Hello everyone. I'd never presume to say author. I'm an aircraft mechanic that paid just enough attention in grade school to write well enough to describe a tale like you've never heard.
In 2008 I took off work for eight months, leaving my family and world behind, and rode an old touring bicycle around the world. California to Hong Kong, wheezing and gasping my middle aged frame through nine countries; living with the people and cultures down the side streets and through tiny villages.
The battle of self doubts, the benevolence of impoverished people, the endless Mars-scape of the Gobi in August, all told in a style that brings you along with me. This unique story stands on its own, hold it in your hands.
