Guys – I need some international help here. For some reason, September is kicking my ass and I’m going through major equipment failures. I don’t want your money – I want your connections. I desperately need to find a few people who are traveling from different parts of the world to areas in Africa that I’ll be in the next few months – I’ve had a wheel meltdown (no front brakes, and I happen to be in Rwanda and Burundi soon where I hit a max of 83km a few months back), my tent is beyond repair – Poles snapped, Zippers Failed, and my laptop no longer works with warranty already gone on the unit, but the company nice enough to extend it for a few weeks.

What I am looking for – Someone coming over from the UK/EU Zone into Rwanda/Burundi in the next 3 weeks – OR – Zambia in next 2 months. Also, someone coming over from USA to the above. Also, someone in Africa heading down to South Africa – and if luck has it, someone coming back up into Zambia from anywhere in South Africa.

The reason why I ask this is that shipping for laptop ($400+), new tent ($200), and new wheel ($250) is out of control – almost $1000 for shipping when the parts are worth half of that (I also don’t have those types of funds at present) . I Was hoping someone would be able to bring a few things along with them, and I’d be forever happy – At present this is going to stall, if not end my travels for the foreseeable future – Please ask your friends, relatives, VSOs, Peace Corp Volunteer Friends, Travelers, Trekkers, Overlanders, Whomever for me. Thanks.

Please share this with others if you can.

This is the least of my problems. Along with a front wheel that cannot use brakes and is likely to shatter at any time. A tent that doesn’t close and lets bugs and water in, and a computer that is rapidly running out of warranty and the abilty to have it repaired, I’m calling out readers to see if they know anyone who is coming to Zambia, Rwanda, Burundi in the near future, or someone who is going from Zambia to South Africa, and Visa Versa. I appreciate any leads that I can follow up on. — -Dave
