Publisher Description
At age 22, Charlie Walker left home in search of adventure. Fleeing the boredom that comes with comfort, he set off on a secondhand bicycle. The aim was simple: to pedal to the furthest point in each of Europe, Asia, and Africa. He didn’t train or plan. He just started. The journey was an escape from an unremarkable existence, a pursuit of hardship, and a chance to shed the complacency of middle England. From the brutality of winter on the Tibetan plateau, to the claustrophobia of the Southeast Asian jungle, the quest provided Charlie with ample opportunity to test his mettle. Ultimately, though, the toughest challenge was entirely unforeseen.
Customer Reviews
Very easy/interesting listen
I downloaded this book after hearing Charlie on Joe Rogans podcast and was very impressed by his journey and how engaging he was. Very interesting stories from this journey and surprisingly emotional at times. I smashed it out in a day because I enjoyed it so much
Superb! Book of the year!
This book has it all. Culture, action, adventure, romance, engaging characters are much, much more. Amazingly well written and read. Follow the incredible journey of one man with a passion for travel and who sets out to achieve what others daren’t even dream of attempting.
