A British student who had to be evacuated from Kabul after he went there on holiday as Afghanistan fell to the Taliban in August has travelled to South Sudan.
Miles Routledge, 21, flew to Addis Ababa in Ethiopia on Monday before catching a second plane to Juba in South Sudan, according to his Twitter profile.
He praised the climate and locals after his first day, said he had been offered a tribal wife and quipped 'I can honestly say I prefer it to London in many ways'.
Mr Routledge, from Birmingham, was invited to the country by a Sudanese local who followed his escapades in Afghanistan. He plans to spend several weeks hiking in Uganda before crossing into Kenya to visit a fan.
The Foreign Office advises against all travel to South Sudan, which has been ravaged by civil war and violence since becoming in independent in 2011.
The Loughborough physics student, who wears a large silver cross around his neck, has said he has taken 'supplies' to rural communities and handed out cash to people in the streets.

Mr Routledge told the Times he wanted to visit Sudan because he had heard the country was 'chaotic' and wanted to experience it for himself.
He added he had twice tried to travel to the north of the country but was stopped by soldiers - including children brandishing AK47s.
Mr Routledge claimed he was offered a Sudanese wife and a new name by a remote tribe, that he did not identify.
He also claimed to have heard gunshots going off at night, in scenes reminiscent of his time in Afghanistan, thought the reports were rubbished online.
Mr Routledge has previously bragged of visiting Chernobyl, posting pictures in May saying it was two years since he visited the scene of the 1986 nuclear disaster in Ukraine.
