Luke Saunders has just returned to England
after a three-year motorcycle journey.
He has just ridden all the way around the
world.
This is Luke's story:
"I worked in a car factory.
It was a very simple, boring job and I didn't
have to think at all.
One day, I bought a second-hand 750 cc bike
and set off for Australia.
I had a little money when I started, but
I soon spent that so I had to find jobs where I could.
I picked fruit, washed the dishes in restaurants
and worked as a mechanic.
Everywhere I went, people were friendly
and helpful.
They were always interested in my motorcycle,
so it was easy to start a conversation.
A lot of people spoke a little English,
so it was always possible to communicate with them."
The only time I felt like giving up and
coming home was when I got food poisoning in Bangladesh.
I had to go to the hospital, but only for
a few days.
I had a great time and next week, I'm going
to set off on another journey around the world - in the
opposite direction this time!
