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.

Poland: Class Ol49 steam loco at Poznan with a train to Wolsztyn. Includes clips from the footplate
Steam locomotive (class Ol49, number 111) working Poznan to Wolsztyn passenger trains.
Clips 1 and 2 were recorded on the footplate shortly after leaving Pozan on the 0810 from Poznan Glowny to Wolsztyn. Recorded 21st May 2003.
Clip 3 (from 0:58) was recorded the next day (22nd May 2003) and shows the same loco leaving Poznan Glowny on the same train.

PKP class Ol49 was a class of ordinary passenger (O) 2-6-2 (l) steam engine designed in 1949 and used in Poland by the Polskie Koleje Państwowe (Polish State Railways) (PKP). A total of 116 were built between 1951 and 1954, 112 for the PKP and four for export to North Korea, by Fablok in Chrzanów. They replaced the older Ok1 and Ok22.
Several examples are still in use, based out of Wolsztyn, while others have been mounted at various locations across Poland. At least one example has been exported for preservation and can be found at Stoomcentrum Maldegem in Belgium.
The 'Wolsztyn Experience' website currently reports that loco Ol49-111 is in dismantled condition at Leszno and is unlikely to be re-assembled.

Wolsztyn (German: Wollstein) is a town in western Poland. It is the seat of Wolsztyn County, and of the smaller administrative district of Gmina Wolsztyn. Wolsztyn is famous as the location of a locomotive roundhouse, which is the last place in Europe to supply steam locomotives for regular, timetabled train services on the national railway network. These services run to Poznan. The site also includes a railway museum featuring restored locomotives. An annual parade of locomotives takes place at the start of May -- the 2007 event, which also celebrated the roundhouse's centenary, attracted 20,000 visitors.
Wolsztyn also includes a large lake (Jezioro Wolsztyńskie; Wolsztyn Lake), next to which is a former palace (built in Classical style in the early 20th century, and now used as a hotel and restaurant), and a park. The town has a parish church dating from the 18th century, as well as several other museums.

Poznan (Latin: Posnania; German: Posen) is a city on the river in west-central Poland, with a population of 551,627 in the end of 2010, the city with its suburbs form the largest metropolitan area in western Poland. Poznań is among the oldest cities in Poland, and was one of the most important centres in the early Polish state, whose first rulers were buried at Poznań's cathedral. It is claimed to be the first capital of the kingdom of Poland. Poznań is now Poland's fifth largest city. It is the historical capital of the Wielkopolska (Greater Poland) region, and is currently the administrative capital of the province called Greater Poland Voivodeship.
Poznań is today one of the largest Polish centers of trade, industry, sports, education, tourism and culture. More recently it also claims to be an important design center as a number of initiatives were undertaken: Concordia Design, Poznan School of Form, Art&Fashion Festival to mention only a few. Poznań is also becoming a know-how hub with many technological parks and transfer of knowledge centers (the oldest one started in 1995 is Poznan Science and Technology Park.
The city hosts regular international trade fairs and was the host city for the United Nations Climate Change Conference in December 2008, a key stage in the creation of a successor to the Kyoto Protocol. Poznań was one of the host cities for the association football tournament UEFA Euro 2012. The city also hosts a number of rowing world cup events by the Malta lake (for example ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships in 1990, 2001, and again in 2010). Also, a great number of various international festivals takes place in the city - Transatlantyk -- Poznań International Film and Music Festival, Malta International Theater Festival and Maski Festival to name just a few.
In 2012 the Poznan's Art and Business Center Old Brewery (Stary Browar) won a competition organized by National Geographic Traveler and was given the first prize as one of the seven New Polish Wonders. Poznań has been placed at high positions (very often the first one in Poland) in many ratings as a city with a very high quality of life.[1][2] The city has also won many times a prize awarded by Superbrands for a very high quality brand of city of Poznań (city as a brand).
Poznan along with two other Polish cities Wrocław and Kraków were classified in 2010 as high sufficiency cities by Globalization and World Cities Research Network and thus they all have a chance to become global cities in a near future given their fast development pace.
