In the initial chapter, I outlined the first phase of the Until the End of the World project. I was joined by three close friends: Carlos Martins, Miguel Caimiro, and Arménio Teles, fellow adventure riders from my local community, Nomad’s Trail Club Portugal. We set off from Lisbon, traveling south through Spain, Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia, and Casamance, ultimately reaching Bissau in Guinea. We were driven by two primary motivations: first, to ride our motorcycles to several legendary locations of the Paris Dakar Rally, and secondly, to witness the shift from European culture to the authentic essence of black Africa, immersing ourselves in the vastness of the Sahara Desert and the Arab culture of North Africa.

Caracas in Venezuela is at the same latitude as Bissau in Guinea, so we didn't take a shortcut by flying over different latitudes. It was moving to a different continent, but we still kept our goal of crossing all latitudes by land. This time, some of my friends who traveled with me in the Africa Chapter couldn't participate, so they gave their spots to other friends. The group this time included André Espenica, Rui Gomes, Nuno Cesar, and Adolfo Stonehenge, all fellow riders from the same group, Nomad's Trail Club Portugal. We sent our motorbikes by plane to Caracas and picked them up a few days later to begin riding south again, this time through the Amazon Jungle in Brazil and Peru to get to Machu Picchu and Bolivia. Then we went back to Brazil through the beautiful Pantanal region to São Paulo. Before flying back home from Rio de Janeiro, we left our motorbikes behind to return the folowing year to continue south.

One year after we flew back to Brazil to continue our journey, this time crossing all of Southern Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, the immense Patagonia, to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia in Argentina.

We had gotten to the end of the world, with no more roads beyond, the only way was back north. We crossed the Andes into Chile, started our journey north toward the Atacama Desert, and then turned east to head back to Argentina and our starting point in Brazil to fly back home.

I left the easier one for last. Riding north through Spain, France, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway to reach the northernmost point of the world, Nortkapp, which can be accessed by road. Even Northern than Ancorage in Alasca.

But then I had to return home to Lisbon. For that, I chose a a long route, going through Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France, and Spain, so I could return to my home in Lisbon, Portugal was where I successfully completed my first round-the-world adventure.

Noobai comes from the Creole “Nu bai” which means “Let’s go“

Once the travel bug bites, there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be happily infected until the end of my life.” — Michael Palin.

So, after that big project wrapped up, I felt like I still had more I wanted to do. I ended up starting a motorcycle touring business and then came up with this new idea called nôbaï, which is Creole for "let's go." My plan was to check out other places around the globe that I've always wanted to see.

Project Noobai second chapter was in Magagascar.

You can find everything from lemurs and baobabs to rainforests, deserts, hiking, and diving in Madagascar. This island's incredible biodiversity makes it unlike anywhere else on the planet, which is why people often refer to it as the eighth continent.
