Impressive, Geoffshing! If I had a security background I'd try Iraq as well.
For anybody: sell your car in West Africa with a profit. Bring back some Dogon masks or diamonds and sell back home. Trade anything that is small to take along, but produces big margins. Publish a press article. Get sponsorship from your local travel agent / expedition shop.
Most important: don't mix with backpackers or villagers. Stay in the lobbies of the best hotels and wait for the lucky contact.
A RTW-trip is the best university one can attend.
