    Very adventurous! Has anyone here spent much time in Africa? I have
    several friends who have, but only as part of organized tours, not on
    their own.


    Fun fact, I was born there. A small US Army field station called Kagnu
    just outside Asmara.

    https://www.kagnewstation.com/

    and yes, my name appears on the Maternity list on that website.

    WE left when I was just over a year old, so I have no memory of it. I
    ran into a few other military brats over the years that were born there
    as well.

    If you like reading about peoples' bike tours, you probably already know
    about Crazy Guy on a Bike website.

    But just in case you don't
