As a young child, Dylan often daydreamed of adventure and yearned to travel the world. However, growing up in Sri Lanka, facing extreme poverty and many hardships, his dreams often seemed as impossible to reach as the stars in the night sky. Yet despite all the odds and many years later, Dylan literally rides around the world on a motorcycle which he affectionately names Bruce. After 130,000 miles, four continents and two and a half years later, Dylan finds himself in Panama where all roads suddenly end…
SUMMARY
Growing up in poverty as a child, Dylan dreamt of traveling the world on a motorcycle. Many years later he broke the shackles of a normal life and took to the road. After journeying 200,000 km across four continents, the road from Panama to Colombia comes to an end at the Darién Gap, swallowed up by an impenetrable jungle. Dylan has no choice but to take to the sea, building a raft powered by his motorcycle in the hope of reaching Colombia’s road network 700 km away. He must brave strong ocean currents and storms in his journey from Central to South America.
I just love it when someone faced with an insurmountable obstacle( which with few exceptions the Darien Gap is ) comes up with an extremely creative solution … beating the odds in the process
Wow, this is one I’m happy to VOD as it’s fascinating: only one motorcyclist to my knowledge has actually taken his bike (dragged, canoed, pushed) through the Darien Gap, and only one who made his motorcycle into a raft! Both crazy, maybe the raft craziest of all…
