Janapar: Love, on a Bike

The best laid plans always go astray – and Tom’s were no exception.

Like the documentary film of the same name, Janapar: Love, on a Bike goes much further than recounting the nuts and bolts of a long bicycle journey, exploring what it means to be a modern-day journeymaker, the challenges and tough sacrifices one must make in order to follow a dream, and the series of realisations that must befall the young and naive traveller about life and love.

Available as a paperback and Kindle edition.
