Accommodation

In the country side and semi rural areas; we will be in what is best locally, but sometimes it is not very flash!



Food

As we embark on this round-the-world adventure, the culinary delights will be as diverse as the countries we visit. We will provide three meals a day, each offering a unique taste of local cuisine. In bustling cities, we'll savor the finest local specialties, such as Asado and Empanadas in Argentina, or Vegemite Toast and Meat Pies in Australia. In the countryside, we'll enjoy more humble, traditional fare, like Oshithima and Biltong in Namibia, or Poulet Nyembwe and Dongo-Dongo in Gabon. Rest assured, we will do our utmost to make every meal a memorable experience!

From Kebabs and Baklava in Turkey, to Halloumi and Souvla in Cyprus, the variety of flavors will tantalize your taste buds.

What to expect

This is another unique expedition as it is off beaten tracks and to rarely seen places. In some of our destinations there is little tourism, thus you are asked to be understanding in case of disorganisation. Our local fixers are great but they have to work with local conditions which are often far from our western standards. You can expect some amazing scenery.
