More Riches in Mauritius Delicious
After 2 days in the Seychelles and bidding a long, lingering farewell to Duaa, we headed onwards to more of island paradise in Mauritius. I first heard of Mauritius back in 2009 when a former girlfriend of mine idealized it as her top honeymoon destination. It...
Do You See Shells in Seychelles on the Sea Shore?
After a few days adventuring in Madagascar and picking up Duaa, an extra monsooner from Iraq we met at our hostel along the way, we flew out to the Seychelles (at Evan's insistence a few months ago) on a 2.5 hour 4pm flight from TNR to SEZ. We landed at 7:35pm...
Wanta F-Anta-nanarivo, Don’t You Wanta, Wanta Fanta?
Much like Dar es Salaam in Taznania, there's nothing much to see in the capital of Madagascar either in terms of tourist trappings, but that may be part of the allure of this place. Perhaps the most well known site would be the Queen's Palace aka...

After our day in Comoros -- the #10-#12 least visited country in the world (depending who you ask) -- let's get even more off the beaten track: Mayotte, a French island in the Indian Ocean off East Africa between Madagascar and Mozambique that ceded to...
Don’t Be a Moron-i, Comoros and Have a Good Time!
After our last night with Ravi, Bryan, and Brandon in Dar es Salaam, the 7 of us remaining now we go from most traveled to one of the 10 least traveled: Comoros. Having endured 20 coups or attempted coups since gaining independence from France in...
Truth or Dar es Salaam?
Let's face it, Dar es Salaam, the capital of Tanzania, is often a necessary stop on the way to or from Zanzibar, a safari in the north (which we're coming back from) or home. So don't set your expectations anywhere to the level that you would for Zanzibar or the...
