À propos de cet audio

At the end of a great day of riding and exploring, have you ever wanted nothing more than to fall asleep, exhausted from new experiences, only to wake up the next day and do it all again? And again?

Join the adventure as 33-year-old Rene Cormier politely removes himself from the working world that surrounds him and cashes in what few possessions he has to finance a three-year-long motorcycle journey around the world. Never one to let excessive planning get in the way of a good ride, Rene runs out of money half way through the tour and ultimately takes five years to cover the 41-country, 154,000 kilometer (95,000 mile) route. Written with equal measure of cultural insight and travel logistics, this light travelogue brings you alongside Rene as he pulls off the ride of a lifetime, doing it the old-fashioned way; no sponsors, no support vehicles, and no idea about what he is going to learn along the way.

I own the book but happily listened to the audiobook on a drive. The author did a good job reading it but he is not a professional like other audiobooks your’ll listen to. Worth the listen to the adventure!

Great story read by the Author

hard to listen to at times. I enjoy having the author read but this time it often sounded stilted & his cadence was way off made it difficult to focus and listen to. however, enjoyed the tales of his adventure. n

interesting but
