The Pilot Who Explores
Before embarking on our absolutely epic 2-week adventure by car across Madagascar, we had a lot of questions. Most of the information we could find online was quite outdated or missing crucial details. But we ended up learning so much in just two weeks, things we wish we had known before going. Many aspects of […]
Madagascar: one of the most special countries we have ever visited, one we’d been dreaming of seeing ever since we were kids.

Although traveling to Djibouti wasn’t my favorite experience, it does offer tremendous opportunity to those willing to try it out. Djibouti, Djibouti is the city so nice they named it twice. But to be frank, the city has little to see. It’s what you do from the city that allows you to really see Djibouti […]
