About Sam Manicom

Wanting to do something completely different, Sam Manicom learned to ride a motorcycle and within three months he’d set off to ride the length of Africa. This one-year trip turned into an eight-year epic across 55 countries.
Since 1996 Sam has been writing for Motorcycle Sport and Leisure, Adventure Bike Rider, ADV Moto Magazine, Overland Magazine, Motorcycle Voyager, The Riders Digest, Motorcycle Monthly, Motorcycle News, Road Rider, Motociclismo, SE Biker, Motorcycle Explorer and various other motorcycle magazines and newspapers around the world. Sam is a co-host of the monthly Adventure Rider Radio RAW show.
His first book was written as a result of readers’ letters to editors. ‘We like Sam’s articles. When’s he going to write a book?’ Until that time he’d been travelling with just new adventures in mind.
Sam’s books are available in both paperback and e-book formats. All are now all released as audiobooks, and are narrated by Sam.
When he’s not writing magazine articles or travelling, he makes multi-media presentations around the UK, mainland Europe and the USA.
