Between Worlds chronicles a real journey of discovery from the
harsh winter of Georgia to the wilds of Mongolia by bicycle. A lone
ride which began in Tbilisi and continued through Armenia, Iran,
Pakistan, India and Nepal ending in Mongolia. It is one man's
exploration of place and space, full of detailed architectural
observations which question the nature of the spaces we inhabit and
encourage consideration of the profound effects of architecture on
our thoughts and habits. The personal journey of discovery, which
is interwoven with the factual observations, mirrors much of the
landscape travelled through and provides an insight into loneliness
and displacement. The ongoing personal theme of a space or place in
which to belong runs through the book as the reader is taken on a
ride along the long, dusty, desert roads of Iran, and the
spectacular mountain passes of Nepal. Combined with the colourful
backdrop of India or the chaos of Pakistan, the book introduces
characters along the way, from the Nepalese girl deity to the
American evangelical Christian, turned Hindu. Each city or
destination has its own flavour, dictated by the local people and
buildings and the quality of its hospitality. Yurts, ashrams,
temples and tents punctuate the ride like points on a dot to dot.
