Adventurous, spontaneous and passionate. Three words I might use to describe myself. I am (was) a geologist by trade, before I decided to embark on this adventure. I love the outdoors, being active, reading good books and playing tennis. Other passions include cats, hot summer days, long swims in the ocean, vanilla ice cream and curry… I have always loved travelling and have had a desire to travel the length of Africa for as long as I can remember. When Jeff and I met in 2012 we started dreaming about such a trip. I suppose that is when this project was “born”, although we only really started working on it in 2014. Although I was interested in motorbikes at 16 it was only last year when Jeff taught me that I learnt how to ride. That has been an adventure in itself with my first ride over 100km being in Nepal of all places! What an adventure. I am so excited about stepping out of my comfort zone in the year that lies ahead and discovering God’s heart for the nations and peoples of Africa. I am expecting a rough but magnificent journey. I hope that it will be every bit as exciting for you that are following us.

I've been riding bikes since I was legally allowed to at age 16. When I moved with my family back to my home country (South Africa) I got more into adventure riding and back in 2010 I planned a bike trip around South Africa and Lesotho with a couple of friends. Somewhere along the lines we had the idea to film the trip and produce a mini 3 part web series of about 25min each. That trip was where my love for film making started. I've been very fortunate since then to have been involved in some very interesting projects and even getting some of my work aired on television, here in South Africa. Although I really enjoy film making in general I have a particular passion for seeing film making being used as a tool in the wider church. Not just promo videos to show on projectors during church meetings, but hard hitting stories that have an impact on the people watching them. It was through this passion that I began working on this project. I'm really excited about what we have so far and keen to share the finished project with you, so jump on board for the ride!

Growing up in Australia and America, I eventually came back to live in my home country of South Africa in 2011. I grew up with a love for travel and different cultures, but I fell in love with Israel when I organized and took tours from South Africa in 2011 & 2012. I met my incredible husband in East London and we were married a year later. We now live in the beautiful city of Cape Town with our fur baby Zoe. We're currently enjoying exploring the city, runs down Kalk Bay main road, hikes in the mountains near us, swimming in our tidal pool, and eating at the awesome local restaurants. I love all different ethnic foods, the ocean, and good coffee. I'm excited about this new project and look forward to following Jeff and Anneen's journey!

I'm a local Eastern Cape playwright and screenwriter focusing on authentic stories and characters whose voices need to be heard. I love writing for multicultural performers and audiences. I've written and directed seven theatre productions and this is my second screenplay. I'm currently studying an MA in Drama specializing in writing for performance for stage and screen. I'm married and we are expecting our first baby-girl on 20 January. I'm passionate about missions, especially after repeated visits to Iris Mozambique and Nepal. As Heidi Baker says, love looks like something. I trust this film opens your eyes to what love can look like.
