Around Africa for the next 3 years - 05/07/21 09:07 PM

Hello friends,
I am going to leave Europe this autumn.
Starting in Berlin, Germany I will travel south crossing France and Spain into Morocco from where I want to go south. I am aiming to surround the continent in the next roughly 3 years, that said I want to go with the weather.
I will take my time to volunteer/help some places and get to know people/culture/life.
Meeting and inspiring grace, love and peace in every being I meet is my actual reason for going.
If you would like to join a life changing trip - shout! wink

Ambitious! I am counting on the Chinese to build more roads in order that I can drive to SA in a car. I devoured the blog of freewheely https://freewheely.com/2012/10/ who "only" drove to SA from Switzerland taking the Western route. Are you planning to have a blog?

The Freewheely page was already on my "watchlist".
Especially for route considerations.

I will make stops for acclimatizing and volunteering to help people I meet. So, I might deviate from any planned route to share living with people for a project/time. In Senegal for instance I am looking forward to help out in a community with teaching and in a permaculture project (already made contact).

I am not aiming to ride for riding but to live on the bike and road while helping people along the way. Helping and changing the world for one person at a time is all it takes for me. Would a billion people start this tomorrow we wold be done within a week laugh
Me alone, it will take a little longer. I am willing to dedicate my remaining life to it.

I am willing and able to document my journey on social media (tubes, insta, blog) and in case it works - it works wink

I hope to share some information later in the summer here.
