Life is short-so why not follow your dreams?
After years of building separate careers, Catherine and I were drifting apart. The solution? A bold leap into the unknown: a journey deep into the wild heart of Africa.
What followed was a journey of reconnection, challenge, and discovery. From unexpected detours to transformative encounters, this is the true story of how an African adventure reshaped our relationship, our perspectives, and ultimately, our lives. This is a tale of one couple's long drive home.
This is more than a travel memoir, taking the slow, less driven road, it's an invitation to embark on your own adventure and emulate our journey. We capture the true voice of Africa, those making the continent work. Unexpectantly, we also bumped into the 'great and the good'; Hollywood actors and environmentalist, the odd mercenary and past warriors.
What does one do after a military career? The book reflects on how the military mind adapts to the Boardroom.
After 35,248 km on a single slow puncture (two Land Rovers, a few clutches and a bent steering rod), they arrive home in England, wiser, closer and more assured. They will not be the last, nor were they the first African adventurers, for very single journey is unique. Go find yourselves!
