First of all I'm just impressed by how adventurous people like you are. I feel like totally bound to a sense of "places I think I can safely be" and I don't think I could travel with just wads of cash stashed in my pocket (Which is what I'm assuming you do for finances???)

I'm currently studying in South Africa and we constantly hear horror stories of the crime here (leave alone wild animals, wars/militants factions, and diseases in other parts of Africa). How did you manage accommodations plus food in parts of the world like South Africa, Somalia, Central Africa Republic for so cheap and safely for $15 a day? Did you camp most places? And if so isn't illegal to camp just anywhere? How much trouble did you get in with Law Enforcement?

Sorry for the text block just very interested and had so many questions.

P.S. what is a packraft?

So if you go into a "bush" per say, what do you do about your food/shower accommodations? Also if you're not following any map then what if you get lost? What about unexpected weather? How do you prepare for storms/cold without internet? Finally, do you have like a deadline, like as in you book your flights out of a country in advance, or do you just purchase one whenever you feel like leaving?

Sorry again for bombarding with questions I'm just so fascinated. I wish I wasn't so tied up in my own comfort zone. I wish I could be a little more free spirited and brave enough to just go and face whatever comes. huhhhhhh I feel like that would be good for me sometimes, just to trust more in myself.

How do you plan your routes? Do you just buy sim cards for whatever country your in and just plan on the internet?
