Africa Beyond the Map: Waiting to Discover a Continent for Myself

Africa is still ahead of me. I am waiting for the moment I cross into the continent and begin discovering the landscapes, people, cultures and unexpected stories that no map can fully reveal.

The Journey Begins Before the First Step

Preparations are underway for the HavikWay long-distance walking expedition — a journey planned to begin in Amsterdam and continue across countries, continents and cultures. Before the first step is taken, months of planning, testing and preparation are required.

Read story
Field record

More than kilometres between two points.

HAVIKWAY is documented as it is lived: through places, people, changing conditions and the decisions that shape the road. These are the four threads that hold the journal together.

01
People

Encounters along the way

Conversations, hospitality, local knowledge and the people who turn a route into a human story.

02
Place

Landscapes and everyday life

Cities, villages, roads, mountains and the small details that become visible only at walking speed.

03
Conditions

Weather, borders and reality

Heat, rain, terrain, logistics, border conditions and the practical realities that can change a plan.

04
Lessons

Decisions made on the road

What worked, what changed and what the expedition teaches through experience rather than prediction.

The journal is not written to make every day look extraordinary. It exists to preserve what the journey actually becomes.
