Description



Book Synopsis



With the quick wit and dry humour of a true Irishman, David "Irish" Anderson documents his epic eighteen-month motorcycle adventure from Ireland to South Africa in this captivating travel memoir.

What begins as a lofty idea in a pub becomes a reality after six years of planning when Irish and his wife purposely set out with their two heavily loaded motorcycles. Somewhere along the way, Irish loses his wife, but amidst the heartbreak, turmoil, and challenges on the long and often bumpy road, he gains a whole new perspective on life.

Follow his exciting journey as he does what you're absolutely not supposed to do when you see an elephant, involuntarily exfoliates himself during a desert sandstorm, and receives plenty of well-meaning but impractical advice from strange characters.

With a telling eye for detail, Irish artfully captures the characteristics of each country he visits, the encounters with people he meets, the difficulties he faces, and the joy of discovery that comes with travelling to unfamiliar places, providing the reader with a rich tapestry of experience.



Review Quotes




"Epic motorcycle trip upends-and rebuilds-a man's life. This is a journey worth taking." - BookLife, Publishers Weekly

"Anderson's epic adventure, beautifully told, is more than the story of a man and his motorbike. It is about life, love, loss, community, and hope." - Jason Fox, bestselling author of Battle Scars, Life Under Fire, and Embrace the Chaos

"A thrilling adventure tale, honestly told, that transports the reader to the heart of the action and perfectly captures the life-changing power of travel." - Lois Pryce, author of Lois on the Loose, Red Tape & White Knuckles, and Revolutionary Ride

"A captivating narrative that draws you into an extraordinary voyage. A must-read." - Dale Arenson, author of #1 bestselling Hangmen and numerous travel books

"There are many travel story books out there, but this one stands out with Irish's evocative descriptions, bringing the sights and experiences of remote lands to colourful life in your living room. Irish's personal growth and finally his embrace of all that is good in life are powerful threads throughout that keep the reader engrossed." - Grant Johnson, Horizons Unlimited

"Irish has skillfully written much more than a travelogue. It is a profoundly searching account of a journey that navigates time, place, and emotional loss to arrive at a destination far more significant than planned. Stunning and relatable, this book is a must-read!" - Michael Graney, guide, poet, and adventurer

"I loved this book! I wanted to ride around the world after reading this riveting quest. The characteristics of each country unfold with a rich tapestry of soulful experience and a little Irish humor during Anderson's monumental voyage." - Mandela van Eeden, international adventure guide and travel podcast host
