/1 Comment/in Africa, Travelogue /by allanWhile I haven’t made it to Africa quite yet on my WorldRider Journey, it appears my brother Jonathan beat me to it.

Hospital Daze & Nights.
/3 Comments/in North America, Travelogue, USA /by allanI tried to get as much sleep as possible that first night in the hospital. It’d been a long journey to get here — three and a half days to be exact. But I’d spend the next three and a half in that hospital bed. I gave the nursing staff and my doctor a scare […]
