Imagine climbing Everest alone in the winter, without extra oxygen, up the rarely climbed West Ridge route. That's what @jostkobusch plans to do. I interviewed him days before he sets off for Nepal! Watch: https://t.co/CtYlQB7R3K

@danbogs Dan, congrats! We did a 24-day route from Côte d'Ivoire to Cape Town!
Yes, crazy fast.
But I spent 5 years overlanding in every African country from 2013 to 2018, so I can now go at any speed I like :-D

🚨 BREAKING:

THE UNITED NATIONS HAS ADOPTED THE NEW WORLD MAP SHOWING THE TRUE SIZE OF AFRICA THANKS TO TOGO WHO PUSHED THE RESOLUTION.

THE CURRENT MAP FOR CENTURIES WAS DELIBERATELY DRAWN TO MAKE PEOPLE THINK AFRICA IS AS SMALL AS ICELAND WHEN IT IN FACT IS MORE THAN 14 TIMES BIGGER AND EUROPE, THE US, INDIA AND CHINA CAN FIT INTO AFRICA ALL AT ONCE.

THE RESOLUTION WAS VOTED MASSIVELY IN FAVOUR AND ONLY THE USA VOTED AGAINST IT.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE PEOPLE OF AFRICA FOR RECLAIMING THEIR RIGHT AND THANKS ESPECIALLY TO THE REPUBLIC OF TOGO FOR MAKING THE MOVE 👏👏👏

Mushin, Lagos, Nigeria is in a proper pigsty state.

The garbage isn't just sitting on the ground anymore, it has literally become the ground, creating a chaotic, suffocating landscape of filth and lawlessness.

As Africans, we are quick to fight imaginary wars on the internet and chase phantom conspiracies, yet we look right past the literal trash piling up at our doorsteps.

It's time to redirect that outrage toward the real frontline, cleaning up our habits and holding municipal authorities accountable.

With blocked drains and completely shattered infrastructure, life continues as normal, but there is nothing normal about this.

Cleanliness isn't a luxury; it's a human right.

By forcing the next generation to inherit this toxic environment, we aren't just failing them environmentally, we are actively capping their potential and guaranteeing cognitive setbacks before they even reach adulthood.

The cycle of excuses is officially bankrupt. The decay has to stop.

Skyler's crazy driving got us from Morocco 🇲🇦 to South Africa! The trip occurred in 2 parts. We took a 3-year break when we reached Côte d'Ivoire. (No, we didn't live there.)

We got to Cape Town in one piece! What an epic adventure!

Well deserved rest after driving from Côte d'Ivoire to South Africa.
