I cycled across the Sahara desert

Welcome back to #ProjectAfrica and the third episode in Sudan, finally! Get ready for lots of sun, sand, and sweat. And solitude. The Sahara desert is no joke, and I couldn't have made it without my friends Rob and Tim, as well as all the locals we met along the way. They taught us important life lessons and how to survive out here. Thanks for watching, enjoy :)
