That is my hobby. I don't often go out and get drunk or buy lots of swanky things, I prefer to spend my money on travelling.

I agree Ben. I rather save up and go on holiday too! Your trip sounds exciting. I plan on staying at my workplace to get my shares then afterwards I plan on travelling for longer. I would love to do Camp America.

I am going skiing for the first time next year. Got nothing else planned yet. I have been to Thailand and India in the past 2 years and will hopefully continue to explore my horizons!

Really, the wider world doesn't interest you? There is so much to see, I don't think I could ever give up seeing it all.

Brilliant! And I loved the food. It wasn't as stodgy as I thought. When I went to Thailand it was mainly rice and curry or noodles/pad thai but there was even more variety in India. I loved the Taj Mahal but it was smaller than I thought! The North of India is a lot better and cheaper. I thought Goa was overated. But it's worth going for a little beach break but I wouldn't go to India purely for just Goa!

Have a wonderful time and be safe

Are you backpacking around those places or just doing a bit of sightseeing in each of them?

I'm doing a tour for these places. Not quite sure what to expect and it's generally easier to do a tour. I'm doing a bit of backpacking around South Africa first from Cape Town to Jo'berg. I just need November to hurry the hell up and get here.

Excuse my ignorance, but I know South Africa is safe apart from crime being high, but what about Mozambique and Swaziland, are there any wars or anything going on in them?

Swaziland is very safe to travel, probably one of the safest Africa countries (if not the safest along with Seychelles and Namibia) and is also regarded as being safer than the USA (but most places are tbqh).

Mozambique has some trouble but more situated in areas where tourism doesn't go and generally a low threat of terrorism, but the country looks so beautiful.

I would be very very careful of backpacking from Cape Town to Jo'burg.

Swaziland should be fun, never been to Mozambique.
Should be a fantastic holiday as long as you are careful Ben.

No,no and never.
Totally different to when we lived there.
Improved by million per cent because apartheid is abolished, but far too much crime and corruption now.
Much preferred living in Zimbabwe..before that despot Mugabe ruined it.

In all honesty,I could not live with all those snakes now. I shudder just thinking about it.

What type of volunteering you looking for? If Africa scares you look at places like Central America, Bali, Asia for alteranative volunteer projects
