Lately I've been thinking of something to do with life.

I work quite a bit, I love what I do but i kind of want to enjoy life a little bit more.. I was thinking of a fun idea and here it is:

The rules are simple:

I'm 30 years old, and I want to visit a new country every 2 weeks..

From first week of December, I'm going to start going to a new country/city outside Nigeria every 2 weeks, based on your suggestion and ease of logistics..
First come, first serve, unless there are two or three countries close together in which case I'll just knock it out in one go.

If an overwhelming amount of people want a particular country then I'll visit there first.

How will this work?

Just tell me a city/cities you want me to visit, and tell me at least 5 places/landmarks you want me to go to.

In return, I'll go there, take lots of pictures of my trip going there, from Lagos all the way to the country, as well as get the pictures of the landmarks and cool things you want to see.

Why am I doing this?

I just realized that I end up going to the same places over and over. (Dubai, USA,) This forum is huge and many people know lots of cool places I will never get to visit except if I know about it. You are honestly doing me a favor and I get to see the world, while you get a full trip report.

Who will i travel with?

So far I'm going alone, however if I have an upcoming trip and you want to join, please feel free to join me.. Sex/Gender/Age is irrelevant.. Travel buddies are fun. If nobody joins then i'll just go alone.

What will the duration of each trip be?

I want to keep each trip to 3-4 days maximum. Ideally I would leave Nigeria on a Thursday and come back like /Tuesday of the next week..

Are there any countries I wont visit?

Yup. Countries like Iran, Iraq, Chad, Ukraine , Egypt, Lebanon, Yemen, Israel, Russia, Congo, North Korea, Pakistan, Sudan, Central African Republic, Somalia, Afghanistan, South Sudan, Syria. Basically any country I deem unsafe or war-torn. Please dont get me shot or killed

What countries can you visit?

I can visit any country here: http://www.globalallianz.org/visa-free-countries-for-us-citizens/ as long as its safe.

I also have a Chinese visa so thats do-able. I am willing to visit countries like Brazil,Russia, but they will take longer to arrange since I need to arrange a visa for those countries. The visa will be arranged whenever I'm in the states as it is much easier and I don't feel like dealing with the crazy embassies in this country. The only caveat is if you chose a country or city that requires me to get a visa, then you may have to wait 3 or 4 months before I get the visa.

What are your immediate plans?

I'm going to Shanghai, and Zhejiang in two weeks time for business. If you have any requests for those places let me know.

My schedule is free for the first 2 weeks of december, so I'd like a recommendation, but last week of december and first week of January im going to Paris & Amsterdam for christmas and new years. (Pls tell me any requests for those places as well)

Basically the first accepted travel request will most likely be completed first week of December or so.

Any questions please ask... All updates and pictures will be posted here.

Go to Hawaii...

You need to tell me places/islands/landmarks to visit while in Hawaii.. It has always been on my list..

I see you're trying to get me shot

Hues I will join you in your trip.

can u go to heaven/hell to help us confirm if there is after life

U can start off with other African countries...Tanzania...Zanzibar for a start.

If you have a week to spare, you might consider visiting many european countries. The advantages of travelling in Europe is that its short, inexpensive and borderless (if you have the right travel documents of course). Two years ago, I visited three countries in one day due to their proximity to each other. I started from Budapest (Hungary), took a one hour bus to Bratislava (Slovakia), then an hour train to Vienna (Austria). Vienna is also just two hours away from Brno (Czech republic) and from CZ, you are few kilometres away to Poland.

Check website like wizzair.com and ryanair.com. I usually travel with 10euros per trip via this airlines, but you will have to buy your ticket a minimum of 2 weeks in advance to get a cheap fair. If you visit Paris, you might consider visiting the UK and the Netherlands, as they are closer as well. Make the best out of your journey, and enjoy the culture, historical and ancient architectural presence lacking in the US (no offence). If you prefer to travel by car, check out blablacar.com, its a ridesharing community.

If you come to Amsterdam, I might show you around, depending on my schedules. Life is an adventure, live it up

Gosh! I wish I can do this.

OP, I'm so jolos right now.

Awaiting pix and details.

I would love to visit Amsterdam for those ''coffee shops'', plus I hear it's quite an open-minded society compared to the UK.

Of course. I work in the hospitality sector and many of my customers are anglophones especially Brits. I'm yet to come across a Brit who didnt rate Amsterdam higher than London. They usually talk about how spacious and clean it is. Surely I believe you'll love it.

Sounds good .. I'll be in Amsterdam on December 30th or so, for new years.. Will you be around?

And why did u suddenly ignore princeonx when he said he will be in Armsterdam too? Is it because u will know come 30 Dec you will be sitting under one Iroko tree in Maiduguri sipping on zobo? God is watching you in 3D

What's special about Hawaii? The length of the trip is just too much for me around the US. I'll rather spend that hours on plane going to Europe or somewhere completely different from US

hawaii is beautiful.. one of the nicest places in USA in terms of natural beauty/water/forests..

I still think san diego is God's own city.. Lived there for a while and the weather is PERFECT.. People are amazing there... Sunny all year round... No bugs, mosquitoes, like Florida.. Just an incredible place..

jjman2322:

can you go to Helsinki, Finland? ask people there, if a black migrant can be a finish policia... ask them the requirement and processes.
and don't forget to take pictures.
thank you
