I've wanted to do something similar for eons. For now I'm saving up (well, paying off debt from previous travels, then saving up) for the big day.

1. Is something like this feasible for a woman travelling solo?
2. How did cycling go? I'd love to bike on a trip like this. Were the parts of Africa you visited cycling friendly? Are there maps, or did you stick to roads? Can you even find bike parts in the middle of Malawi??

Amazing story and pics, and thanks for your input!

I have the same condition. In high school I'd purposely get popsicles and eat them slowly to distort my face. Once, my lips got so swollen that they split and I start bleeding.

I don't do that anymore.

Oh man! When I was diagnosed with cold urticaria I was told to consider myself lucky that it wasn't heat urticaria. Sorry for you.

Hey, me too! I got a second opinion because I figured my first doc was full of shit. The second doctor told me to consider myself lucky that I wasn't allergic to heat, because some people can go in anaphylactic shock when working out. (This is just what the doc said -- I've never looked it up.)
