Sam Manicom, overlander, traveller and author of 4 motorcycle books, was born in the Congo in Central West Africa where his parents worked. His family returned to the UK when he was 10 and he has been travelling for much of his life.
His first solo trip was age 16 by bicycle into Europe. Many backpacking, hiking, cycling and hitch hiking journeys later, and back in the UK but wanting to do something completely different, Sam learned to ride a motorcycle.

“Adventures begin with dreams”

“When a person travels, they discover who they
really are and how incredible this world of ours is.
As soon as a person’s senses are brought alive, an
adventure starts to be a success. So go, ride, get lost,
explore, collect magnificent moments.”
