This logistically, is challenging. I\u2019m not sure how we got from an idea, which was frankly<br \/>\njust another one of my big plans, to it actually becoming real. We really are driving from Cairo to<br \/>\nCape?! I\u2019m the big thinker\u2026 Maybe not always totally based in reality\u2026 To this Tristan offers the voice<br \/>\nof reason, reality and unending patience to my dream spouting verbal waffling.<\/p>\n<p>I have this huge need to see it all for real with my own two eyes, to understand what it\u2019s like to live a<br \/>\nbasic life in a VERY confined space with someone else for FOUR months. Too, be a part of a challenge<br \/>\nwhere you are brought head to head with what you find most uncomfortable, and yet perhaps most<br \/>\ncomfortable. What would happen if I actually want to live in a tent in the bush? Or just live in<br \/>\nEthiopia\u2026? The latter is a high possibility, the former not so much.<\/p>\n<p>The next fascination to contend with is the option of how we can live our lives. Some live in big houses<br \/>\nin the country, others live in tiny flats in the city. Perhaps you live a nomadic life, never resting in one<br \/>\nplace for too long; this may be out of habit for many, and it brings a new challenge. Then for some it is<br \/>\nnot a question, it is a necessity to move on to find food. Big people and little people (children) intrigue<br \/>\nme; I guess that is why I became a Montessori teacher and then recently a Yoga teacher. How did you<br \/>\ncome to choose your job, or did it choose you? Why are you in your current situation, do you have an<br \/>\noption? Maybe not.<\/p>\n<p>I guess right now I am about to become Nomadic, my reason is to try and take in as much as possible<br \/>\nwhilst considering all the above questions. To see how people have shaped their lives, whilst taking into<br \/>\naccount their passions and challenges. Our individuality as humans has created numerous incredible<br \/>\nprojects and communities that are all different. This journey gives me a unique experience to get a snap<br \/>\nshot, with my own two eyes, of all these different options and perhaps I will be able to have a better<br \/>\nunderstanding as to why.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nWebsite:\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/lindikhaya.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.lindikhaya.com<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nTwitter:\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/lindikhayafrica\" target=\"_blank\">@lindikhayafrica<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nFacebook:\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/lindikhayafrica\" target=\"_blank\">www.facebook.com\/lindikhaya<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nVirgin Money Giving:\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/uk.virginmoneygiving.com\/fundraiser-web\/fundraiser\/showFundraiserProfilePage.action?userUrl=lindikhaya\" target=\"_blank\">uk.virginmoneygiving.com\/lindikhaya<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ididgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/tusk.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6820 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ididgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/tusk.png\" alt=\"tusk\" width=\"289\" height=\"133\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ididgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/AMI.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" height=\"120\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6819\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ididgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/AMI.png\" alt=\"AMI\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Whilst one half of this drive writes from the Northern Hemisphere, the other half will begin writing from the Southern.
