please do not do # 27.
I hear stories of fellow bloggers who have had to do it due to a full bus below, it’s all in the name of adventure!! I’ll be safe though, I promise!
Sounds amazing!!! Keep me posted x
I’ll be traveling through Africa again next June-July (with Nomad again, different tour)… lemme know if you’re interested in traveling with a fellow travel blogger whilst crossing off #6 🙂
Honestly….I may….although, not sure if I’d do it with an organized group. You really enjoyed doing it through Nomad if I recall, right? Even after being skeptical at first, it turned out amazing? I may be attending a wedding in London next July and I’m considering heading to Africa from there, but I wont make any decisions until Spring of next year. Definitely want to cross off #6 – Africa, however, if I get to Ushuaia and get board a boat for Antarctica, I’d happily make Africa #7. 🙂
While you are accomplishing #47, head over to the island of Solarte and cross off #57. 🙂
Thanks Katrina! Great advice!
I’ll definitely add that to my “To-Do” list in Panama! It looks amazing!
