Books with author Christian W. Breyer

Some adventurers boast of the more gung-ho aspects of their journeys or seek to take overly glamorised pictures for their Instagram profile. But there are a few who honestly chart the underside: the fear, the doubts, and the confusion. On the surface, despite a torrent of potential risks, not much happened on this solo trip. Under the surface, however, while attempting to make sense of the reality of Africa, Christian fights many battles in his mind, struggling to stay sane in the process.Faced with discomfort, hostile lands, extreme poverty and disorder, depression knocks on the door of this determined introvert as he learns difficult lessons about the world and himself. The author and his motorbike ride hard in a glorious rebellion of modern life, without a happy ending, but a greater understanding of the complex world we inhabit. No matter how brave we may be, there is a fear – an unseen wall – in us all. The author runs headlong at his, and this story chronicles his amazing journey.
