Why I'm cycling across Africa for 12 months

[@ryanhaddad6815]

Oh My God, I tend to forget such people exist on this Planet... Never ever think you'll be alone in the middle of the desert, Robs. Never. If your life is a movie, then this is where it starts

[@RobertoHelou]

So glad you were part of this video. Thank you habibi♥️ So much

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).

[@ayb1470]

Hi Rob, I've come straight from the video you did with Sonny on food and the refugees in Lebanon. I am so excited to see where your adventures take you, even if i am 9months late. I hope it all goes well. Much love from a stay at home mum who can't wait to adventure with her kiddos.

Understanding yourself while exploring the world by living creativity and sustainability is truly an authentic purpose. Your videos and your mission will motivate many to find their purpose and feel fully alive in this magnificently unique wonder called life.

[@lesliemctavish4300]

I just came across you today Rob! It is like a rock of truth is on my gut. It's love and light your whole journey through! That's what I witnessed in one of your videos. I'm really blown away by your journey and the commoradery you experienced along the way. 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! Xx

[@Namibiets]

Awesome video and great job editing it all. It looks super professional in the league of BBC and NatGeo!

[@harrrby_8971]

This video might've single handedly change my life forever, I felt like every word you said you said about your passions and desires described me and what I want to achieve in life, I actually started tearing up mid-way through the video, so thank you for blessing us with an extraordinary video like that, keep on doing it, and keep motivating people to find their selves. 🙏🏼💫 Stay hustlin' my friend 🙌🏽🌎

[@CocZoRr]

Go, Rob, Go!!! I’ll be here watching your whole journey! Greetings from Romania

[@cthoniccassandra7526]

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! ❤

[@hibs0810]

This is fantastic! I can't wait to see your journey💜

[@danieldreves4383]

This was absolutely brilliant! Loved this video so much

[@akashicskies3732]

This is so awesome I can relate to nearly all the points made in this video. I feel I’ve perpetually been in the explore phase despite almost completing my masters, having a house, all stuff that just feels like a hang up, it’s all been in the name of finding meaning. Props to you for taking on such an amazing journey. This inspires me to make some longer bike rides this upcoming season to see what i learn. Happy travels!

[@sangomoon5456]

This is amazing! IM subbed and ready to watch all episodes!
