In 2012, Christopher left on a third trip around the world, this time with his motorcycle Puck. Together with his partner Laura Pattara, they travelled for four years from Europe to Australia. His new book Right Beyond the Horizon – A Motorcycle Odyssey tells the story of their adventures on two wheels.
In 2002 Christopher Many set off on his second overland journey: a round-the-world voyage with an ailing Land Rover he purchased in Scotland for USD 1000 (or GBP 700). He named the Landy Matilda, and for the next eight years, they travelled through 100 countries. His bestselling book about this Odyssey, Left Beyond the Horizon, was published in 2015.
Christopher and Laura have been on the road for decades. Kevin, an old, bright yellow, post-office delivery van, is their current home on wheels. Hop in, and let’s go for a drive from Europe to Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Oman. Release date: November 2024
When people say “life’s a journey”, some take this aphorism more literally than others. Christopher Many embarked on an overland trip in 1997, believing he’d spend no more than a year or two on the road. Well, that didn’t quite work out as planned – decades have passed, and he’s still somewhere out there, doing what he loves most: circumnavigating the globe with vehicles of questionable reliability in a quest to understand, through first-hand experience, what makes humanity “tick”.
Christopher and Laura are currently on the road with their camper Kevin. To follow their voyages, see photos from the road and learn more about Christopher’s books, please click here.
