Personal adventure narrative of the author's six solo bicycle journeys through 47 countries across six continents. Over a 18 year time span Matthew cycled alone and unsupported through cultures, languages, along mountain ranges and rivers, through deserts, grasslands, tundra, and cities from the equator to above the Arctic Circle. It was a project that would see his evolution in thought, lifestyle and his view of the world and its peoples. Matthew found both the hardship, joy, and beauty of his chosen method of travel and of the lands and peoples he travelled through. His bicycle allowed him to find the isolated corners far from the beaten path and to make contact with the people, the land, and elements unhindered by metal, glass, speed or apparent affluence. Each journey was an increase in the unknowns and challenges but each journey also saw gains in skills, capabilities and confidence.The journeys were not only grand adventures and explorations across the world but a journey within.
