Fellas,

I promise I will do an in depth summary (with pics) of my trips to Jozi and Nairobi when I get back to DC next week.

I'm already thinking of my next trip at the end of summer (9 nights).

Right now I'm leaning very heavily to London, Amsterdam and Paris especially as my best friend is in London and we haven't seen each other in a few years and he's also graduating from Law school so it'd be a vibe.

But for some reason Brazil is calling my name :wow:

I already know we gonna post up in Nigeria and Ghana for Christmas 2018. The scenes :wow:

Expand your horizon brehs :wow:

If you need some info about Paris let me know, been living here for some time. You can do all those three destinations in one trip thanks to high-speed trains (London-Paris and Paris-Amsterdam is both like 3 hours) but depends how much time you want to spend in each city obviously. Paris in August is interesting because damn near everyone leaves on holidays so the city is much more enjoyable/laid-back.

I just came back from a couple days in the Algarve region, south of Portugal. Nice sceneries, food, history etc...but I DO NOT recommend going to Portugal any time before may, second time I did that and weather was terrible :francis::mjcry:

:wow:

South Africa is definitely on my list as is Costa Rica and Peru to name a few (I want to visit Machu Picchu even though I don't like heights :mjcry:)

44 countries and counting :blessed:


How was Phuket? Looking to make a trip over there in June. Plan to stay in Patong.

Did you stay in a hotel?

What did you do while you were there?

Any tips in general?

Phuket was lit had a great time :wow:

I stayed in a Hotel called the Unity but there are two buildings. I stayed in the one behind the main hotel it which was on an insane hill. :damn: it wasn't so bad when we used a tuk tuk or motortaxi and they had stairs which actually made it easier. Really nice boutique hotel with a beautiful infinity pool. Spectacular view

We went to the clubs every night on their Walking Street. Phuket is one of the party capitals of Southeast Asia. All kinds of music that caters to everyone. Did a day trip to the Phi Phi Islands.

Just note, Patong beach itself is nothing to write home about. Its crowded and not all that. You go drive up or down a few minutes for something nicer, or take a trip to Krabi. Phuket is more expensive than other cities (but still cheap in the grand scheme of things).

AVOID THE "fukkING" SHOWS unless you want to pay $27 for a pineapple juice :mjlol: They say you can't haggle for prices but that isn't true, just be reasonable and fair.

And just like that, it's over :wow:

Back to DC tomorrow. All good things must come to an end.

This trip was needed. Coli, I promise pics and a review of both Jo'burg and Nairobi when I'm back and settled. It was a scene.

I've learned so much about myself on this trip it's ridiculous.

Networked pretty heavy as well :ehh:
