(Audiobook) France to Vietnam by motorcycle - Volume 1: Adventures in Europe and Russia (True Story) (France to Vietnam by Motorcycle: 3-Book Adventure)

France to Vietnam by Motorcycle is more than an audiobook—it is a true story of adventure, resilience, and self-discovery, as well as a practical guide for anyone dreaming of exploring Europe, Russia, and beyond by motorcycle.

On her steel steed, the author—a French-Vietnamese Canadian adventurer and PhD in Economics—leaves the lecture hall behind to embrace dusty roads, distant horizons, and the unexpected. Riding alongside her is Maxime Léonard, a globe-trotting mechanic from Marseille, paraglider, and survivor whose body, rebuilt with metal after a devastating accident, stands as a testament to extraordinary strength and resilience.

Together, they embark on an unforgettable journey across two continents.

Volume 1: Through Europe and Russia, every mile becomes a lesson in riding, endurance, and self-discovery, from the Mediterranean coast to the vast landscapes of Siberia.

Volume 2: In Mongolia, endless steppes, untouched wilderness, and complete freedom await, where the motorcycle becomes the only link to civilization.

Volume 3: Across Southeast Asia, tropical heat, monsoon rains, and a return to the author's Vietnamese roots reveal another side of the adventure, where chaos, simplicity, and humanity intertwine.

Enhanced with authentic photographs captured along the journey, this audiobook brings every moment vividly to life.

Volume 1 chronicles the first 29 days of the expedition, from Marseille to the gates of Mongolia across the entire breadth of Russia. Along the way come demanding roads, breathtaking landscapes, unforgettable encounters, mechanical breakdowns, cultural discoveries, and hard-earned lessons in courage, freedom, and perseverance.

Written with the smell of gasoline, dust, and open roads, this is far more than a travel memoir. It is authentic, deeply emotional, and cinematic, placing listeners in the saddle for every triumph, setback, and unforgettable moment.

Whether you are a motorcyclist seeking inspiration, an adventurer longing to explore the world, or simply someone who enjoys true stories of ordinary people accomplishing extraordinary journeys, France to Vietnam by Motorcycle invites you to experience the road without ever leaving home.

Volume 1 is available now.

No motorcycle. No fuel. No visa. Just press play—and let the adventure begin.
