man, really sellin’ Africa for me..

Is it strange that I have absolutely no desire to visit that continent? Even if I was given free tickets, I’d likely pass on it. I’ve never heard anyone visit Africa and come back saying “Boy! I want to live there!”

I just hear “malaria”, “genocide”, “bugs”, “complete lack of infrastructure”, “military coups”, “s*** your brains out sick”

If Africa didn’t have such exotic critters, would anyone visit?

I have a similar reaction to the US. I just hear "guns", "bad food", "insular", "racist". If it didn't have such great landscapes, would anyone visit?

😆 Not to mention getting addicted to opioids...
