Reflections

The last page of a couple of my past travel blogs have started with “This is the hardest part to write….”, and again that same first sentence fills my thoughts. However this time it is for a completely different reason. It is because I have to write down something that I fear might be true. And it is this. No matter where I travel, no matter what I see and what I do, I don’t know how to top my recent travels. But I now know that I am a scatterling of Africa, and I will continue to explore, continue to grow, and continue on the road to Phelamanga.

So rather than sum everything up by recapping the countless amazing experiences of this trip, the many lessons learned, the life changing memories I am walking away with, and all the people who changed my path, maybe it is just better if I end with….

Thank you for letting me share this journey, and I hope that you too one day have the opportunity to free yourself and see the world. But when you go, please don’t just take the guided tour, staying in five star hotels and dining in fancy restaurants, but get out, explore, and even get lost. And then communicate with the people, learn from them, and share your knowledge. So that whatever path you are on, wherever your final destination lies, that when you get there, you will have no regrets. I’m Christopher Phynn, thank you, and good night.
