My favourite saying:
»Flying is still better than working.«

For me Africa is a long-held dream, after all the continent is considered the cradle of humankind. To date, I have only been to North Africa: the Sahara, Algeria and Morocco. Therefore, I'm really looking forward to seeing the countries we'll be flying to, especially the people we'll be meeting. Anticipating the different cultures and ways of life we'll be encountering is something I really look forward to. And seeing the simple way of life and poverty that people live under will definitely help me to get a sense of perspective about my own (extremely privileged) situation.
