Synopsis

"A heartwarming account of our world’s rich multiculturalism and the common human language of kindness.”
– Helen Croydon, British author, broadcaster and former journalist.

Jacqui Webster had always dreamed of travelling in Africa – she just never expected it would be on two wheels. When her partner Joe’s adventurous spirit proves contagious, she agrees to put her career as a professor in food policy on hold and join him on a cycling odyssey that begins in Morocco. The plan is vague: head east across Europe and Asia, and see how far they can get.

Over the course of a year, they pedal 18,000 kilometres through 30 countries. They scale the High Atlas and stay with Berber families in Morocco, skirt Spain’s Sierra Nevada, brave the bears in Bulgaria’s Rhodope Mountains, and conquer fifty hairpins over Slovenia’s highest pass. But in Türkiye their journey unravels — visas are denied, borders are closed, and Jacqui starts to wonder why she ever agreed to such a reckless adventure.

They might have to give up. Instead, in a bold leap of face, they decide to go to Africa. Africa changes everything. From the mountains of Rwanda to the deserts of Namibia, Jacqui and Joe discover that adventure is not just about endurance, but about connection, resilience, and rediscovering purpose. By the time they wheel into Cape Town, the trip has transformed from a gap year on bikes into the journey of a lifetime.
