Africa
Africa, comprising 54 diverse countries, is a continent of vast proportions, spanning more than three times the land area of the United States. Its sheer size encompasses a breathtaking diversity of landscapes, cultures, and wildlife that make it one of the most captivating regions on Earth for travelers. From the expansive Sahara Desert in the north to the dense jungles of Central Africa, and from the majestic mountains of East Africa to the pristine coastlines along the Mediterranean, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans, Africa holds a plethora of natural wonders waiting to be explored. One of my favorite aspects of the continent is its astounding cultural richness. With over 3,000 distinct ethnic groups speaking more than 2,000 languages, the continent bodes a vibrant heritage of music, art, cuisine, and traditions. Despite historical exploitation and ongoing conflicts in some regions, Africa's size not only underscores its geographic diversity but also highlights the countless opportunities for adventure and discovery across its diverse landscapes and among its welcoming people. I am excited to explore more of this country and look forward to upcoming travels to Madagascar, Tanzania, South Africa and Zimbabwe. I am excited to offer you insight into three incredible countries I've so far had the opportunity to visit: Morocco, Rwanda and Egypt!Â
