The N2 is the “safe” route, but for most of the journey, there’s no median separating opposing traffic. You face the onslaught of erratic oncoming traffic, including drivers passing…

Thank you for visiting my travel blog. I created it to sustain memories and share my adventures as an open-minded solo traveler. Traveling satisfies my curiosity about foreign countries and cultures. Exploring Saigon and Istanbul, watching tango dancers in Buenos Aires, hiking Cape Town's Table Mountain and Torres del Paine in Patagonia, getting lost in New Zealand's south island wilderness, gorilla trekking in Uganda, enjoying Berlin's Festival of Lights, whale watching in South Africa, viewing animals during a Tanzanian game drive, exploring Cambodia's ancient Angkor Wat, or celebrating TET in Hanoi - I share these experiences in my travel blog! When on the road, I post often - not so much between trips. If you like the stories, follow me for regular updates.
