A KZN couple, Lance and Skylar Deetlef, have flipped the script when it comes to living your dream life. 

The married couple, who tied the knot last July, has always had a passion for travelling. 

They have embarked on a backpacker's dream travelling through Africa on public transport.

"Deetlefs said they are in the process of moving to Ireland for work but got tired with the “rat-race” in the meantime and decided that they needed a break." (MSN)

The Deetlefs set off on their trip around Africa in February 2023 and began their journey from South Africa to Uganda. 

Since they could not afford travel insurance for international travel, they decided to explore their continent.

"The couple’s three main goals are to travel from South to North of Africa; try out every mode of transport in Africa and indulge in all the cultural experiences and embrace every part of each country they visit." (MSN)
