I took a flight from Anchorage to Seattle and hitchhiked again from there, across Canada, back to New York. I spent three months in Rotterdam, preparing for a bicycle journey around Africa. During the eleven-month long return journey from Africa to Poland, I worked in Greece, Switzerland and the Netherlands. Additionally, I covered over 4, km using public transport and cars while following this route.
On my way back to Cairo from the Kenyan-Ugandan border, I covered about 7, km, travelling by truck, train, boat and bus. Cumulatively, between 9th of January and 2nd of December , I covered over 22, km in Africa, using various means of transport.

The very first time, the idea of travelling across Africa on a bicycle entered my mind was somewhere on a ship on Lake Nasser, or perhaps on the train from Wadi Halfa to Khartoum. It was then when I fell for Africa hook, line and sinker, and I desperately wanted to return there. That time around alone and for longer. Back then I had some ideas about travelling across Africa, but they were pretty vague. Where to go was by no means clear. I believed that everywhere would be interesting.
In time, as my travel plans started to crystallise, basic questions kept emerging, and the answers soon followed. Where to start? As it turned out, the choice fell on wherever it would be cheapest for me to get with my bike.
How long should my journey last? No limits, depending only on how far my desire, health, stamina, and money would go. How would I return?
