Publisher's Review
“I can’t help it,
“I have to go to Africa after work today.”

The expiration of the lease and the Sabbath month
A special record exchanged for a trip to Africa!


When you want to escape the gray everyday life and encounter a world of vivid colors, the word that comes to mind is 'travel'.
The author was no different from others.
The author, who had willingly endured inconveniences and traveled to dozens of countries, used the 'variables' of the lease expiration and the sabbatical month as 'opportunities' for travel.
And on that occasion, I captured all the beauty of the African continent in ‘I Left Work in Africa Because I Had No Home to Return to.’

"I Left Work for Africa Because I Had No Home to Return to" is a record of walking and seeing Africa's representative landmarks and the grandeur of nature with my own two eyes.
The author calls himself a "Korean standard" person, but the experiences he gained after working in Africa are anything but "standard."

The abundant photos that accompany the vivid travelogue are another attraction of this book.
From everyday life in Africa to the natural landscapes you can only find in Africa, you can get a glimpse of Africa from A to Z through the author's eyes.

If you are tired of the repetitive daily routine and want to escape somewhere, then "I Left Work for Africa" ​​is the perfect book for you, which takes advantage of life's variables to head to Africa.
We hope you will join the author on a journey to share the vitality of life.
