Eureka: Finding the Line between Desire and Contentment, then Riding It North American Edition

Rate this book
Who tries to ride deep into Iraq just to see if the news reports are accurate, ends up joining
a street demonstration against someone else's government, or sticks their arm between the
jaws of a wild mountain wolf-dog?
After the success of his fi rst book In Search of Greener Grass, Graham Field hits the road again
with his bargain-basement KLR650, recording his experiences in his inimitable and revealingly
honest diary style. The Caucasus region is often overlooked by travellers, but Graham may
inadvertently be about to change all that.
A single pivotal event can transform any journey, and accepting rather than fi ghting that
moment can have glorious consequences for the traveller. In this instant the result ensures a
fantastic exploration of eastern Europe and beyond, the discovery of a hidden gem in Georgia,
and meanderings that leave us all much richer.
Ultimately, Eureka is an almost accidental realization that we cannot control our mood on the
road, but merely embracing it can be the most enlightening travel experience of all.

Graham is a compulsive traveller, with a compelling manner of brutal honesty of integrity. His books are authentic experiences from his 37 years of diaries, kept as he's meandered around the planet from foot to bicycle, to motorbike to four wheels.


Travel on his mind, bikes in his blood and little in his wallet, Graham's low budget journeys of humour and honesty have inspired many to hit the road in search of their dreams. A solo traveller at heart, his observations take his readers with him to Mongolia, Iraq, the Arctic Circle and many other distant destinations.

With a life time of travel anecdotes and hard earned wisdom, Graham's view of the planet is unique and contagious.


Graham is the author of eight books, which are all available as audiobooks. Twice nominated as 'most inspiring adventurer' by Adventure Bike TV. He was a resident co-host on Adventure Rider Radio RAW for five years with Sam Manicom and Grant Johnson of Horizons Unlimited. He has written articles for various publications worldwide.

Fantastic honest book full of great ideas and inspiration. Couldn't put it down, really worth reading and I'm now reading Near Varna. Highly recommend it. He shows you don't need a fancy bike or loads of money to go on an adventure. Thank you Graham.
