It seems lately we are inundated with pessimism and yet there are still countless inspirational stories being told around the world. Many of these stories come from travellers whose experiences on the road have made a huge difference in their lives. And sometimes there comes that one single defining moment, like a lightening bolt, when they realize why they’re doing what they’re doing. It’s often called an ‘aha moment’, that moment when they suddenly recognize the value that something or someone has put in to their life. These moments are usually emotional and impactful, and will always be remembered. Sam Manicom, adventurer and author of four popular motorcycle travel books, has put together a collage of twenty authors who each share one of the most significant moments in their travels and he calls it The Moment Collectors.
