When 20-year old Othmane Zolati left his home in El Jadida, Morocco, he had never been anywhere. But he had always dreamed of reaching the southernmost tip of Africa. Having finished his education in engineering, he figured now was his time to turn his dream into a reality. Setting out on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, Othmane traveled by bicycle, motor bike, mini-bus, foot and skateboard. He hitched rides on trucks and faced deserts, armed conflicts, malaria, breakdowns, arrests and hunger. After 24 countries and 1398 days later, he returns home, a changed man having experienced an Africa that's not usually seen — an Africa full of ordinary people, connecting through music, food and football (soccer), a thoroughly positive, charming and engaging world.
