I Left the Middle East for THIS: A Journey from Adventure to Literary Exploration
In a world where the allure of distant landscapes and thrilling motorcycle rides beckon, there’s an equally enriching path that intertwines the heart of travel with the power of storytelling. This is precisely the journey taken by our intrepid traveler, whose latest adventure leads them from the sun-drenched deserts of the Middle East to the vibrant streets of London.
After an exhilarating odyssey across Japan, this passionate explorer paused to celebrate a momentous achievement: the publication of their book’s English translation in the UK. A book tour awaits, a unique opportunity to share tales of adventure, resilience, and the beauty of exploration with eager readers.
London, with its rich tapestry of culture and history, serves as the perfect backdrop for this new chapter, drawing connections between the narratives of travel and the timeless allure of literature. As they navigate the bustling city, this journey isn’t solely about promoting a book; it’s about integrating the spirit of adventure into the art of storytelling.
Join them as they embark on this exciting transition, one where the thrill of the open road meets the inspiring journey of bringing experiences to life through the written word. Stay tuned for a breathtaking exploration of a dual passion: the love for adventure and the power of sharing these tales with the world.

I heard London Bridge was falling down.
Hi 👋🏼 come visit in Wales! The mountain roads and coast roads are spectacular. Can't wait to get into the book. I was chatting to a young woman in a pub in Dolgellau, the Stagg, last night. I showed her your channel as she has moved here to bike around Wales.
You are truly inspiring. Thanks for all the amazing videos 📹
Take care look forward to seeing all the UK 🇬🇧 content. Nice to see London looking vibrant and busy too 😀
Damn.. i wanted that signed book so badly i traveled from belgium to that store to get it but it was gone already. Extremely sad about it but had a nice ride. Keep making the videos i have been enjoying them so much for so many months now!
Vou ver se encontro o livro na Bertrand, ou na Fnac.
The year of the fire has an interesting number, hasn't it?
Is je boek ook in Nederland te koop?
Wow, London is quite lovely! Why do they always show the dreary parts on TV? Thank you for showing a different side!

Welcome back, you've been long awaited. Wow, what a wonderful trip to London, and your English is wonderful to listen to, so easy to understand, some others come with mumbling, a little uninteresting. But you're number one, thank you for that, I'm looking forward to you coming up with a new and longer series! Have a good trip!😍❤❤❤
ciao Noraly, bentornata e complimenti per il tuo libro.
È bello rivederti, ci sarà mai il libro tradotto in italiano ?
Buona continuazione, attendo nuove avventure .
