Timeless On The Silk Road: An Odyssey From London To Hanoi

‘It’s more than just a long motorcycle trip...’ Tony Wheeler, co-founder Lonely Planet.

'The road maybe silken but it is far from smooth...' Ted Simon, author Jupiter's Travels.

After riding her motorcycle across Africa, Heather Ellis is faced with a choice: go on one last adventure or wait for the inevitable. While working as a motorcycle courier, in London in 1995, Heather is diagnosed with HIV when she has the test for a Russian visa. Timeless On The Silk Road is the story of what happens next. What unfolds is a journey of courage, hardship and immense natural beauty as she rides along the fabled Silk Roads of antiquity. Infused with a deep spiritual power, it is a story that leaves the reader considering their own ‘time less’ journey called life. 

Timeless On The Silk Road (Phonte Publishing 2019) is Heather's second book and follows Ubuntu: One Woman's Motorcycle Odyssey Across Africa (Black Inc. 2016), which continues to be listed as a bestseller on Amazon and in 2019 received an award for one of the best motorcycling books, and one of the best Ubuntu books, of all time by Book Authority.

'Heather Ellis writes about her most daring adventures and deepest struggles with humour, heart, guts and grace. I was enthralled by every page.' Cheryl Strayed, bestselling author of Wild
