Join acclaimed travel writer Sam Manicom for a Transport Torque blending fun, awe, drama and laughter, as he shares captivating stories from his eight-year motorcycle journey around the world.
“Over a few beers one night I decided that I was going to ride a motorcycle the length of Africa. I handed in my notice the next morning. Bought a bike at lunch time. Passed my test 6 weeks later and 6 weeks after that I was sitting at the edge of the Sahara thinking, “Sam you idiot. You have no idea what you are doing!”
Sam is the author of 4 books, each describing a different section of this journey. He has been a guest of multiple BBC travel broadcasts including Excess Baggage and Drive Time. He was presented with the Overland Magazine ‘Spirit of Adventure’ award for his contribution to Adventure Motorcycling and Overlanding. Sam is the contributing editor and publisher of ‘The Moment Collectors. Twenty Travellers Tales from Around the World’. He has also now published ‘The Moment Collectors ASIA’. With the same theme, 20 authors share the tales of the road from the world’s most diverse continent. When Sam isn’t writing he tends to be on the road somewhere, often on tour or simply exploring with his partner Birgit.
