Question
I would be travelling alone and would like to stretch my £5000 budget as far as possible.

How long do you think i could last in africa, without working, but living with only the basics.. don't even need a bed, just shelter. also, do you think it is safe enough for me to be doing this?

Thanks

Expertise

I'm a writer and journalist. I'm also an info-junkie, so there is very little I can't find out. I grew up in a bookshop and newspaper-owning family, so its in my genes.

Experience

I've been a journalist/editor for over 30 years. I'm also a pretty good photographer. Check out my pics at http://www.flickr.com/photos/25908474@N00/.Besides all the other writing I do, I have been writing political speeches for the past 13 years and I believe passionately in the African Renaissance.

Organizations
I don't join organizations.

Publications
I'm writing African travel stories (and other stories) for www.Suite 101.com at the moment. There are also some of my own stories on my websites www.protocolinpractice.co.za and www.ethekwiniweb.co.za. So, Google my name, you'll find others , I'm sure.

Education/Credentials
Enough

Awards and Honors
There have been, but they don't define who I am or what I'm capable of.

Past/Present Clients
I've been writing speeches for the Mayor and other local government politicians in Durban for the past 13 years - I also write website content. But mostly- I'm reliable.
