We wind our way around several vineyards, then down a hill until we come to a field packed with about fifteen cars. We park the car and then hike down the hill about one hundred meters to a two-hectare vineyard. At the top is a modest guest house with a shaded porch and patio. There’s a table covered with goodies including Gibanica traditional cheese pie, Serbian corn bread called Proja, classic Burek meat and cheese

I'M ON A QUEST: For culture cuisine, and connection — in every country in the world. For over ten years I've been riding around the world alone on my motorcycle. I'm not going to stop until I've ridden through every country in the world.
WorldRider TV is my YouTube Channel that captures the raw essence of solo travel around the world on a motorcycle. Some videos are raw and rough while others are edited and produced. Everything is real and authentic. I'm not out to ride the toughest roads, climb the highest mountains, search for ghosts, or solve mysteries.
I am out to meet the beautiful people of this world, to try to understand their culture, and learn about their history. All along enjoying good food, drink, and laughs. We all share much more in common that we have differences. I'm blown away by the kindness of strangers and how many times I've been brought into the homes and families of people everywhere.
There are no strangers in this world, only friends I haven't met. SO I hope I meet you. Meanwhile, join me and subscribe to my YouTube Channel, follow me in the usual places like Instagram and Facebook.

It all started on July 4th—symbolic for freedom and independence in my home country, USA. I set off alone on my trusty BMW F650GS Dakar motorcycle to travel the world. I didn't know exactly where I'd go or how long it would take. After three years traveling through thirty-five countries and five continents I returned home in California and wrote the book that documented that adventure in stories, photos, and recipes: FORKS: A QUEST FOR CULTURE, CUSINE, AND CONNECTION.
Then came a one-year cross country book tour in his legendary FORKS Van”, then a television show on THE COOKING CHANNEL, inspirational speaking gigs, and much more. All along I continue to ride the world months at a time, returning home to work and save for the next segment—always leaving my motorcycle in some garage somewhere around the world.

This WorldRider TV Episode #65 After gazing upon the beautiful gorge, we continue climbing higher up the mountain. We must be careful as we share the narrow road with locals walking down the hill. We pass a small vineyard next to a house with a blanket of ivy covering its roof. It’s quiet save the occasional sound of a tractor and the fall colors or yellow and rust paint a quaint picture as we continue to climb.Approaching another vineyard on one side of the road, this one with newly planted vines, we pass a small graveyard where old photos grace the tombstones on the other side. We pass small farms with fields planted in tomatoes squash, and other vegetables. There are several, abandon houses where the windows have no glass, and rotting wood doors hang precariously.We stop the car near where the hill crests. Gnarly wild vines climb up the hill behind and tumble down the hill in front. We hike down. Predrag figures the vines are all between fifty and one-hundred years old. It’s steep and south facing. The soil is stony and porous. Behind us, way above the vineyard shapely karst rocks line the ridge. Thanks for watching!
