Tom Smith's World Journey on Motor Scooter Melawend

http://www.melawend.com Share in the profound education of Tom's two-year journey around the world by motorscooter Melawend.
EWAN McGREGOR had this to say: "My two trips by bike were amazing and life changing but short compared to Tom's two-year traveling extravaganza!
One Man, One Scooter, One Hell of a Ride!"

From the age of two, Thomas Martin Smiths love of the stories and photographs in National Geographic magazine led him to develop passions for writing and photography. He married at nineteen. To support his family, he worked as a law clerk and an antiques dealer. In 1983, four years after his marriage ended, he sold most of what he owned, including his pre-Civil War home, and traveled for four months by car and RV around the USA and Canada to build his photography portfolio. Soon after, he drove to New York where he signed on with a photo agency on Madison Avenue. Tom then undertook a two-year self-designed expedition around the world by motorscooter - starting from and returning to his hometown of Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada. He spent the next 12 years writing an epic book about his quest - IN THE LONG RUN: A Hopeful World Odyssey - which is getting favorable reviews from readers. Tom lives in Victoria, BC, Canada, and is working on a novel.

"Hi, this is Tom. Are YOU at a crossroads in your life? Boy, I sure was - divorced, unemployed, broke... close to being homeless. I was a real fixer-upper! But instead of giving in to despair, I put down my remote, set aside my shyness, and got on a motor scooter even though Id never ridden any kind motorbike before. I wanted to explore and embrace the world for myself though Id never been outside North America. Ever listen to the evening news? Frankly, even the thought of going around the world alone scared the hell of me. But even the prospect of change can scare you right? Still, I wanted and I needed - to discover and share new perspectives on life and love.
