bertinUniting Africa
One continent, 54 countries, and a hello in every single one.
Right now I am on a challenge: visit all 54 African countries, make one real friend in each, and learn one word of every local language. All of it happens here, virtually, one 3D room and one video at a time.
Countries
Every country on the continent gets its own 3D room on this site.
Friend per country
I make one real friend in every country I enter. The friendship outlasts the project.
Word per language
I leave every country able to say one word in its local language, starting with my own.
Who I am
I am Bertin Muhombo Victoire, a son of Goma in DR Congo, raised on the shore of Lake Kivu. I never saw a child from my city on television, so I put myself on YouTube. The world has watched me 15 million times, and I am still going.
The exact length of every video, for years. Not one second of filler.
Views across the channel so far. Goma watches me back, and so does the world.
One new video every single day. No exceptions, no excuses.
The Challenge
100 days, 54 countries, no shortcuts.
I cross the continent without leaving my desk. Every country becomes a 3D room, every room opens with a new video, every video brings a new friend.
Rooms live right now
This counter reads the tour itself. It moves when a door opens, never before.
I start from home. Room 1 is DR Congo, the pilot room of the whole tour.
One hundred days, one video a day. If a day has my name on it, it gets a video.
Every African country gets its own 3D room here, from Algeria to Zimbabwe.
One real friend and one local word per country. The friendship outlasts the project.
Miguel Masaisai
He rode out of Goma on a bicycle and reached South Africa by road.
On his second crossing, the long road toward Morocco, he died before the finish. This tour completes his ride: every country, no visas, no borders. When you support this project, you carry Miguel's name across the continent he tried to cross on two wheels.
If he could not go, we will go for him, all the way to the end.
The Team
Small team, big map.
I build this site and the daily videos with Yoo360, the agency in Goma I work with every day. Together we are building the tour, the videos, and two companies that keep the lights on.

Notes from the road.
Come and see a continent that laughs loud, builds fast and argues football until midnight. We are young, we are many, and we are done asking permission to enjoy our own home. This trip is my invitation: come in, sit down, taste the food. You will like it here.
