| Kigali, Rwanda |
My desire to travel to Africa started almost as soon as I moved to Europe. 2012 August. The Erasmus Students Network (ESN) planned a trip to Morocco. It was a cheap flight to Barcelona and then onward to Morocco in a cheap ferry. I really wanted to join that trip. Unfortunately, I could not join that trip as that group trip was for anyone who did not need a visa for Morocco. 12 years passed by and I visited every continent except for Africa and Antarctica. Of course, Antarctica is not even permanently inhabited. I visited Australia in 2024 August. Since then, countries of the African continent dominated my top-20 bucket list - with Sierra Leone and Kenya in top 2 spot.
Eventually, this month, I visited Kigali, Rwanda. Rwanda was my 51st country. Kigali is a very safe city. A solo trip. But with many friends I made there, it felt home. Now, finally I have also visited Africa, and Antarctica is the only continent that I am yet to visit.
