Are you the guy who got flak for putting a Mercedes engine in a Jeep and was then told to take an AK47 with you to Ivory Coast? Those discussions were inspiring, funny and tragic all in one, here and on reddit.

Yep, that's me.

I'm in the DRC now, country number 16. Having the time of my life.

Glad to hear it's working out well for you and that the naysayers were wrong about everything (incl. the AK)!

The internet is full of "experts".

To really determine if you can do something, talk to people that have done similar things. I know at least 50 people that have done what I am doing, and loved every second. They all said without hesitation the only crazy thing would be not doing it!
