2027 travel plans

2027 is starting to firm up a little.

I’ll be studying for probably six months of the year and then the other half is still TBA. The study part looks firmer for the first half of the year, so now I need to consider broad plans for maybe two months in the second half, if I can get time away from work.

Do you reckon I could fit coastal West Africa sensibly into the second half of next year somewhere? Anyone even been somewhere there and have the key tips (avoid monsoon etc)…

Cameroon (Yaounde or Douala area?)
Nigeria (probably Abuja)
Benin
Togo
Ghana
Côte d’Ivoire
Liberia

Is that complex enough or should I try to get over to Equatorial Guinea as well? 🤪

Overland travel looks ‘sporty’ so maybe flying between each would actually be easier? And before anyone suggests it, who needs a beach resort in Aitutaki when you can have chaotic cities and malaria!
