The story of Author
'''
I was six years old when I wrote, in a school assignment, the words: "I want to go hoem." We were supposed to simply write words like "Dog," "cat," and "ball," but spelling mistake aside-my mind was apparently elsewhere. Back then, I didn't know that I would later spend years of my life trying hard not to go home.
I got my first diary not long after these famous words, and I started to write more and more. Not just in my diary, but also stories, which I would print and fold into skinny booklets. I knew I wanted to be a writer when I grew up. When I began exploring the world on my own in my twenties, I recorded my experiences in detailed travel journals. I've reread many of them and watched back a lot of footage from my YouTube channel while writing this book. Some of the conversations I describe in the pages ahead were held in languages I barely spoke, such as Russian. I didn't understand what had actually been said in them until I published my videos on YouTube, when native-speaking viewers would comment on them.
However, I also describe plenty of experiences in this book that 1 never shared online. Sometimes this was just because I'd forgotten to turn on my camera, but often it was because I was afraid to record myself in scary and vulnerable moments. I was afraid of how people would respond to my ineptitude. So I chose to go through these most difficult parts of my journey alone, without anyone watching. Now, five years after my first motorcycling adventure, I have gathered the courage to share these experiences.
And finally tell the whole story.
