Welcome to the category of blog posts about traveling in the continent of Africa.

A brief history of my travels there:

• Morocco: visited in 2012 (I think) for a few days with a girlfriend. I didn’t know about hitchhiking back then so I still have to return one day! Edit: I did in 2024–2025 and it was a much better trip!
• Tunisia: visited in 2018 for one week when I had one week of vacation from university. I loved Tunisia and I’m eager to travel back. I hitchhiked once with some great people from Hammamet back to Tunis, with Jonas. Not a lot of time spent, I know, but I had to be back in class the following Monday
• Cabo Verde: visited in 2019 for 88 days with Jonas after graduating from university. Great times! I hitchhiked a bunch of times on different islands. All distances are very short because the islands are so small. I visited Sal, São Nicolau, São Vicente, Santo Antão, Fogo, Brava, and Santiago. I’d love to go back and visit Maio and Boa Vista
• Mauritius, Madagascar, and Ethiopia: between 2021 and 2023. Jonas and I were in Mauritius for almost a year on the premium visa
• Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Senegal, The Gambia, Senegal (again), and Guinea-Bissau in 2024–2025, all overland until our flight back to Casablanca. I had a wonderful time, but it’s also rough out there. My previous travel experiences in Africa helped a lot to manage expectations and energy levels
