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 but I have something far more interesting to share with YOU. I am cycling around the African continent in 2024. Well to put it a bit better I’ll embark on my journey in 2024 and hopefully be back by 2050….. Haha just kidding. I should be back home in about 2 years.
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. I am aiming to raise R100 000, during the duration of my journey, for a local Surfing NPO ( Non-Profit Organization) Waves for Change. This is only possible with YOUR help. Waves for Change consciously addresses prevalent issues, mental health and social development, in South Africa through sport.
“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
I hope you stay along for the ride!

He is in charge of being the magician in Cape Town doing all things content related - likely dressed in an outfit that a safari guide would wear.
