Lifelong travel is the dream for some people including Japie.

Japie van Deventer is a proud and passionate ambassador of his home country, South Africa, not surprisingly claiming it as the most beautiful country in the world.

"It has just about every type of natural landscape to offer... from spectacular mountains to pristine beaches, from untouched forests to wide open savannahs... throw in all the wild animals that you always see on National Geographic and it becomes pretty obvious that one almost gets born a nature, wildlife and outdoor lover."
