Chris Donaldson | A Journey to the Wrong Continent, Being Self Reliance, & Finishing What We Start

“The reason you make the journey, is for the journey- not the destination” - Chris Donaldson

EPISODE OVERVIEW: 
Have you heard the one about the young man from Belfast, Ireland who grew up during war-torn times, learned to be self-reliant, and motivated himself past it all. You know, the one where he didn't quit on his dreams, but started on his journey, and made sure he finished it even though it took him 43 years. Even with Parkinson's today, our guest talks about just doing "it", and finishing what we start in life; whatever that "it" is.  He's an adventure, businessman, entrepreneur, motorcycle enthusiast, and world traveler. Ladies & Gentlemen, welcome to the Chris Donaldson story!

GUEST BIO:
From Belfast, Ireland, Best-Selling Author of Going the Wrong Way, Chris Donaldson. When he left Belfast in 1979, his original plan was to ride to Australia, but never made it. Ending up in Argentina nearly 2 years later, he rode across the Sahara desert, travelled through Africa to Cape Town, where he hitched a ride on a yacht race back to Europe. Then he went to the USA and rode from Canada south through Central America and South America to Buenos Aires. All of this and more is in his Amazon best-selling book 'Going the Wrong Way.' Chris decided to finally complete the journey 42 years after his return from South America to take the same Moto Guzzi to Australia.
