This is not a book with Harley Davidson bikers, babes and beer, or use travelers in search of exotic places, but the experience of a regular guy who bought an old bike illegally in Kenya and that, mile after mile, finished in South Africa.
"I never dreamed of making a journey. I took a leave and went to Kenya in search of tranquility and ideas to write a book, I bought the bike and started making miles, then I realized that the storyline did not have to imagine, but that was happening before my eyes. "
