ISBN: 9789814193696

Not content with scaling the highest mountains in the world and achieving other superhuman feats, Singaporean adventurer Khoo Swee Chiow undertakes another challenge: to set a Guinness World Record for the longest journey on skates. This book chronicles his 94 days on the road, skating more than 6,000 kilometres from Hanoi to Singapore. Swee Chiow's adventure takes him over rivers, through chaotic city traffic, across steep and remote mountain passes and villages in Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Malaysia. Part travelogue, part adventure diary, World's Longest Journey on Skates gives us an insight into the conquering mindset of Southeast Asia's greatest adventurer.
