Me Volume 2′ documents my entire three year African expedition from start to finish. At 375 pages it’s 50% bigger than TRCM Volume 1, and it has been an enormous amount of work to bring this to life! Like volume one, this book contains more than just tales of adventure, but also the lifelong lessons I will never forget. Three years and 54,000 miles around Africa P. S. Please don’t forget to leave a review of the book!

In the eleven years since The Road Chose Me launched, I’ve posted exactly 600 blog entries and uploaded 4,102 photos from my two major expeditions. I’ve spent thousands of hours writing and editing photos, and fought more terrible wifi to get it all uploaded than I care to remember. I was extremely proud when my first articles were published in magazines, and holding the first printed copy of my published book was a feeling I’ll never forget. but you want to get out there and have adventures of your own, and I’m going to teach you everything you need to know!

The Kickstarter will produce a limited edition copy with 30 full color images in the interior, and this edition will never be for sale again. The book also dives into the lessons I learned from the wonderful people of Africa, the world’s perception of Africa and how that compares to the reality on the ground. Beyond just the book there are plenty of other rewards on offer through Kickstarter including stickers, patches, my Africa photography book, The Road Chose Me Volume 1 and a limited edition canvas print of my favourite photo from the expedition.

As I hunker down this winter in the Canadian Rockies to write ‘The Road Chose Me Volume 2: Africa’, I will post daily on Instagram, revising my Pan-American Highway adventure to teach you how a regular guy like me did it. Truth be told I had little more than a ground tent, a bag of clothes, a box of food, a little hiking stove and a massive sense of adventure. I will start from the beginning and cover how I’m able to save money, vehicle preparation, planning and logistics. As the trip got underway I learned a lot about border crossings, bribery, paperwork and a slew of tips and tricks that helped me have the adventure of a lifetime.
