7 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
David Newman is a former computer programmer who decides to leave behind his career, home and family to take on an epic motorcycle travel adventure. Arriving at the end of his twenties still working in the north east of England he gambles on finding a new perspective from the seat of a bike. Expecting the experience of a lifetime, with route planned he sets off into the unknown with a fellow rider. Everything doesn't go to plan for David though, the problems come right from the start of his journey and get bigger from there. Mechanical disasters, corrupt officials and armed bandits all threaten to derail the journey, but even greater threats to the adventure are still to come.Follow the progress as the unlikely adventure unfolds across Europe, Central Asia, China and the USA. 'Mongolia or Bust' is a warts and all account of one man's adventure motorcycle experience, minus the TV glamour and sponsorship money!

travelling isn‘t the same unless you have someone to share it with, even if it‘s just ‘ isn‘t that cool ‘, or ‘ look at all the elastic top jeans ‘!

judging Mexico on Tijuana would be like coming to the UK but only seeing a Liverpool council estate in the rain before condemning the whole country.

without a word of shared language they handed us a loaf of locally made bread. Gestures of kindness such as this never failed to leave me dumbstruck at the human spirit normal people throughout the world possess.

when ideas are discussed, not just festering in the mind of one person, they gather a kind of momentum that is fuelled by bravado and collective madness.

every article you read or news item you see describes how some environment is being destroyed or culture disappearing. It seems as though most places you would go on a world tour are as good as they‘re going to get.
