In 2013 Elias Vrochidis set out to explore the African continent and the Middle East on his small, old motorcycle. For ten months, in the most difficult part of the journey, West and Central Africa, Christina Pefani accompanied him on her own motorcycle. When she flew back to Greece, Ilias worked for two and a half months in a restaurant in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Then, he continued his journey alone in South and East Africa, but also in the Middle East. He returned to Greece in 2016, having visited 39 countries and having covered 96.000 kilometers (more than twice the circumference of the earth)!
With this book he wants to transport the reader to the dusty and tormented continent of Africa, familiarizing him with the cultures he meets along the way, the people he meets, their problems, their joys, the wild nature in which they live, but and the adventures he faces. Its purpose is to break down the stereotypes that we all have about this corner of the earth.
Elias spent 223 nights in his tent, in nature, and another six in police stations! Stayed in 17 pool villas. He was hosted by royal advisers, blacks, whites, mixed, locals, immigrants, Israelis, Palestinians... His goal is always to know every side of the places he visits and not just the one that is usually shown...
