I'm Desmond Langkilde, a limber 63 year young fossil, a travel writer, and a dreamer.
I have a dream that's born of passion, nurtured through countless hours, even years, of planning, budgetting, and grant funding application rejections. And still the Dream persists! Undaunted by others who consider the Dream to be fanciful, unrealistic, or just plain crazy. If your dreams are similar, then I'm in good company.
This is a long story. So sit back, grab a coffee (or your favourite tipple), and read on as I share my dream with you.
Then, at the end, make a comment. Be critical. Share your dream. How did you overcome setbacks to turn your dream into reality? After all, I'm posting this to get feedback and inspiration from the Travel Massive community (or anyone you care to share this post with).
👉 So, here's my dream; to walk the entire Africa coastline, including the continents' islands - 40 countries, 40,000km, 52 million steps.
And while walking, to tell Africas' stories. Storie...

If anyone is on our route we would love to meet up with you! We will be in Bucharest from the 25-27th of September and then heading through Romania to Bansko in Bulgaria! Hit us up 😀
Looks like an amazing road trip1! Enjoy the next leg
Guys, this is so embarrassing. Calling Poland, Romania and Bulgaria ex-Soviet countries. This ignorance is just everything a traveler shouldn't bring along, according to me. Good luck on your trip and try to learn something while traveling.
Hey bud! The description actually says 5 ex-Soviet countries (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine and Moldova) so we aren’t claiming they are all ex-Soviet :)
The route was based on Euro-Velo’s ‘Iron Curtain’ route and in the video we explained that we were exploring some ex-Soviet and their neighbors.
All the best!
amazing trip so far- when is episode 2 expected?
thanks for the video entertainment and dreaming of future adventures!
