Everyday Black History: Educational Guide to Incorporating Black History into your Homeschool Year-round

February is Black History Month and I would love to encourage all educators, parents and adults in general to incorporate these best practices into their daily lives throughout the year. My definition of educator is very broad. If you have a sphere of influence to speak into the lives of future generations, then you’re an educator as far as I’m concerned. I believe in intentional education and thus we should never limit an entire group’s history and contributions to 28 days.

- Be intentional in your read alouds, independent reading and book list choices. Make sure that you incorporate books that provide a well rounded perspective on history, literature, geography, language arts and even math. 

- Diversify your homeschool social media feed. Connect with, read works by and learn best practices from other homeschooling parents and educators of colors.

1. Follow My Reflections Matter and incorporate their diverse resources to your educational plans.

2. Check out Negra Bohemian a self described:  a free spirit redefining motherhood through a socially conscious, faith-led and wandering lifestyle.

3. Check out Trippin’ Momma to be inspired by a single mother who’s recovered from domestic violence and is exploring the world on her own terms.

4. Follow Dr. Kira Bank and her work on Raising Equity.

5. Follow my friend Sarah’s adventures in her blog and be inspired to take adventurous trips with your kids to destinations like Dubai, Hong Kong and Kenya.

6. Follow The Spring Break Family and be encouraged to take adventures with our kids even if they’re not homeschooled.

7. Check out Our Kitchen Classroom and learn how to connect food with culture - travel.

If your a Christian, read this: No Days Off...

“This February, lay down the burden of ambassadorship and let Black History Month be your swimming lessons. May it be a reminder that each stroke forward transforms our weaknesses into strengths, powerlessness into purpose. We’re not treading water. Kingdom ambassadors make new wave moves. Look back and see how God is moving us forward.”

Let America Be America Again

Langston Hughes, 1902 - 1967

Let America be America again. Let it be the dream it used to be. Let it be the pioneer on the plain Seeking a home where he himself is free. (America never was America to me.) Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed— Let it be that great strong land of love Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme That any man be crushed by one above. (It never was America to me.) O, let my land be a land where Liberty Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath, But opportunity is real, and life is free, Equality is in the air we breathe. (There’s never been equality for me, Nor freedom in this “homeland of the free.”) Say, who are you that mumbles in the dark? And who are you that draws your veil across the stars? I am the poor white, fooled and pushed apart, I am the Negro bearing slavery’s scars. I am the red man driven from the land, I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek— And finding only the same old stupid plan Of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak. I am the young man, full of strength and hope, Tangled in that ancient endless chain Of profit, power, gain, of grab the land! Of grab the gold! Of grab the ways of satisfying need! Of work the men! Of take the pay! Of owning everything for one’s own greed! I am the farmer, bondsman to the soil. I am the worker sold to the machine. I am the Negro, servant to you all. I am the people, humble, hungry, mean— Hungry yet today despite the dream. Beaten yet today—O, Pioneers! I am the man who never got ahead, The poorest worker bartered through the years. Yet I’m the one who dreamt our basic dream In the Old World while still a serf of kings, Who dreamt a dream so strong, so brave, so true, That even yet its mighty daring sings In every brick and stone, in every furrow turned That’s made America the land it has become. O, I’m the man who sailed those early seas In search of what I meant to be my home— For I’m the one who left dark Ireland’s shore, And Poland’s plain, and England’s grassy lea, And torn from Black Africa’s strand I came To build a “homeland of the free.” The free? Who said the free?  Not me? Surely not me?  The millions on relief today? The millions shot down when we strike? The millions who have nothing for our pay? For all the dreams we’ve dreamed And all the songs we’ve sung And all the hopes we’ve held And all the flags we’ve hung, The millions who have nothing for our pay— Except the dream that’s almost dead today. O, let America be America again— The land that never has been yet— And yet must be—the land where every man is free. The land that’s mine—the poor man’s, Indian’s, Negro’s, ME— Who made America, Whose sweat and blood, whose faith and pain, Whose hand at the foundry, whose plow in the rain, Must bring back our mighty dream again. Sure, call me any ugly name you choose— The steel of freedom does not stain. From those who live like leeches on the people’s lives, We must take back our land again, America! O, yes, I say it plain, America never was America to me, And yet I swear this oath— America will be! Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death, The rape and rot of graft, and stealth, and lies, We, the people, must redeem The land, the mines, the plants, the rivers. The mountains and the endless plain— All, all the stretch of these great green states— And make America again!

Still I Rise

Maya Angelou, 1928 - 2014

You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I’ll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? ‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I’ll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops, Weakened by my soulful cries? Does my haughtiness offend you? Don’t you take it awful hard ‘Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines Diggin’ in my own backyard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I’ll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I’ve got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history’s shame I rise Up from a past that’s rooted in pain I rise I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise.

Lift Every Voice and Sing

James Weldon Johnson, 1871 - 1938

Lift every voice and sing, Till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; Let our rejoicing rise High as the list’ning skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Let us march on till victory is won. Stony the road we trod, Bitter the chast’ning rod, Felt in the days when hope unborn had died; Yet with a steady beat, Have not our weary feet Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered. We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, Out from the gloomy past, Till now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way; Thou who hast by Thy might, Led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee, Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee; Shadowed beneath Thy hand, May we forever stand, True to our God, True to our native land.

Dreams

Langston Hughes, 1902 - 1967

Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow.

The Best of Macedonia

Laila and I woke up extra early on our second day in Skopje to make the most of the day and try to see the two big sights in the same day: Millennium Cross and Matka Canyon. Usually it’s not recommended to do both excursions on the same day because the timetables for buses are unknown and unreliable, traffic can be heavy, cable cars are not always running, there can be queues etc. We ate our pancakes for breakfast that our friend Billy from the hostel had woken up early to make for everyone and then headed to the bus stop. We had to wait almost 20 minutes for our bus number 25 up to the Millennium Cross. On the the way we saw some guys driving around with a truck full of Macedonian flags and a long pole, we were very entertained watching them place them onto each flag pole down the main street (and now in hindsight of course we should’ve known that it was a public holiday tomorrow!). The traffic was heavy too, especially around a medical school where everyone was running in their lab coat to the bakery to buy a toastie and then going back to campus. There was an ambulance flashing its lights in vain. Luckily the cable car was quick and easy to take us to the viewing platform of the Millennium Cross. We wandered around the top taking different photos of the cross, ourselves, each other and the mountainous scenery all around. It was quite amazing to see the cross up close as it is the largest cross in the world, at around 37m high it’s a little more than double the height of Christ the Redeemer in Brazil. When we were ready to go down we realised the cable cars had been stopped for 30 minutes now to allow them to cool down. We took the first one back down when they restarted and hurried to the bus which was parked where we’d got off so we thought maybe it was due to depart soon. A little boy of about 10 years was hanging around and he tried to speak to us but he could only speak Macedonian. He tried to say a few things in English and German but he didn’t understand us when we would answer him. It was a difficult 20 minutes trying to converse with him while we waited for the bus but eventually it departed with us on the top deck front row! With all the delays we were now stressing about catching the bus to Matka Canyon. If it was on time like the schedule we’d seen online then it was really down to the wire as we ran from the bus stop to the stop for bus 60 to the canyon. Sitting under the placard for bus 60 were the exact two German girls I’d had sitting in front of me on my bus from Sofia to Skopje. They also recognized me and it wasn’t strange at all to just strike up a conversation. They had been waiting for the bus for 10-15 minutes and it hadn’t come yet so we were sure everything would be fine. But when we tried to board our ticket cards wouldn’t work, so luckily the driver just let us ride for free because he was already late. I ended up riding there and back for free, Macedonians are very kind to tourists! The Matka Canyon was also very beautiful and tranquil, not crowded at all. We didn’t have the time left to do a boat ride into the caves or kayaking but we were happy to at least experience the views of the canyon before we needed to head back to the bus station so that Laila could take her onward bus to Sofia. We grabbed a quick bite to eat in the old bazaar and I dropped her off at the station just in time, then I walked into an eastern neighbourhood to the La Strega espresso bar as it came up consistently as the best option for coffee in Skopje. I ordered a flat white and the guys inside were so welcoming and friendly that I stayed for a while to chat with them and watch the film they had playing about the coffee bean harvest in Kenya. The following day I was a little lazy and got up late, then took it easy walking around in the city, having a Turkish coffee, walking some more, having a beer. It was a national holiday so a lot of the shops were closed and I found myself wishing I’d booked an earlier bus to Kotor but I waited around until the 9pm bus and let it drive me through three border crossings and into Montenegro.

Smart buses to make traveling easier for Lahoris

An Egyptian bus-hailing service named Swvl has launched in Lahore, which provides affordable and comfortable buses for daily commute. It is similar to the coaches and buses which run in the city, but instead of a first-come-first-serve system, the booking has to be made online. The company currently has a fleet of air-conditioned 13-seater Hiaces and 21-seater buses. It has hired both full-time and part-time drivers who are paid on a per-ride basis. The rates are charged according to the distance, starting from Rs50 for a 25km ride. There’s no surge pricing which means that the rates are fixed and don’t change in rush hours. The payment option is cash, but an online payment option will be introduced soon too. Swvl was founded by three young Egyptian entrepreneurs: Mostafa Kandil, the CEO, Mahmoud Nouh, the COO and Ahmed Sabbah, the CTO. “Our target market consists of young individuals who value comfort and reliability while being financially prudent,” General Manager Shahzeb Memon told SAMAA Digital. “These boys and girls are always on the go and want a new-age, efficient mode of travel,” he said. Memon explained that the service is not just targeting previous ride-hailing users but creating options for a large chunk of the Pakistani population who could previously not afford to use ride-hailing services. When asked how Swvl aims to make its place in the market, Memon said, “We offer a transport service at a price cheaper than rickshaws, cars, taxis or other ride-hailing services”. How can you book a ride? The process is simple. All you have to do is download the app from Google Play Store or Apple’s App Store. You can explore the existing routes or enter your pickup and drop-off locations. The app shows the estimated walking time to the pickup station, where the bus will pick you at a designated time. The bus will drop you off at your selected drop-off station after which you have to walk towards your final destination point. A live tracking option is available, through which you can see the location of the booked vehicle and reach your chosen pickup point on time. Swvl operates at the following routes in Lahore: Askari 11 – DHA – Main Blvd – China Chowk Askari 11 – DHA – Bahria Town PKLI DHA Phase 6 – Ferozepur Road DHA Phase 6- Johar Town- Valencia Shad Bagh – GT Road – Shalimar Link Road- Ferozpur Road Wapda Town- Faisal Town- Gulberg- Jail Road Jallo- Mughalpura Underpass- Mall Road Underpass – Thokar Niaz Baig Shalimar Link Road – Canal Road – Multan Road – Bahria Town They plan to have a presence across Lahore with curated travel options for their customers. The service will expand to Karachi by the end of the year. The company aims to offer quality customer service and maximum number of routes. As they have already made their mark in Kenya and Egypt, they believe their expansion to Pakistan would be a success. “Our reputation across Egypt and Kenya speaks volumes about how we have become an integral part of the daily lives of people,” Memon remarked. He believes that Swvl’s strength lies in the technology platform and localized consumer service and experiences. Read the full article

1. Can I Backpack Africa? Is Traveling Africa Possible?

Yes! Definitely! I backpacked Africa for 7 months. It was my first time backpacking ever! (So much for starting small

). I did it using public transportation only.

2. I’m Freaking Out About Backpacking Africa! I’ve traveled other places, but backpacking Africa still makes me nervous.

I totally get this! I was terrified before my trip. Literally, I cried in the fetal position in the German airport during my layover. (So embarrassing, I know.

)

Coming to Africa is scary. But actually being in Africa & traveling isn’t that scary. It’s our off-based perceptions, our friends and family’s good-intentioned but misguided beliefs, and the “what if……” game that is causing all the anxiety.

Over 64 million travelers visited Africa last year. If they can do it, so can you. Keep reading below to get more safety tips, advice for solo travelers, and how-to info which will hopefully calm your nerves down. And remember, “Life begins outside your comfort zone.”

This is a Japanese guy I met in Zimbabwe. He was traveling the whole continent by bike. He barely spoke English, but was still managing to travel & have a great time.

3. How Do I Get Around? Can I rent a Car? Is there Public Transport?

My grandma literally thought I was going to walk around Africa, aimlessly, with lions trying to eat me at any moment. I laughed. But then I came to Africa, and met people who were indeed, using walking as their mode of transport. I also met people traveling by bicycle, motorcycle, hitchhiking, & buying a car and just driving.

But the easiest & most popular way of backpacking Africa is taking buses. That’s mostly what I used. Although I did take a couple cargo boats, hopped aboard one train, and hitched rides with strangers when needed.

Buses are everywhere though. It’s the main way locals get around. You can take them around town. They also cover longer distances that are 1 -10 hours away.

4. How Do I Get From One African Country to the Next?  From Place A to Place B?

When I traveled to Italy, I knew the exact trains I was going to take and what time they left. I also pre-booked where I was going to stay. I planned the entire trip, down to the last detail.

Backpacking Africa isn’t like that. You’re not going to know anything exact before you come. Because nothing is online. Also, many buses don’t leave until they’re full. You could be sitting on one for hours before it takes off. But I promise you, a bus goes to every town you’ll want to go. They’re all connected. And locals will help you figure it out.

My route traveling Africa for 7 months

5. Backpacking Africa Route? Backpacking Africa Itinerary?

Have you seen my route traveling Africa? I personally loved that I did, “Cape to Cairo.” Ummm because it sounds awesome, right? But actually, I loved always knowing which direction I was heading (north), while still having some wiggle room in for spontaneity. It also allowed me to see multiple countries and different regions (southern, eastern, and northern Africa vary tremendously!).

Your backpacking Africa route will probably change as you move. Because the continent is full of surprises. Before my trip, I didn’t comprehend how much there is to do. I also didn’t know how easy traveling the countries can be. So I ended up going to a lot of places I never expected (Zimbabwe and Sudan for starters…).

But as far as planning a backpacking Africa itinerary… think sloowwwww. Because travel here is not fast. I’d estimate it takes a solid 3-7x longer than back home. And that’s when the bus driver shows up.

If possible, I’d recommend staying in each country for at least 2-3 weeks. I did some shorter (Burundi was only 3 days because I could only get a transit visa at the border) and some longer (I stayed in Ethiopia a couple of months. After my trip I moved here and married an Ethiopian. I guess I’m really staying here a while…

6. Backpacking Africa Solo?  Can I Travel Africa Alone? How Do I Find a Travel Partner for Africa?

One of my most popular blogs, Travel Africa Solo (even as a girl), details some of the precautions to take with credit cards, packing, etc. But if you just want to know, backpacking Africa alone is totally possible & fun.

I was actually supposed to start my trip with my aunt. She bailed. But I decided to go anyways. It was the best decision because I met so many people along the way.

In popular spots like, South Africa, Mozambique, Victoria Falls, Lake Malawi, Zanzibar, and Mount Kilimanjaro, you’ll meet a lot of people!

Other times, you’ll be alone. An American backpacker named Brian just texted me because he arrived in Kenya and was feeling lonely (my Backpacking Africa Book Complete Edition comes with my email & phone number so I get a lot of messages from travelers which is fun). A few weeks later he was in Zanzibar and introducing me on WhatsApp chats with other travelers. That’s how it goes. One week you’re alone. The next you’re surrounded by 30+ backpackers.

I think it’s a really good mix. I can be slightly introverted so I definitely cherished the alone times. But even for the super social person, if there aren’t travelers around, locals will love meeting you. Plus, being alone can also make for some good reflective time.

This is me with some backpackers I met while staying at Mayoka Village in Nkhata Bay, Lake Malawi. You can meet dozens of travelers here!

7. Backpacking Africa Cost? Backpacking Africa On a Budget? Is Africa Expensive?

How much does Backpacking Africa Cost? Is it expensive?  Yes and No.

The super touristy experiences (climbing Kili, trekking Gorillas) can put a huge dent in your wallet. Even if you try and do a cheap African safari, you’ll still spend hundreds of dollars. But if you travel like a local, you’ll spend next to nothing. In Malawi, my tent cost $3 a night. I spent less than $1 per beer. And eating street food was just a couple of bucks.

I wrote about my entire trip cost in my book with tons of ways to save money (ex: less time in expensive countries like South Africa, more time in cheaper ones like Mozambique). But it can be done cheap. I even met a guy who had been robbed in Israel on his way to Egypt. He showed up with nothing. Managed to still buy me dinner (because so many locals were giving him money), and was already to Sudan with still– no money!

So don’t let the cost of traveling Africa stop you. You might even be able to make money while backpacking Africa too.

8. Backpacking Africa Packing List? What do I pack for Africa?

I overpacked. So much so, that years later this British backpacker named Robby still makes fun of me. A few weeks into my trip, I sold half of my stuff in a Mozambican market just to lighten my load.

Which is why I now promote backpacking light.

But I am a super huggggeeee fan of these anti-theft clothes which I review in detail in my backpacking Africa gear post. I also made a list of my favorite backpacking Africa resources that includes what NOT to waste your money on. Besides that, I do recommend a tent & a sturdy backpack (seriously, get a quality one. Africa is rough on stuff).

My kid size tent

I didn’t even like camping before my trip. Now, I’m obsessed.

9. Backpacking Africa as a Solo Female? Is it Safe to Travel As a Girl in Africa? Are Girls Backpacking Africa?

I didn’t have any problems traveling Africa as a girl by myself. Everyone helped me. I found most men to be super respectful. “This is how I would want someone to help my sister…” they’d say.

It’s not just me. During my trip, I met a lot of other girls backpacking Africa solo too. I also get tons of emails from girls who downloaded my book and message me afterwards about their awesome (and safe!) trip.

The top message is the last thing I heard from a girl named Daniela before she took off on her trip. Read her next message to me… she loved it!!

I teamed up with Girl vs Globe to make this video that goes over this travel myth (along with some practical safety tips). We also decided that we’re kind of twins. It’s seriously weird how much we have in common. Leave a comment below if you see what I mean.

But yes, GIRLS— I promise you, with some basic safety tips, you can TOTALLY travel Africa alone. And you’ll love it. It will be one of the most life-changing, empowering experiences of your life.

10. Backpacking Africa Safety? Is Africa Safe? How Do I Backpack Africa safely?

In my book, I ask this, “Would you travel a country that reports a rape every 6.2 minutes?” Or “Would you travel through a country where 1 murder happens every 35.6 minutes?”

No way, right?

Those are statistics from The United States! Ironic that most Americans are too scared to come to Africa.

Every country can be dangerous. But I personally experienced most African countries to be just as safe as the US (if not slightly safer in some respects… I hitchhiked across the continent, but I would never do that in America!).

Use common sense. Do the safety tips I recommend in my book. Read the scams I describe and follow how to avoid them. Trust your intuition. And ask locals and other backpackers for advice along the way.

Every hitchhiker needs a great sign

But seriously, I would never do this in the US. But I did it in almost every African country I went.

11. Backpacking Africa Tours? Should I Do an Overland Tour in Africa? Travel Tours for Africa?

I don’t like them. I even made a video why I don’t like Overland Tours in Africa. They’re way more expensive. (Even though, you’ll often stay in hostels like the rest of us). You’re on a tight schedule that can’t be changed. It kills the adventure part a bit. You might also get stuck with people you don’t like.

But with that being said, I know that some travelers really do enjoy them. If this is the only way you feel comfortable coming, then book one. You will probably love it. Just don’t think you have to do an overland tour. Because thousands of backpackers are in Africa right now without one.

12. Are there Backpacking Africa Blogs?

Some of my favorite blogs I’ve written are Ethiopia Travel: 7 Reasons You Must Go, Bucket List Ideas: 21 Things to Do in Africa Before you Die, and my bio which gives you a good background on my story in Africa.

But there are some others you’re going to love! See some of my favorite works they did on Africa below:

13. Is There a Backpacking Africa Forum? How Do I Connect with Other Travelers?

If you have more specific questions, you can ask them on Thorn Tree. The Backpacking Africa Facebook group is really popular too. There’s also some really cool Israelis who started, Mzungu.Org, which has lots of tips & travel buddy options. (Random fact, you’ll meet a lot of backpackers from Israel in Africa).

14. Is There a Backpacking Africa Book or Guide? Backpacking Africa Book for Newbies?

I’m obviously biased, but you should definitely download my Backpacking Africa for Beginners ebook. It’s literally everything you want to know, in step by step detail, about backpacking Africa (visas, crossing borders, costs, vaccines, safety tips, things to do, extra helpful stuff for girls, etc)

I actually just got a message from two travelers who met and started dating in Malawi. One day, they realized they both came to Africa by using my book! I feel like such a matchmaker. If they get married, I better be invited to the wedding.

But in all seriousness, most travelers also come with Lonely Planet Books. They are filled with lots of handy travel information about where to stay, how to get around, etc. I prefer the ones on a specific country or two (rather than a region) because you get even more detailed information (example: Get both the Kenyan book & the Tanzania book rather than the East Africa book or Africa book). In lieu of backpacking light, an ebook form might be more handy. But it is Africa, and power will go out…. So hardcopy isn’t a bad option either.

15. Backpacking Africa Destinations? Best Countries in Africa to Travel To? Where Should I Visit in Africa?

African countries are extremely different from each other (despite how we were all brought up in the West to believe “Africa” is a giant glob of safari animals and that’s it). That’s why in my route traveling travel Africa I recommend including a few countries so you can really feel the difference.

I already listed some of my favorite African travel destinations. If I had to choose my favorite country is Malawi. Hands down, include it on your trip. But I also really loved Uganda. Actually I loved every country on my journey for its own reason.

For example, Sudan blew all my stereotypes away and deepened my knowledge about the Islamic culture. I even loved their pyramids more than the ones in Egypt because they are so non-touristy.

I loved Mozambique for it seafood (except I’m now vegan) and beaches. Burundi was a fascinating, but somewhat a sad to see country. Rwanda, personally inspired me. The speed at which the country transformed itself (and side note– is one of the cleanest countries in the world) amazes me.

I could go on and on…. But if you aren’t sure where to start, backpack South Africa first. It’s the easiest to travel and filled with backpackers. Which is good, if you’re a newbie.

16. Does Africa Have Internet? How do I find Wifi in Africa? Can I backpack Africa if I need internet for my work?

You can find wifi in Africa. Your hostels will offer it (but it will be slow or not working a lot). You can also buy a local sim card, buy pre-paid phone cards locally, and then use cell data. (In Ethiopia, make sure you buy the credit & then get an internet package by dialing *999# in your phone first to save money.)  Or you can use an internet center which is full of super old computers. You’ll pay a cheap price per minute. (They’re good for checking Facebook & writing emails, but not good enough for Skype). But if you’re really worried about internet because you need it for work, you can go to any nice hotel, order a coffee, and use internet there.

I also recommend downloading a free VPN on your phone or computer. I use Betternet (although they’re pretty much the same. I don’t think it’s worth it to get the paid version). Most places you won’t need one, but once in while some African governments block certain sites. If you turn your VPN on, it will still allow you to access them.

(Side note– in Ethiopia the best places for internet are The Monarch, Jupiter, and Sheraton Hotels. Just buy coffee, and they’ll give you the password).

17. Will I find enough electricity in Africa? How often will power go out? How do I charge my electronics in Africa?

It will go out. A lot. I hope you like campfires. But actually, it’s pretty awesome to disconnect from the world. Especially when you’re surrounded by so much natural beauty, it’s really healthy to put your phone a way for a while.

Now that I’ve started a social impact snack company, Dirkosh Crunch, that relies on an oven, the electricity issues are a lot less cute. But as a backpacker, the lack of power can cause you to really bond with the people around you.

For those super worried about it though, I love this solar powered USB charger. To be fair, any device that is solar powered is helpful to have with you. But most hostels know how dependent travelers are on electricity. They do their best to find ways to get your stuff charged.

Horse back riding in South Africa is so pretty! (Except half way through this, I realized I HATE horse back riding. I was terrified the whole way! Haha

)

18. Is there Clean Water in Africa? What kind of water do I drink while backpacking Africa? Can I drink tap water in Africa?

Tap water will you get seriously sick. Besides South Africa, you’ll need to buy bottled water. It is everywhere. Also, Coca Cola is everywhere too. But that probably won’t help hydrate you.

I personally wouldn’t travel without a Life Straw or some water purification tablets in case of an emergency (I met a backpacker whose bus broke down in Somaliland for a couple days. He had nothing to drink! He was about to drink out of a nearby, dirty creek, when help finally arrived. I love Africa, but be prepared for an emergency too.)

19. Is There Hot Water in Africa? Will I Find a Hot Shower?

It’s a 50/50. Some hostels have it. My favorite one, Liwonde Safari Camp, has ads that literally boast “piping hot showers”. The owner is a crazy, but cool Dutch guy who lets the whole place run on solar power. The water was definitely hot! But I’d brace yourself in other places– especially in Ethiopia. The only good thing is that being dirty is somewhat acceptable as a backpacker.

20. Should I come to Africa Now? Should I Wait until I Have More Money? Best time To Backpack Africa?

In this order: Yes, No, & Anytime.

There’s never a convenient time to backpack Africa. You’re bound to miss a friend’s wedding, screw up a new dating relationship, or run into a rainy season somewhere along the way. But if you let these excuses get in the way, you’ll never come.

So I’d block out some time, and come now.

If there are one or two big activities you want to do (like shark diving or touching a whale shark), plan around the season. If not, you’ll miss it. But if you’re traveling a continent this big & diverse, it’s not possible to always arrive in the best weather. Even if you arrive in the off season, you’ll find other advantages like lower prices. You can’t go wrong.

This is me and another backpacker getting ready to jump in a cage & go shark diving! It was freakinggg scary! But so cool getting that close! Shark cage diving in South Africa is based on seasons.

21. How has backpacking Africa changed you? Is Africa really worth the costs, the vaccines, the time?

Yes! A thousand times yes! Backpacking Africa, especially as a solo female, was the most empowering experience of my life. Even when I face a challenge now, I think, “Okay, I literally backpacked across Africa. I can figure this out.” I also was introduced to so many new cultures, religions, and people that I’m more open minded ( I was before too, but there is a better depth to it). I learned that I’m capable of so much more than I knew. I had crazy, adventure filled, experiences that I will be telling to my grandchildren some day. I also learned what African countries are really like, and they blow my mined!

After living here for a few years & getting really into the Ethiopian culture, I’ve also learned new values. I’m much more community oriented (I’m naturally prone to being almost too independent/lone wolf-ish). I value relationships more. My patience has increased. I go with the flow more. I help others better. I’m less focused on my looks. I’m more grateful for life. I’m able to stay more in the present.

Backpacking Africa also set off a weird chain of events I never expected. I ended up moving to Addis Ababa after my trip. I got married to an Ethiopian (I thought I wanted to stay single for life). I started my own snack company. I have become a huge advocate for African agri-business. I am also really passionate about supporting Ethiopian women with disabilities.

Maybe your experience won’t be as dramatic. But everyone I meet who comes to Africa gets touched to their core in someway or another. So yes, backpacking Africa is worth it.

Good morning.

Here’s what you need to know:

A mixed message from Washington.

• “Most Americans now get their internet and phone services from one of a few providers, and most TV shows and movies are produced by a handful of big companies. But there is so far no clear view about how Washington will navigate this constantly shifting terrain.”

One of our business reporters, David Gelles, examined the differing stances that the Trump administration has taken this week on one of the central issues shaping business and society.

On Tuesday, the F.C.C. announced plans to dismantle rules that prevent internet service providers from charging higher fees and blocking access to some websites. (This video explains how net neutrality works.)

What Is Net Neutrality?

The F.C.C. is set to repeal rules that require internet providers to give consumers equal access to all content online. Here’s how it works.

That followed Monday’s lawsuit by the Justice Department to block AT&T’s proposed takeover of Time Warner.

• “You’ve got one agency saying that marrying content and distribution results in too much market power, and another agency saying there’s no problem with a distributor favoring their content over someone else’s,” one analyst said.

Separately, Representative John Conyers Jr., a Democrat, is under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for sexual harassment charges. His party’s leaders, including Nancy Pelosi, offered little support.

CBS fired Charlie Rose on Tuesday, a day after multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct.

• And John Lasseter, co-founder of the animated-film studio Pixar, said he would take a leave of absence after unspecified “missteps” that made some staff members feel “disrespected or uncomfortable.”

Another Navy accident in Asia.

• A search is underway after an aircraft carrying 11 people crashed off Japan today. It’s the fifth accident this year for the U.S. Navy’s Seventh Fleet, its largest overseas.

Japan’s public broadcaster reported that at least eight people had been rescued.

• The Navy relieved Vice Adm. Joseph Aucoin, the head of the Seventh Fleet, of his command in August.

Business

• Uber disclosed that hackers had stolen 57 million driver and rider accounts. The company kept the data breach secret for more than a year after paying a $100,000 ransom.

• Meg Whitman is stepping down as chief executive of Hewlett Packard Enterprise six years after joining its corporate predecessor and leading a turnaround effort that split the Silicon Valley corporate icon in two.

She will be succeeded by Antonio Neri, the company’s president.

• An Iranian hacker has been charged in the theft of 1.5 terabytes of data from HBO in May, an attack that included the release of several unaired programs and scripts.

Andrew Byford, the transit chief in Toronto, was named on Tuesday to take over the management of New York City’s ailing subways and buses.

Our columnist Jim Dwyer has some advice: “The New York transit system has smart people who can fix just about anything that moves. But as much as it needs new parts, it needs a culture where honesty matters.”

Back Story

Last week, President Trump reversed the government’s decision to start allowing hunters to import trophies of elephants that were killed in two African countries.

More than a century ago, another president took the opposite approach.

Shortly after leaving office in 1909, Theodore Roosevelt led a safari to Africa, organized by the Smithsonian Institution and partly financed by Andrew Carnegie, the industrialist and philanthropist. The group gathered specimens for what is now the National Museum of Natural History in Washington.

Then, as now, hunting split opinion.

When Roosevelt wrote to the Smithsonian in 1908, outlining his safari plans, he insisted he was “not in the least a game butcher” but rather “a faunal naturalist.”

The expedition lasted nearly a year — stretching from what is now Kenya to Sudan — and included Roosevelt’s son Kermit and several naturalists from the Smithsonian.

The group ultimately collected more than 11,000 specimens, many of them bugs, plants and small mammals. But about 500 were big game animals shot by Roosevelt or his son.

The former president later wrote about the trip in a book, “African Game Trails.” He was highly sensitive to charges of cruelty but noted “to protest against all hunting of game is a sign of softness of head, not of soundness of heart.”

Finance Rental: Selecting Holiday together with Business Rental-car in Advance Whenever seeking finance rental, a lot of people prefer to e book holiday or simply business hire in advance. Hire is usually a have to for most online business trips, if you are being acquired at the terminal transfer. Driving a corporation car is decent for brief trips, however when you have prolonged distances of moving, or even foreign, then you ought to hire a vehicle and you intend something befitting your needs. Vacation car rental will be even more important to maximum people, in particular when they have sizeable families affecting two grownups and few children. It can bad enough experiencing two children at the rear of a small motor vehicle let alone several! You probable know what Come on, man! On vacation you need a 4 wheel drive or even a consumers carrier (strange name) that will fit all your family easily and with out complaints the entire way! However these are not always purchased at airports, and that means you could have a difficulty if you don't guide in advance. Precisely the same is true of a lot more prestigious internet business cars that include 7-Series CHEVROLLET, Mercedes as well as similar, and then for these you might almost certainly need to book your company car rentals for prom before you get there. That's excellent if you are striving cheap car procurment in your own state, but you might have difficulty the process when traveling elsewhere. It's problematic enough choosing a car throughout Hawaii after you live in Rojo, but consider making some sort of advance reservation in Kenya when you stay in Australia! Might not it often be great for those who could find a great way to publication business car rental or a auto for your holiday seasons from your own family home? Or have your current secretary undertake it for you not having tearing him / her hair out there? Most people wish to book their very own car before you get there when being carried out vacation or possibly for business visits. Cheap car hire is easier so you can get by reserving early on the web, and by accomplishing they make certainly they grab the car they really want, and not just 'what's available'. Other people don't seem to help bother concerning forward reservation of hire car: they will e book air entry and work out tickets ahead of time but give their buses to fortune! Cheap Car Rentals Cost Benefits There are several great things about booking your company holiday rental car in advance, not necessarily the least appearing cost. Almost all car hire organizations will charge much less for an promote booking when compared with if you simply just turn up within the desk, therefore booking your company vacation or simply business car hire in advance probably will save you capital - particularly when you e-book a car on the net.

It's not possible easy to find a car or truck to suit an individual if you have 5 or 6 in your friends and family, and lots of essentials. In fact , you will possibly not find everything and have to fund a couple of taxis to your accommodation so that they can qualified to with cut down a car huge enough for you. It is more appropriate to have arranged your winter car rental forward.
