CROSSING PIRATE WATERS BY JULIE BRADLEY FREE

I’ve worked on other tours-the Silk Route, the Bamboo Road, Ruta Maya, Magical Madagascar-but Africa is my full-time project and has lately included TDA’s complex tour of West Africa. In 2009, I landed the job as TDA’s assistant tour director on the Cairo to Cape Town trip-and the rest is history.Įver since, Africa has been my baby and my favourite. I stayed at Warriors for three years, then cycled solo across Africa when I was 22 years old. Having my attitude and my comfort zone constantly pushed readied me for all sorts of real-world challenges.

There, I was free to discover and explore who I was and to test physical and mental endurance. I chose Warriors and the programme equipped me for life by giving me a solid foundation. In 2003, I saw a magazine ad of a bunch of cyclists lined up in front of the Giza pyramids and I became hooked on the idea of doing that but I had to choose between taking a four-month cycling trip across Africa or going to Warriors Boot Camp to get educated. When I left school I had no direction, no idea of where I wanted to be or what I wanted to do, once my dream of flying died. However, it wasn’t long before I realized that flying in a straight line from point A to point B wasn’t for me! As well, I knew from a young age I wanted to explore, travel, and see the world-my dream at one time was to fly airplanes. “The thing I love most about my job is watching the social dynamics unfold.”įor as long as I can remember I’ve been stripping, fixing, and riding bicycles.
