Throwback to wild camping in the Sahara in Tunisia 🇹🇳. That was easily one of the coldest nights I’ve had on this trip. temps dropped below 5. @elinewijstma went full superhuman and slept outside - I guess a good sleeping bag goes a long way hahah. @jetrakettt and I were not brave enough to embrace the cold and we set up are tents. I climbed into my sleeping bag and shivered all night long haha but what an experience 😅

A journey across the Sahara 🇲🇷.

#solotravel #travelafrica #mauritania #mauritania🇲🇷

In the Mauritanian Sahara…
there is a train.

Not for comfort.
Not for speed.

Three and a half kilometers of iron and dust,
cutting through one of the harshest places on Earth.

It carries ore from the heart of the desert,
and those who live among the whispers of the sand.

For some…
this train is not a journey.

It is a lifeline.

One of the few steep hills here in Tunisia, Piste Rommel, is an old WWII mountain track carved into the Redeyef–Gafsa mountains of southwest Tunisia. It was used by the Axis forces — mainly German and Italian troops under a dude named Erwin Rommel — as they moved through North Africa during the final stages of the desert campaign. The Ally’s were closing in on them and their only way was to retreat south.

This route gave them a somewhat hidden passage through the mountains as they tried to escape the tightening pressure of the Allied advance. Today it’s just dust, cliffs, super steep sections and quiet desert wind… but it’s wild to imagine tanks, convoys, and soldiers once moved along the same path we cycled on.

What do you think of this fix?

DIY fix a broken a rack! Boy Scouts really came in handy hey😅👼. Pretty simple fix for something that could be disastrous on the road. Back home I probably would’ve just replaced the rack but something this journey has really thought me is to be resourceful. There’s almost always a solution and when you don’t have access to the right tools or new products….well…. Make a plan bruh!

Day one of my 1,000 km ride across Tunisia, with a mate, ended in a rather unexpected way😂😂

We found ourselves inside a rare Stambéli ceremony — Stambéli is a healing ritual rooted in the communities brought here from West & Central Africa centuries ago — a ceremony of rhythm, trance, and reconciling with the spirits.

An unforgettable start to this journey.

As the temperatures cool down and the fields start to green again, Tunisia steps into a special time of year — olive harvest season.

At @samana.valley , it’s a small team with a mammoth of a task. Six weeks of moving through the groves, tree by tree, harvesting every branch by hand. It’s a massive effort, and honestly, a seriously impressive one.

What makes it beautiful is the people. The way everyone comes together, working side by side, connected to the land and to each other. It’s easy to see why Tunisians look forward to this season

Interesting fact: Tunisia is the 5th biggest producer of olive oil in the world and the biggest in Africa.

Grateful to witness it.

1050km. 13 days. 11 days riding, 2 days pretending to rest hahah.

A mate had been wanting to join for a section of my ride for a long time, and with two weeks off between jobs, the timing finally lined up. We were meant to do this in Morocco, but with the embassy taking forever, I just said, “Screw it — let’s ride in Tunisia instead.” Honestly… best decision we could’ve made. Things just worked out, and she flew in.

On day 3 we met another cyclist in Gafsa, and she joined for the rest of the trip. We rode through some of the most insane landscapes, through one of the largest marine outcrops in Africa, crossed ancient Amazigh villages, slept in a ksar, and camped under the stars in the Sahara.

Southern Tunisia is out of this world. As you sail down from the capital a beautiful silence fills the air. Landscapes stretch into the fading horizon and the stars come out to dance at night.

Riding with two absolute legends was exactly what I needed and I’m forever grateful — and it’s left me fired up for the next section of the expedition.

This trip was one for the books. Tunisia… you were magic. 🇹🇳🌍🔥

Getting down and dirty on some back roads in Tunisia! A mate has come to join me for a 10 day loop around the country with our eyes set on camping in the Sahara! The weather is amazing and the spirits are high! Stoked to finally be exploring this country on my bike and with a mate!

Everyone talks about #tunisia🇹🇳 beaches — fair enough, they’re unreal.

But my favourite part? The medinas.
Chaos, tranquility, beauty — history and present life all in one.
Walking through them, you’re just transported.
It’s unbelievable. Unreal. Insane in the membrane.

Super stoked to be in #tunisia 🇹🇳

It’s been incredible so far — beautiful people, epic landscapes, and some seriously good energy.

Currently staying at @samanavalley, a permaculture farm just outside Sousse, and it’s honestly truly a slice of paradise 🌿

Samana isn’t just for volunteers — if you’re looking for a tranquil escape, or you’re keen to get your hands dirty and connect with the land, this is the place to be. It’s got a beautiful energy.

If you ever find yourself in Tunisia, come check out the amazing work happening here — and give @samana.valley a follow to see more of what’s happening! 🌞

Can’t wait to see what this place looks like in a few years!!

My farewell to Ethiopia has to go down as one of the wildest stories of my life. From being stuck at the airport with the most unhelpful staff ever, to getting on a call with the managing director of the airline. Life will throw you in some wild situations hey hahahah

On a scale of 1-10, how wild do you think this is?!?

Also, @dukamocoffee , that was a seriously tasty cappuccino… wowie 🥵😮‍💨

Way up in the Ethiopian highlands, 2000m above sea level. The air is thin, the hills are endless, and the beauty is beyond words.

I stopped to capture the landscape when this gentleman stepped out of the bushes, walked a few meters, and struck a pose with the most radiant smile. We greeted, exchanged nothing more than presence, and parted ways—but the moment stayed with me all day in the form of an endless smile 😊 .

A brief encounter, a beautiful soul, and a reminder of the beauty found on the open road.

An ode to northern Kenya.

There is a magical silence in Northern Kenya that feels alive. It wraps its arms around you, holds you close until your heartbeat sings louder than the whistling of the winds. Time seems to stands still, and with every pedal stroke you begin to feel more alive - almost born again.

When you drop down from Marsabit the landscape changes into desert. Yet 125km later, the landscape bursts into a million shades of green, each bush and field glowing with life.

Aside from being chased by guys with machetes near Marsabit. Every interaction - whether with the young or the old - carried a special stillness, kindness and connection to the land unlike anything I had seen.

The +300km I cycled through in this region is a section I will never forget.

Get Out There and Ge Moving!

There is a magical silence in Northern Kenya that feels alive. It wraps its arms around you, holds you close until your heartbeat sings louder than the whistling of the winds. Time seems to stands still, and with every pedal stroke you begin to feel more alive - almost born again.

When you drop down from Marsabit the landscape changes into desert. Yet 125km later, the landscape bursts into a million shades of green, each bush and field glowing with life.

Aside from being chased by guys with machetes near Marsabit. Every interaction - whether with the young or the old - carried a special stillness, kindness and connection to the land unlike anything I had seen.

The +300km I cycled through in this region is a section I will never forget.

Get Out There and Ge Moving!

Day 4 in Ethiopia goes down as one of the scariest experiences of my life. Happy it all ended up fine but that definitely rattled me a bit.❤️

Day 1: Cycling across Ethiopia 🇪🇹. Do you think I will get my money back?🫠

PS: I didn’t just refuse to pay — I asked to see the actual law and why that specific amount. The moment they suggested we negotiate the price, I knew it was all nonsense.
