Going the Wrong Way is a Lifestyle Choice - Chris Donaldson : 86
from BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS A STORY "BEHAS"
This is a coming-of-age road trip like no other. Chris Donaldson is an adventurous man with a motivation that drove him to embark on a journey of self-discovery. He left Belfast in 1979. He originally planned a 10k-mile motorcycle ride to Australia but didn’t make it. The Iranian revolution stopped him and forced him to take a detour. That took him to the peaks of The Andes, and he upped his mileage to 50k before returning to Belfast. Chris is the author of ”Going the Wrong Way,” which chronicles a worldwide voyage of self-discovery and brings the reader in to share his experiences. 42 years later, Chris is now, again, on a ride to Australia, on the same Moto Guzzi Le Mans. He decided to finally complete the journey with an old friend, Liam Lavery and is making the journey in stages as they both have wives, children, and jobs. They will continue to the Americas to complete the round-the-world voyage if all goes well.This is his story; let’s enjoy it! https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisdonaldson1/https://youtu.be/HAEPhkadGbc www.chrisdonaldson.worldSend BEHAS a text.Support the showTo Share - Connect & Relate:Share Your Thoughts and Shape the Show!
