Presentations
After having returned to Greece, I have been hosted by various motorcycling and other clubs, as well as bookstores, in order to present my journey in Asia and the relevant book I wrote, by the title “27 full moons in the East”. The presentation lasts from one to two and a half hours in average, depending on the mood of the audience for questions and conversation. I start the presentation by analyzing the preparation of the trip, with an extent reference to financial issues, which is the most common question. I also refer to the modifications I made to the motorcycle for such a trip, making clear why I chose a small, second-hand motorbike. Next, I describe my experiences in the countries I visited. During the presentation, many photographs are being projected. On the spot stands always the famous XR, by which I visit every town hosting a presentation of mine, as it is the only vehicle I own. When the space that the event takes place is appropriate, there is also an exhibition of 19 colorful images of the East which I shot during my trip. These presentations are always open to public for free. The mad nomad products (books, T-shirts etc.) are usually available on spot.
