Abdelhadi Cecradi, a Moroccan traveler paved his way through African countries on a bike in his four years and 3 months journey.
The 25-year-old adventurer started this journey on July 7, 2018.
“I crossed 34 countries from South Africa to Egypt,” said Abdelhadi.
Africa to this traveler isn’t just a continent; it is his source of “love and motivation.”
“During my trip, I passed through 34 countries, covering a distance of 44.000 kilometers in no less than 4 years and 3 months.”
Cecradi said in an interview with Hespress En that the best people he has met were Sudanese people.
He explained that the travel cycling culture in Morocco is not widely spread and sadly does not have the respect of everyone, saying that it is looked down on by car and truck drivers all over the country.
As for the hardships that one might deal with in such an adventure, Cecradi told Hespress EN that it was particularly difficult to integrate with Ethiopian people –who aren’t usually welcoming of new people.
“I was in the desert of Namibia and the desert of Sudan and having access to water on the road was very difficult.”
Cercadi’s travel was mostly self-funded, a struggle that many Moroccan travelers who do not belong to groups and have no big sponsors.
“Most of my daily expenses were out of my pocket, some were funded by private companies and others were given to me by family and friends as a donation,” said the traveler.
Abdelhadi shares his journey with almost 63K followers on Instagram. He documents his adventures and shares pictures, reels, and stories with people who get to open up to new things through his eyes.
He also vlogs in a longer format on Youtube, where detailed videos can be found of him telling many stories that happened in his travels, as they were occurring.
