Pascal Staeuble

I'm so ashamed of myself that i didn't get to write anything about my friend Pascal Staeuble, who i met on my trip to Jordan, 2 km before a city called Abou Redeis.

Pascal Staeuble is a Swiss gentleman who happened to be cycling his way to South Africa, and i was lucky enough to run into him, have a chat, exchange emails and take a picture.

When i saw him 400m away i thought my mind was starting to play games and i have been on the road for 3 days now, and this is an illusion. A cyclist on the other way in Egypt, is a coincidence that happens as frequent as the moon Eclipses we hear about those days.

Pascal has started his trips like 7-8 months ago now, it was 5 when we met 2.5 months ago. He started from Switzerland and heading to South Africa. He's in Ethiopia now, he's filling my life with inspirations and hope just knowing people like him still exist.

I'm sure he's an inspiration to all of you as well...
