Episode Synopsis

LocationGuinea-Bissau — hotel stay and local reflections before departureEpisode NotesGood day! November 2, 2025, marked Johan’s last day traveling with me on this journey. He arranged a late-night flight to Paris, connecting on to Madrid, and then a train to Alcaceros to continue his plans. The morning started with a small hiccup—a one-hour flight delay—but everything eventually worked out.Johan also had the opportunity to meet Christoph Roller, a remarkable German pastor in his 70s who spent six years in Nigeria and continues to inspire across Africa. Hearing his stories was humbling and motivating.The rest of the day was more relaxed. Johan packed his things while I caught up on some personal work. Overnight, a heavy rain shower had come through, giving the cars a much-needed wash. We also discovered the hotel had a unique resident—a pet antelope named Sailor, who was friendly enough to eat out of your hand.Since it didn’t make sense for me to drive to the airport, Johan took a taxi, and we said our goodbyes in this hidden gem of a hotel. Traveling with him has been amazing, sharing experiences across incredible places—from the hard-to-reach hotels to the most memorable, like Sunset Beach Hotel in The Gambia. Africa truly delivered everything one could expect: rough roads, simple accommodations, and unforgettable adventures.It’s been a pleasure having Johan along, and I’m looking forward to the next leg of this journey.Key MomentsSaying goodbye to Johan as he prepares for his late-night flightMeeting Christoph Roller, an inspiring pastor with a life across AfricaCatching up on work while Johan packedExperiencing a heavy rain shower—nature’s car washDiscovering the hotel’s friendly pet antelope, SailorReflecting on the most memorable accommodations, including Sunset Beach Hotel in the GambiaAppreciating the full spectrum of African travel—adventures, challenges, and unforgettable experiences
