    After a hard couple of years this trip helped to restore my faith in humanity once more. I met some wonderful and genuine people on the journey. This was a once in a lifetime experience where I was well catered for and had experiences that I will be talking about until the stories become legends. It was well organised and I particularly like the safeguarding policies were G-adventures do not use people as if they are zoo animals like I have seen happen elsewhere. This approach is kind and I can jump on board with it!
