Learn how to explore and experience Africa and have a safe adventure crossing borders & backpacking Africa
This is a course for everyone who wants to travel Africa, but is struggling with the how-do-I-actually-do-it-part? You know you want to travel Africa, but figuring out how to cross borders, plan your route, time seasons, and stay safe is confusing to figure out.
If you have ever dreamed of traveling Africa, whether you're originally from here, traveled here once and can't get it out of your head, or have always felt like Africa is calling your name, there is a reason you feel like you need to see Africa. You need to go.
This is a super practical step-by-step course to help you plan your trip to Africa with 28 daily videos and actions sheets to plan your route, itinerary, learn how to cross borders, understand how much money I spent and create your own travel budget, how to stay safe, and more.
If you've already spent time Googling, you know that planning a trip to Africa is so confusing! My goal is to walk you through the exact process I did when preparing for my 7 month, solo, adventure across the entire length of the continent. After finishing the Cape to Cairo route, I relocated to Ethiopia and have been helping travelers backpack Africa ever since.
This course will help you:
Save money, plan your budget, and even make money along the way
Prevent malaria, stay super healthy, and avoid all thing things that make travelers get sick
Stay safe, know which borders you can cross and which you shouldn't, and avoid the most dangerous part of traveling Africa
Experience life the way it's supposed to be lived by connecting authentically to the beautiful and diverse people, cultures, and landscapes in Africa
Be a conscious traveler who makes a positive impact while traveling
You'll hear real travel stories about:
The traveler I know who died from malaria and how you can prevent this
How I found free places to stay with trusted locals
The 2 things you HAVE to pack when going to Africa
How I was invited to a local politician's house in Sudan
How I had to sell half my stuff in a local market
The time I was robbed at knifepoint, and how the Ethiopian Prime Minister got involved
All the stories of super kind locals who helped me with everything during my trip!
It's also packed with extra resources including

I was so scared before my trip to Africa. I had such a hard time planning my trip and made so many mistakes. But traveling through 13 African countries became the biggest and best adventure of my life. I had incredible adventures like trekking gorillas, rafting the Nile, and feeding a hyena raw meat out of my mouth.
But my trip was also full of meeting real Masai warriors, visiting local markets, hanging out with other travelers, and meeting some of the kindest, most generous, heart-warming locals.
Traveling Africa changed my life. It made me a person who is brave enough to always follow my heart. You could now drop me in the middle of the Sahara desert and I know I could figure my way out. It gave me the craziest adventures that I'll tell my grandkids about someday. It saved me from living a boring, mediocre life. It showed me that Africa has a lot to teach the world. It showed me that I need Africa more than African needs me.
If you want to experience something totally different, have an incredible adventure, really dig deep into all the beautiful cultures, land, and people throughout the continent, then you will love traveling Africa. I promise you that it is safe enough to travel on your own, even as a female alone, and that you can do it.
I hope you join me in Africa! :)
