Dear Friends and Followers,

As I sit down to write this, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude and a deep sense of connection to each of you. This journey we’ve shared has taken turns I never expected, yet your unwavering support has remained a constant source of strength and hope. Life has a way of reshaping our paths, and mine has shifted once again. After reflection, renewed determination, and a last-ditch embrace of what it means to truly exist, I’ve decided to continue pursuing one of my greatest dreams: circumnavigating Africa. I’m going to give it everything I have left.

But to take this next step, I need your help.

 My faithful truck, EX, has been more than a vehicle — it’s been my home, my companion, and the embodiment of freedom and exploration. To continue this journey, I need to raise funds to repair EX and prepare it for the challenges ahead.

Securing consistent work has been difficult, and while I’ve taken whatever jobs I can find, the financial gap remains larger than I can close alone. Your encouragement has carried me through some of my hardest moments. Your messages, kindness, and belief in me have been the fuel that kept me moving forward even when everything felt uncertain.

So today, with humility and hope, I’m asking for your support once more. Any contribution — no matter how small — will help me continue the journey we’ve been building together. I want to keep sharing the stories, the discoveries, the beauty, and the humanity of Africa with all of you.

Thank you for being my community, my family, and my anchor. I am eternally grateful for each and every one of you. With all my heart, thank you. Let’s keep going — together.
