Africa
In March 2025, I'm currently in Tanzania, East Africa. Africa has appealed to me since my younger years.
- As a young boy, my grandmother let me play with hand-made African tribal knives. She had been given the knives by tribal people while she and my grandad lived and worked in Nigeria.
- My British grandparents also lived and worked in Cairo, Egypt. They later worked as Christian missionaries in Nigeria, Africa.
- My mother was born in Cairo, Egypt.
- The mother of my children is South African.
- I have a South African foster brother that lived with us for a period.
- I once woke up in a South African hospital with amnesia. I'd lost £15k cash in fresh £50 bills, as well as my clothes, my dignity, and my marbles. I describe this in my Health Hiccup and the video below.
- To my surprise, I once experienced flashbacks to Ancient Egyptian times.
- I guess Africa is home. We all started in Africa, right?
Born in the UK, as an adult I emigrated with my family to New Zealand. We lived in NZ for around a quarter of my life. I had previously lived in the USA for two years and spent a year in Australia. I'd also spent a few months in Asia. I'm now making Africa home. And what an incredible place it is.

I've not researched it yet, but some say Africa is 14x larger than shown on modern day maps (GeoViz Plus, and Tales of Africa).
