The Moment Collectors ASIA

"Have you ever wondered what it would be like to travel across Asia? Via the chapters in this enthralling book, you can do just that. Take 20 motorcycle travellers from nine countries, experienced and novice, and ask them to write about travelling the world's largest and most diverse continent: to share a moment from those travels which became priceless. A moment that had them thinking, 'this is exactly why I'm out here!' Connected by motorcycles and an insatiable curiosity, the 400+ pages of stories shared take you from the heat of the central Asian steppes to the snow-topped mountains of Nepal, from backroads India, to riding and exploring the history of Korea, from the forests of Burma to the extremes of eastern Siberia and much more. With inspirational writing, the authors take you travelling through some of the most magnificent landscapes in the world. You'll experience stories from a wide range of cultures, and you'll be introduced to genuine kindness. You'll be riding asphalt, gravel, sand and mud with them in some of the most remote parts of the world, and to counter those big sky tales, you'll be taken riding through the dense traffic of Asian cities. Within the stories shared you'll be invited to a wedding, to drink vodka for breakfast and you'll camp on the beach with ghosts. You'll eat foods that range from taste bud delights to gut wrenching experiences which will have you wincing. The Moment Collectors within these pages include published authors of books, magazine articles, blogs, and first-time writers. As they take you exploring the largest continent in the world, each relays a tale representing the kind of inspiring moments only made possible by life on the long road. Several ride solo, some in pairs and a couple are two up. They are the mix of travellers you'll find on the open road. Though motorcycle travellers, their stories will be of interest to any who sets off to explore the planet"--Publisher's description.
