What does it cost to reach the end of the world by motorcycle? Nearly everything.
In his mid-30's and seemingly on top of the world, author Kix Marshall wakes up one day and suddenly realizes he's about to lose his business, relationships, and his identity. After selling almost everything he owns to stay ahead of bill collectors, he spots an opportunity. To keep selling until there is nothing left holding him back.
Armed with a felt marker and a world map he loosely sketches a route from Canada to the tip of South America and decides this might be his only chance to chase down a dream.
With a used KLR650, a $20 tent, and a free helmet, he rides off alone, not sure if he's running from his past or chasing his future.
2.5-years, 60,000-kilometers, 18-oil changes, 11-tyres, 1-night of gunfire, an international love affair, and a day spent screaming at the skies on Ayahuasca in the Amazon rainforest. He and his motorcycle one breath from death, spewing coolant out one end and oil out the other, held together by spare tyre tubes, tape, zip ties, and fleeting dreams, eventually reach the end of the world but perhaps not their goal.
