planning on doing Cotonou, Lome and Accra soon. Not sure of the time but definitely very soon. Road trips are wonderful. 2 Likes |

I went to relocate to Europe, Denmark precisely, so my travel agent advice me to disvirgin my Nigerian passport. So he advice me to travel from Nigeria to Benin Republic, Togo, and Ghana. So my question is, how much will it take me to embark on this journey, how many days will I spend, how much will I spend on each border to stamp my passport,how do I know real or fake stamp. Pls Nairalanders I need urgent reply. Today is 10th of August 2016,and am to start this journey by 12th of August 2016.thanks and God bless. |

I love this Idea ain't bad at all, October might not really be ideal,but a budget might brighten things up. P.S all these passport disvirgining just doesn't sound right. Please say one hasn't travelled with the passport before,I know its a longer sentence but it sounds healthy and less suggestive. 1 Like |

Hey @ wanderlustian....I have been looking out for your posts on this section...nada .....hope you have not let " life" sap out all your adventurousness Just realised that if you are an addicted Nlander, you probably have the main username that you go by here....in which case, I might be reading, and liking, (or even disliking ) your posts without knowing they are yours. I somehow wish this was the case, and not you switching off from here! . We should all be Addicts ( Adichie on my mind) Saw a thread about Melbourne and thought of you....have you been Down Under? I have not, have my reasons but wont say before you turn my head with your travel sight I just got back from a trip, and have been checking here to see if OP, or anyone is doing the October West Africa loving n rolling About my WA travel? ...it's in the planning stage now, I cannot wait for the implementation stage, and the evaluation stage when I can look back on the trip and bask in the afterbuzz of it all...drooling now. Okay, back from my dreams..cheers, give my regards to your baby, the mini wanderlustian ....and the husband who lets you wander off |

@ OP and everyone on thread...hey...and howdy? Has/is anyone been able to go/on the go/ still planning to go? Updates please I am like a junkie with / about this thread...and trip You all don't wanna know how much/ often I check in here, even the Abidjan and Ghana and any WA thread here.....including the ones just asking for exchange rates During my recent travels I met a Liberian. I am sure he was wondering why I was sucking in all the info I could get out of him about his country. Oh my God he probably thought I was planning to marry him!!! Even after learning he was married!!! I really delved!!! Oh for mortification! (Musing to self)....well, nobody ever comes on here again....might even make it my travel diary...is this even legal on NL? Hijacking somebody's thread to type my rubbish? Especially when one cannot start their own thread, cos, well, because they dunno how to, and are too lazy to learn? Okay, I will stop now |
