Fresh from his thrilling journey down the West Coast of Africa, Nye regales us with tales of his life on the road, beginning from his early introduction to biking at the age of four.

Nye also shares how he narrowly escaped disaster during his trip, reminding us that the spirit of adventure always comes with a dash of danger.

The journey continues as Nye takes us on an audio tour of his expedition from the UK to South Africa. This chapter is packed with riveting tales of unexpected events, challenges, and moments of stillness. We explore the essence of being a traveller, the significance of immersing oneself in the moment, and the crucial role of photography in documenting these fleeting experiences. Nye’s narrative transports you to different parts of the world, highlighting the highs and lows of life on the road.
