- See the African stars twinkle
- Drink homemade -still bubbling- sorghum beer from a big clay-pot, at a local Rwandan wedding, sharing the few hollow drinking sticks with the other guests
- Stand at the back of a pick-up truck while its driving through a national park, with one of the best singer-songwriters of this planet singing in my left ear
- Go for a very sweaty run through a big tropical arboretum, during sunset, not seen by anybody, except a group of monkeys
- Have tons of little friends, and be at home, in Umurera-village
- Go for a hike in one of the largest remaining pieces of African mountain forest
- Eat a piece of cow stomach (still feel like throwing up when I think about it...)
- Be greeted by my own -quite difficult- name, by countless children, along my way to work, in rural Africa
- Taste a mango, just seconds after it left the tree, because it was me, floating right there, in Lake Malawi, underneath a mango tree
- Enjoy a beautiful purple, and orange, and pink, and red, sunset, while being surrounded by herds of quiet, very chill, elephants
- Swim across a swollen mountain-stream, dressed, and packed, because it was the only possibility to reach a dry place during some very rainy moments of the rain season
- Come home, after not being home for quite a few months
