My first real solo trip was 1983 - roadtrip through France. Then 1990 backpacking in Egypt. Honestly, when I arrived I thought I was crazy. Almost midnight, alone at the airport, no accommodation booked. I survived - and loved it. Now I am just about to leave for another adventure - travelling by public transport through Norway. But my preferred destination is the African bush - I need at least one solo selfdrive safari per year.
