Most people would regard it as irresponsible madness for a father to take his 17-year-old son, riding old and somewhat worn-out XT500 motorcycles, on a four-month ride across Africa. But Lawrence Bansby did. Lawrence and his son Gareth set off on their old but bulletproof XT500s with a handful of spare parts, very little money, and the three Michelin maps that cover Africa. The plan was to travel north from their home in Natal, South Africa, then west through Zaire, the Central African Republic, Nigeria, Niger, and, finally, across the Sahara through Algeria, but it was not to be.

Ich lade Sie ein, liebe Leser, mir auf eine Sprachreise zu folgen, die ich vor 20 Jahren unternahm. Der Gedanke, nach Malta zu reisen, war ein spontaner, um aus der Not eine Tugend zu machen.

I mean, let's face it - fifth grade isn't exactly the most exciting thing in the world. But then, really strange things started happening. Like last week, my best friend Sheila and I were hanging out in our clubhouse, drinking lemonade and trying to figure out what to do about Marcia the Snob, when we suddenly noticed a weird inscription on this old medallion I found when I was little.

"Cuadernos de un viajador. Donde confluyen el viajero y el trabajador volumen 1", rejunta crónicas que Mariano Saravia escribió desde el año 2000 y mientras visitaba países muy diferentes. Su actitud está abiertamente alejada de la del turista. Es más bien una actitud de curiosidad profunda, la actitud de alguien que busca las pequeñas y grandes historias de cada región, sus heridas y logros en la persistencia por ser felices los humanos sobre la faz de este Mundo.

"Cuadernos de un viajador". Donde confluyen el viajero y el trabajador, volumen 2, prosigue la colección de crónicas escritas por Saravia durante su paso por distintas naciones con historias agitadas a principios del siglo XXI. Hay un repaso de su recorrido por países sudamericanos como Uruguay, Chile y Paraguay, también un viaje intenso a la Sudáfrica que lleva todavía las marcas del apartheid. Al recuerdo del levantamiento del gueto mientras visita Varsovia le sigue el panorama de la vida actual de los palestinos en Ramallah, Belén y Jerusalén.
