Happy Birthday to me - boo hoo!

Swakopmund Travel Blog › entry 100 of 151 › view trip summary

I'm taking my wanderlust to a new level by shedding everything familiar and safe and hitting the road with a one way ticket and lots of guts. I start in Ireland, with planned stops in E. Europe before arriving in Egypt, then onto Tanzania for a Mt. Kili climb/safari before arriving in Zanzibar. From there, S. Africa, India, SE Asia, Australia/NZ, and eventually S. America. Afterward skidding home on fumes of glory, whereupon I will quickly be couch-surfing until I can land on my feet again.

Happy Birthday to me - boo hoo!

Camping at the beach - one of our many sundowners (Mark is in the middle and WV on the right).
I have returned from the wilds of Namibia after a week of camping in the desert, in caves, and on the beach.  I had the most amazing time and now here I sit, sad, depressed and lonely after having to part ways with the fellas.  Mark, our driver/guide, had to get back to Windhoek and I decided to stay on in Swakop a few more days, so I had to say goodbye to him.  He is the most beautiful person I have ever met, inside and out, and it was so hard to bid him farewell.  This part of traveling really sucks.  My other companion from West Virginia was a young frat boy whom I did not get along with at all. Such a strange mix of company, but I would have tolerated anyone or anything to have had this experience.  I will write about it in more detail perhaps tomorrow, but right now I am trying to find some happiness on my 33rd birthday.
