My name is Max and this is my bicycle which I'm going to ride around Africa.
2
Man, I can't make intros like this.
3
But the statement is true.
4
So let's hop on the bike and I'll explain a bit more.
5
Now, where am I?
6
I am in the northern African nation of Tunisia in a city called Gables.
7
I don't know much about it.
8
Here we have the flag.
9
And yeah, I chose the city as the starting point for my journey across Africa.
10
Let's go.
11
Now how did I end up here?
12
You know the last video I was in Afghanistan or Pakistan.
13
But if you watched the last video you will notice that I had a bit of an accident there.
14
Watch out of the traffic.
15
Oh it's quite busy.
16
Let me get out of the city first and then I'll explain a bit.
17
Now if you watched my last video you will remember
18
that I was in Afghanistan and I crossed into Uzbekistan
19
and I didn't have the best time there because I was a bit sick and I also had that crash,
20
the crash with the car.
21
So and after I arrived in Uzbekistan it was also like 40 degrees Celsius
22
and you know So that area of the world right now is a bit difficult regarding geopolitics.
23
You know, I wanted to go back to Europe,
24
but I would have to go either through Russia or through Iran.
25
And I would have preferred to go to Iran,
26
but after the recent developments there,
27
it was no longer possible to go independently.
28
Now you can only go with a tour guide.
29
And so that left Russia,
30
but Russia there have been multiple cases of tourists being arrested recently,
31
also like bike travelers.
32
So that was not a great option either.
33
And yeah, that pretty much...
34
And the fact that I also hadn't seen my family in like over a year,
35
basically made me decide that I will fly home.
36
Back to Germany.
37
And in Germany I spent like a month or so,
38
you know, reconnecting with friends and family.
39
And I also got some upgrades regarding my bike or my camera gear.
40
And yeah, then I had to decide where to go next.
41
And I decided on Africa.
42
And here we are in Tunisia.
43
It is quite nice here.
44
It looks like we have some fast food over there.
45
I haven't had breakfast yet,
46
so let's give it a shot.
47
Hello.
48
Do you speak English or English?
49
Do you speak English?
50
I speak English.
51
I speak English.
52
I'll take sandwich.
53
Two sandwiches.
54
Two sandwiches.
55
Shawarma?
56
Yes.
57
Thank you very much.
58
Is it enough?
59
Five.
60
Five.
61
Alright.
62
Let's take a break right here under the tree and I'll explain a bit about the plans for Africa.
63
By the way, this is how my bike looks like now.
64
I made quite a few changes.
65
So if you're interested in a gear video, let me know.
66
Because I got some new stuff.
67
Like this.
68
This right here is a camping chair.
69
Special one.
70
Easy to set up and a lot more comfortable than just sitting on the ground.
71
Now I can have my breakfast like this.
72
hello what are you doing first? in water you have water
73
for me
74
for my children
75
on the bicycle onto the bicycle 말을 sayFE you can drink
76
yes of course Japanese give me Thought You can drink It's water
77
you don't want you have coffee OK in water in the water the struggle with the languages continues.
78
The people here speak both Arabic and French.
79
I don't really know any Arabic and just a few phrases in French,
80
but not really enough to have a conversation.
81
So I'll go to some more French-speaking countries and so I'll definitely need to improve that.
82
And let's talk about the plans.
83
So I'm in Tunisia right now and the goal is to make it to South Africa,
84
which is gonna take me a while.
85
And the route that I'm planning to take is across West Africa.
86
So next I'll go to Algeria,
87
then to Morocco, and then through Mauritania,
88
towards Senegal, and then all of West Africa.
89
And over there people also oftentimes speak French.
90
And then I'll continue towards Cameroon,
91
Angola, and then Namibia, and eventually South Africa, hopefully.
92
So it's gonna be a long journey.
93
I estimate it's gonna take me at least one and a half years.
94
And yeah, I'll continue documenting my journey and I want to of course thank you for the support so far.
95
It's been overwhelming honestly, much better than I imagined it to ever be.
96
So yeah, it's gonna be an exciting journey I had and I can't wait to get started.
97
The first impression of Tunisia was pretty decent,
98
The people are friendly, the food is good.
99
But one thing is this, that I don't like.
100
There's quite a lot of trash around everywhere.
101
Which is a bit of a shame, honestly.
102
But other than that, I'm enjoying it.
103
So let's see what the country has to offer.
104
I made it to the next town, Nouvelle Matemata.
105
Let's see if we can find some water here.
106
Because it's still very hot, like 35 degrees.
107
In winter it would be more manageable.
108
All right.
109
Okay, thank you very much.
110
That market was pretty well stocked and one of these two liter bottles is less than 30 cents,
111
which is a good deal.
112
I just turned onto the smaller road right here
113
and yeah there's not a whole lot going on in the countryside of Tunisia.
114
I believe it's because it's the midday heat and most people are indoors
115
and they usually go out when it gets dark but it's very peaceful.
116
And we've got some hills ahead.
117
Small but better than nothing.
118
No traffic at all.
119
Love it.
120
I just love places like these rolling hills,
121
not a single person around,
122
empty roads, just me in the middle of nature.
123
What more can you ask for?
124
Let's have a look at that!
125
There's a cave there.
126
Let's have a look.
127
So what's interesting about this part of Tunisia is that you have these caves where people still live in nowadays.
128
Of course not all of them,
129
but in some, like this one is abandoned.
130
And I would love to camp in one of those.
131
Oh wow, look at this.
132
Dude, that is crazy.
133
Wow, it's really fascinating.
134
These are dating back hundreds of years, of course.
135
And nowadays, there are still some people living in them in some places,
136
but not here, for example.
137
So I might as well camp here, right?
138
I mean, I'm gonna have nice shade from right now until tomorrow.
139
the whole time if I go inside the cave.
140
Yeah, first night in Africa.
141
How about that for a campsite?
142
Let's go.
143
How sick is that?
144
I believe these houses or like groups of houses are called Xar.
145
K-S-A-R.
146
And yeah, they were used by the Berbers, by the Amazigh.
147
The adventure of course is that it doesn't get as hot inside there.
148
This video was not meant to be like the first proper travel video
149
but rather just an update video on where I've been
150
and what I'm planning to do but I think we're off to a nice start.
151
So yeah I'm gonna set up I'm gonna pick a cave and then set up my tent.
152
Alrighty, I picked my cave.
153
Unfortunately in most of them there was quite a bit of trash but this one isn't too bad
154
So let's put up the tent.
155
And here we go.
156
How cool is that?
157
First night in Africa.
158
The sun is starting to set,
159
but there was one more thing I wanted to talk about.
160
But let's do so while we make a campfire.
161
It's quite windy.
162
How amazing is that?
163
And yeah, what else I wanted to talk about was charity.
164
Ever since I started growing on YouTube and thanks to your guys' support,
165
I can basically afford to continue traveling this way.
166
And because of that I thought,
167
why not give something back to those in need.
168
Now that I'm in Africa,
169
there are many of those people who could use some support.
170
I was personally thinking about maybe building a school or something somewhere and I wanted to hear your guys' thoughts on that.
171
Maybe you have some ideas or recommendations.
172
Because I think it would be great to give back a little.
173
I received so much hospitality in all these countries.
174
And yeah, with the community I think we could make something special happen.
175
So let me know your thoughts.
176
Fire is almost out.
177
Time for some noodles.
178
Okay, before it gets too dark, I'm gonna peace out.
179
Thanks for watching.
180
Subscribe if you haven't and I'm gonna see you tomorrow.
181
See ya!

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
