#21 Motorcycles, Maps and Moments with Sam Manicom

#21 Motorcycles, Maps and Moments with Sam Manicom

Some conversations don’t need steering. They unfold on their own, carried by memory, curiosity, and a lifetime spent saying yes to the road.

In this episode, I sit down with Sam Manicom—traveller, writer, and quiet instigator of adventure—to talk about what really sits behind long journeys. Not routes or gear lists, but perspective. The slow accumulation of moments. The people met by chance. The mistakes that turn into stories worth keeping.

We talk about learning to travel without fear, why books still matter in a world of endless video, how little you actually need to go far, and why the best plans leave room for serendipity. Sam reflects on decades of overland travel by motorcycle, the bikes that became companions, and the idea that journeys don’t repeat themselves—because no traveller ever does.

It’s a thoughtful, generous conversation. Less about ticking destinations off a map, more about paying attention while you’re there.
