Jacques Noumonvi – Benin
Jacques Noumonvi, known as The First Nomad, is a content creator passionate about challenges and social impact. In 2023, Jacques walked 530 km across Benin without money, documenting the hospitality of local communities.
He also launched the Akwaba Cycle Trip, a 964 km cycling journey across Benin, Togo, Ghana, and Côte d'Ivoire, to promote ecotourism and cultural awareness. Jacques is exploring freedom of access across seven West African countries in a project called MotoTrip West Africa – From Benin to Senegal. “Having the opportunity to discover the continent and share my travel experience allows others to experience African borders through my eyes.”
