I spent the last 10 years backpacking Africa. I never documented my travels. Looking back, I would choose the same path.

I've been following him also...he is everywhere lol.
He mentioned he had a tech job at one point on one of his blog posts.
That's me, but I'm not South African :)
I studied Software Engineering in Australia, I work as that from time to time to top up the savings account, though I hope I never have to do it again.

I absolutely love your blog (and that Jeep). Been reading it since you started your Africa trip!
Good luck and keep it up.
Making money is basically what every single long-term traveler is focused on, and I've yet to meet a single one who is actually paying for full time travel while traveling full time. A few of us (me included) get close by selling magazine articles, writing books, selling photos, etc. etc. It's a job, just a really, really fun job.
