Kamran: “Since starting my first bicycle tour from Germany to Pakistan in 2011, one continent that has always been on my mind is Africa. I have been reading books about it for about ten years, but I didn't feel confident to face the challenge.

“After having cycled Europe, Asia, and South & North America, next up, I would love to experience Africa and the Middle East for their rich culture, hospitality, and wild landscape.

“So, at the beginning of December, I am flying to Oman and starting my trip from there. From Muscat, I plan to cycle to UAE, and Saudi Arabia and then ferry across the Red Sea to Sudan. From Sudan, I plan to pedal down to South Africa.

“How long will it take? Maybe, a year or two? I have no idea. I haven't planned. All I want is to break free and become lost again on the road. I want to listen to the stories of strangers. I want infinite landscapes to fill my eyes and soul. I want to go so far away that I cannot even hear myself.

“Deep inside, I have the desire to suffer as well. To dissolve my ego and start a journey toward nothingness again.

“I want to go back to where it all started, tracing the footsteps of the first human species who left Africa with a dream to have a new life. I want to experience a moment of silence there. Above all, I want to know the beliefs of people I meet along the way and find out what connects and divides us on the human level.”
