I have often been asked by friends and acquaintances if they could accompany me on one of my journeys to the BLAC World. Typically they are either too busy or financially strapped to actually go on such a trip; but their desire to travel is genuine. How can you afford to go somewhere for three months, they ask? What are the dangers that await me? What shots do I need? What happens if I break a leg or get sick in the middle of the bush? Who will take care of my dog (or other pet) while I am gone?
What if I were to tell these people and you that you could accompany me on my extended journeys: 1) without any danger; 2) without risk of getting some tropical disease; 3) without having to abandon your pet; and 4) above all, without even having to leave the security of the household.
This is what BLAC Foundation Blogs offer you for a very small percentage of what an actual trip would cost you. Typically, one of my three-month trips cost me $33 a day (for food, lodging, and local land transport) and $2,000 for international travel. That is, I usually pay approximately $5,000 to see the sites, meet the people, gain experiences, talk the talk and walk the walk each time I travel to a BLAC World destination.
During my recent three month journey to Central Africa in the summer of 2015, I visited the island of Bioko (Republic of Equatorial Guinea) and the islands of Sao Tomé and Príncipe (Republic of Sao Tomé & Príncipe) where I encountered and chatted with a varied host of interesting people, attended numerous exciting cultural events, saw several museums and art collections, tasted many exotic dishes, and even made a significant contribution to the well-being and happiness of a number of individuals and groups.
What if I were to tell you that you could see and do what I do at the moment I experience it for a mere 2% of what I spent on this journey. That’s right, for just $100 you can accompany me on that journey and see the people I met, attend the cultural events, enjoy the scenery, and feast your eyes on the exotic dishes that I ate. You may not be able to taste or smell the food, but (if desired) you could prepare similar dishes at home in the comfort of your kitchen.
To make this offer sweeter, what would you say if I told you that you would not only be able to go on that journey but on 5 other journeys as well including such exotic destinations as far away as Mozambique, Guatemala (at Christmas time), the Republic of South Africa, and my first trip to Central Africa (that cost me a combined total of $12,000) at no additional cost?
Moroever, what if I were to tell you that you would also receive a small gift from the BLAC World, be enrolled as a life-time member of our Century Club, receive additional blogs as they are posted and play an important role in the BLAC Foundation’s contribution to the well being of groups and individuals similar to those listed under “research activities” on our website? www.blacfoundation.org
Yes you get all that for $100. If, however, you are strapped for cash, you can gain access to our private channel until December 31, 2015 for a mere $25.
In 2016, we are planning to add blogs from Namibia and India as well as from the Galapagos Islands, While Century Club Membership (which includes access to our private channel until years end) will always remain fixed at $100, access to our Private Channel (without Century Club Membership) will cost $50 in 2016.
Watch the following video and think about it!
If you decide to virtually join us on my previous journeys as well as on my upcoming trip to Namibia, South Africa, and possibly Mozambique in December you will, without doubt, become the richer for it.
