    Have you heard about Kazmierz NOWAK - he crossed Africa on bike from North to South and BACK from 1931 to 1936!
    That was his route SOUTH: Start: listopad 1931 - Trypolis, Bengazi, Tobruk (Libia) → Kair (Egipt) → Chartum, Malakal (Sudan Anglo-Egipski) → Kongo Belgijskie → Elisabethville (Rodezja Północna) → Rodezja Południowa → Pretoria, Przylądek Igielny, meta: maj 1934 (Związek Południowej Afryki)
    That was his route NORTH: Start: maj 1934 - Przylądek Igielny, Kapsztad (Związek Południowej Afryki), Windhuk (Afryka Południowo-Zachodnia) → Angola → Leopoldville, Brazzaville (Kongo Belgijskie) → Fort Lamy (Francuska Afryka Równikowa) → Francuska Afryka Zachodnia → Algier, meta: listopad 1936 (Algieria).

    Cycling was in my past, and I totally get what you said about the experience. Yes, cycling is always like living the dream. I remember that I use to dream about it at night and then the next day, I couldn't wait and I didn't!

    I just came here from the video you did with Best Ever Food Review Show on Syrian refugee camps and I was absolutely fascinated the second your video began autoplaying on your homepage. The cinematography, music, backstory--everything felt grandiose. It makes sense it would when you have this big expedition to accomplish! I know I'm nearing the end of your odyssey for Project Africa, but I immediately subscribed. With how much work was put into this, I was shocked by the subscriber count. Your passion for culture and anthropology was palpable through the screen, and while I wasn't here for this entire journey, I hope to see more videos from you from anywhere that you are called to go! ❤
