![]() Originally published in 1983, Miles from Nowhere has provided inspiration for legions of modern travel-adventurers and writers.Īs with much of the best travel writing, it's the voice that makes readers want to stick with a writer over a long journey, and Barbara Savage's voice is that of the best kind of travelling companion: honest, unpretentious, brave, and funny. The stress of traveling together constantly tested yet strengthened the young couple's relationship and as their trip ends, you'll find yourself yearning for Barbara and Larry to jump back on their bikes and keep pedaling. Along the way, these near-neophyte cyclists on their ten-speeds encountered warm-hearted strangers eager to share food and shelter, bicycle-hating drivers who ran them off the road, various wild animals (including an attack camel), rock-throwing Egyptians, overprotective Thai policeman, motherly New Zealanders, meteorological disasters, bodily indignities, and great personal joys. ![]() Miles from Nowhere is the story of Barbara and Larry Savage's sometimes dangerous, often zany, but ultimately rewarding 23,000-mile bicycle odyssey, which took them through 25 countries in two years. ![]() If you'd like to read Barbara Savage's two-year around the world bicycle trip now, you can order the current version here. ![]() This is the same amazing story as the current version, but with an updated cover and foreword. ![]()
