JOURNEY TO DREAMS

A. Hasan Söylemez is a Turkish journalist and an explorer. He is also a dream
follower. He tries to make his dreams real, so he travels across the continent of
Africa by Sahara, his bike. He plans to see 54 countries
including 6 island states and travel nearly 60,000 km in
three years. He often shares his experiences on social
media during his journey.

route includes many deserts. Sand storms and strong
