Though I have worked in emerging markets since 2006, I have never physically been to any of them outside of Latin America. Compare the following statement freely to my accounts once I have actually been there but, Africa holds a certain mystique. Mama Africa has always drawn me. Ever since Karen Blixen buried Denys Finch-Hatton where the lions lay and I heard Ayub Ogada's Kothbiro sung, going sub-Saharan has been a lifetime goal. Now, here I am on the eve of partially completing one of those "things to do before I die" and I am totally paranoid of getting Bot Fly larvae burrowed under my skin.
'Til next time!
