The Eurasian Odyssey

A Bicycle Trip Across the Old Continent from England to Japan at the End of the World

The Eurasian Odyssey is a trilogy of books originally written in Japanese. It began in London in 2020, at the height of COVID. The voyager rode across Europe, through the Middle East, Iran, India and South-East Asia. These books are inspired by Greek Mythology, indeed, bringing the spirit of the Odyssey back to life in troublous times.

Eurasian Odyssey
Book One

The genesis. COVID plunged the world into a new darkness as the powers that be urged the masses to stay home – thus the Odyssey was re-born – this time, with a bicycle, not a ship and crew.



Book Two – Aaliyah

Quasi-forced vaccinations and shut-down borders heralded a new dystopia. Our swashbuckling Odyssean traveler broke through European borders, racing clear into the sands of the Middle East, ascending Mount Sinai, where Moses received the Ten Commandments, coming down in a solemn bid to reach the Promised Land.

Book Three – Denoument

The final chapter of the epic street dream trilogy – The Eurasian Odyssey. This last leg of the journey kicks off in war-torn Ukraine, moving through Iran, India and Siam to finally close the journey of a lifetime in Japan. A dignified end to a non-fiction story inspired by Greek myth.

    Luna: “What theory is that?” J: “That women on Amtrak trains are actually waiting to be picked up by a mysterious stranger.”
  • Obeah in Trinidad
    “Obeah is a dark force, and there is nothing good about it. Even so, if you insist on engaging Obeah, be sure to have a pastor pray for protection over you. In this world, there are powers that can permanently change you.”
  • Blue Zone Report: Ikaria
    Crawling inside the cave, I found a dense accumulation of natural salt formed on walls of the cave, like snow.
  • Blue Zone Report: Sardinia
    One of the defining characteristics of life in Sardinia is how quickly time passes. I had originally planned to stay from November 2024 through January 2025, yet the days seemed to slip by without pressure or urgency.
