Why would someone sell nearly everything he owns, then pack up and
travel for three years--alone--on a motorcycle? One day Allan Karl
woke up to discover that he was unemployed and his marriage had
ended in divorce.
Allan looked at these forks in the road of his life as an
opportunity to both follow a life-long dream and pursue his
passions. He hopped on his motorcycle and traveled around the
world. After three years and 62,000 miles of riding, through 35
countries on 5 continents, he returned home only to set out on
another journey--to share the truths he'd uncovered and the lessons
learned during his adventure around the world.
Between these pages, Allan shares the discoveries, cultures, and
connections he made on this global adventure. Through stories,
color photos, and the flavors of real local food, FORKS brings his
adventure to life and the world to your table: the kindness of
strangers, the beauty of humanity, the colors of culture, and the
powerful gift of human connection.
FORKS brings the world to your table: An around-the-world adventure
story. A colorful photo book with more than 700 color photographs.
A global cookbook with 40 signature recipes.
"Even though I set out on his journey alone, I was never alone. If
I was ever lost, lonely or hungry, I would turn around and always
find someone there." The real truth is that it's easy to connect
with people--humanity--even in the most challenging situations.
Like when he was ordered into the Colombian jungle at gunpoint, or
when he crushed his leg in the middle of nowhere in Bolivia, or how
he had to beg the governments of Syria and Sudan to let him across
their borders.
Every photograph, story, and recipe in this book presents readers
with an opportunity to witness new cultures, taste exotic flavors,
or journey into dangerous and unknown territories. Every experience
is an opportunity to connect with others.
