About
Hey YOU!
What a pleasure to have you here! My name is Adam Jacobs. I'm from Cape town, South Africa. I love eating apples and chasing sunsets and riding my bike EVERYWHERE - in Africa for now.
​
In July 2024 I left home to embark on my pedal around the African continent and I am still on the road hahah. I have become rather immersed in the journey and might have forgotten I still need to cycle home. All these beautiful countries keep roping me in, and honestly, I don't fight it.
​
The ride is a testament to the mental health battles that many face in this day and age. It is all about facing one's fears, overcoming hardships, learning to appreciate the smaller things in life and realizing you are never alone in this world.
Along the way, I’m aiming to raise R100,000 for Waves for Change, a local South African surfing NPO doing deeply important work in mental health and social development through sport. They create safe spaces in the ocean for young people who need them most — places where confidence, connection, and healing can quietly take root

“We Africans
We, the scatterlings of the rising sun
We, all proud Africans, every one
Celebrate with us
For our future fate is far from done
And we are all Africans, every one” - Wayne Visser
​
Every message, every share, every contribution keeps the wheels turning and the cameras rolling. If you’re feeling a deeper pull toward the project and would like to become a partner, my inbox is always open.​​
