200,000 kilometres in 3,000 days across five continents—an average of just 66 kilometres a day for a 30-year-old Land Rover. Amidst the Scottish Highlands, a neglected Land Rover stands, seemingly unfit for a global adventure, yet Christopher Many sees its potential. Armed with only a passport, credit card, and a full tank of petrol, he dreams of traversing the frozen expanses of Siberia, the Americas, and Africa. His mission? To explore uncharted territories and delve into what makes the world tick. As he journeys from Mongolia to Somaliland, his adventure unfolds into a rich tapestry of philosophical questions, emotional highs and lows, and firsthand experiences across 100 countries. Each loose thread he pulls reveals insights often at odds with conventional Western beliefs. After eight years, he returns—exhausted, snake-bitten, and malaria-infected—but enriched with newfound wisdom and the love of his life. This narrative blends a sophisticated examination of global issues with a darkly humorous travelogue, vividly portraying the trials and triumphs of world travel while raising uncomfortable questions. Join this vagabond philosopher on a leisurely ride in Matilda’s passenger seat, and prepare for an enlightening journey.
