Youssef Sahsah

Youssef Sahsah, a 33-year-old adventurer from Laayoune, Morocco, is on his way back home after an incredible journey across Africa that began in 2018. Riding his bicycle over 45,000 kilometres, Sahsah has explored more than 31 African countries, including Malawi.

Sahsah set off with a mission to discover the rich diversity of Africa and its cultures, immersing himself in the traditions, landscapes, and lives of the people he encountered along the way. His journey has been marked by a spirit of curiosity and respect for the vast array of African societies.

During his travels, Sahsah crossed paths with Nadine Johmann, a 34-year-old cyclist from Germany who had also embarked on a similar adventure. 

Johmann had cycled from her home country to Africa over the span of a year. The two connected through their shared love of exploration and decided to join forces for the remainder of their journey.

Now, the two cyclists are returning to Morocco together, a testament to the friendships and cultural exchanges that journeys like theirs can inspire. 

Their shared adventure has not only brought them closer to the heart of Africa but has also deepened their appreciation for the beauty and resilience of the continent.
