- Since I have officially been living on this continent for over a year now I wanted to make a video highlighting the last year of my life. This video is what I came up with.
To sum it up my original plan was to stay In Africa for a year. During this year I had the fortune of visiting 7 different countries . I got to run my own surf camps and also ran an untrained marathon for a charity I was able to get involved in. I had the craziest year of my life. This is a video showcasing all of that.
Even though the year is up i'm not quite ready to leave this beautiful continent either. So I had an idea. I bought my own car and put a mattress in the back and my plan is to drive it all the way back home to Ireland. I'll use this platform to post longer videos documenting my journey back home so follow along for the journey. :)

As an African this breaks my heart because we can't have this much fun and peace in our own continent, we are barely making means. I guess we're to blame. beautiful content. keep it up!!
Gonna keep showcasing the beauty of Africa while hoping for better days for everyone 💚
Africa has been systemically degraded and exploited for centuries by colonial countries and now by neocolonialism. It most defiently isn’t the fault of the people all though it is our job now to rebuild and take hold of our own reigns
Yeah sadly this is something that I felt too. It's beautiful content, and I could be wrong here but I honestly feel the community of foreigners breaks the barrier to entry with the help of travel and nomad visas. Living like this is unattainable for us locals. We never really get the opportunity to let go because we're clutching just for our weekly survival.
Again the comment resonated with me and it's truly a video I enjoyed ❤
That’s because luxury is making you trapped in an illusion. Take away materialism and you can. Learn to farm and be sustainable. The west is not as good as you think. More money more problems
Have faith that things will get better. While several countries have unrest and problems others like Nigeria are doing well and hopefully so long as there if solidarity between brothers those countries that do well will help the others that struggle.
Dude your storytelling and cinematography skills are seriously crazy
Thaaank you that’s so nice 🙏
American here. I did ayuhuasca in Ecuador in 2021 and lived in Africa 2022-2023, in Mozambique then Kenya. I took surf lessons in Tofo. Traveled around to some other countries including, South Africa, Tanzania, Malawi, eSwatini, Ethiopia and Senegal, (I have family in 4 of them). Anyway, I'm moving back to Mozambique next year. This video was randomly in my recs. You did a good job capturing the precious, natural beauty that is Mother Africa. For me, it's HOME.
Thank you so much man 🙌🏼
the algo brought me this and i'm so happy for it
Thank you my brother 💚 Learning from the best
ayyyy, this vid literally reminded me of you!
This cured my depression and gave me hope and plans for my future! im going too Africa Cheerse m8 ! Keep it goin from Norway
Thank you!! All the best on your travels
I will never be as carefree as this but I am so inspired, WOW Jack!
One of the best if not the best travel videos I've seen in TH-cam! Keep up the good work man!
Wow thanks so much man :)
Saw the title of this video and decided it would be an interesting watch. Was so excited to see that you went to SA and then met Jimeal! I met him 4-5 years ago when I was staying in Muizenberg in South Africa. Really cool to get an update on someone I only met briefly via a random TH-cam video like this. Definitely worth a sub
Ahhh wow that’s so cool!! Thank you for watching brother it’s such a small world once you get moving
The purest soul! I can’t wait to see this hostel you create and the impact you consistently leave on this earth. Thank you for being you Jack. South Africa was calling me and your camp started my journey here.
Thank you so much Jade 💚💚💚
This actually brought me to tears! So much passion for life in such a well shot video. Even the negative points you mention in such a cool way
Thaaaank you so much 🥹
This is so cool! I grew up in Jbay. Never thought I'd click on the video and see faces I grew up seeing in Jbay! Very inspiring video. Keep posting!
Haha small world! thanks man
A seriously amazing and inspiring video🙌🏽 Can’t wait to see more of your journey🌍
Thank you so much!!
Absolutely captivating. Especially loved the raw and real moments shown every now and then. You are going to create a movie someday and show this clip at the very end of ‘how it all began’. True skillset.
Also, I have been planning the exact solo live in your car trip across NZ end of this year and watching your journey was the support I didn’t know I needed. Thank you!
Wow thank you so much that means a lot. Enjoy NZ you’re going to have the best time!!
From Kerry and I have a one way ticket booked to South Africa in September! Iv been feeling a bit anxious about backpacking it solo although iv been backpacking solo for years. This video was so calming and beautiful and now I am nothing but excited!! Definitely gonna stay in the hostel where it all started for your surf camp! Thanks for sharing this video was incredible

Absolutely love this. As a South African and someone who loves JBay, It is so cool to see it showcased skillfully and with so much heart. Thanks for not only coming here and enjoying all the natural beauty but for getting involved with NGO's and raising awareness. We need more travellers like you. I can't wait to see what comes next for you as your journey through Africa.

Safe travels

I remember being 15 years old, kissing an American girl on the beach in Jeffrey's Bay. She was my first kiss. Emma, if you're reading this, wishing you all the best.
First time coming across your work. Loved the video. Resonates a lot with me - I solo travelled Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador last year.
So many adventures to have. Curious to try Africa!
Thanks man! South America is fantastic but if you ever get the chance Africa can’t be beat

This is brilliant content Jack, I came over from Instagram, glad I did. In a dream world, I would travel the world and make documentaries about all the places & people I met on the way. I imagine it would probably look a lot like this. Keep it up. I can't wait to see the next instalment, watching made me so tempted to ditch the day job and head to the nearest airport 😂
Thanks so much for watching honestly that’s made my day 💚
Amazing bro!
this was amazing
I'm your 6k supporter! Sweet. Keep it up 🎉
Ill never forget it
I did this, too! Only it was cocaine laced with MDMA. And instead of moving to Africa I just spent a week straight writing a 4,000 page long Battlestar Galactica fan fic.
So the same thing really :)
Very inspiring
Great video
Aw this video is so cute
Awesome music choices, fits the vibe of the video so well. Do you have a list of the songs used?
