full bio
Jonathan B. Roy has cycled the planet: 40,000 km through 40 countries over 4 years. From England to Japan, through Central Asia and across South America.
After his mother passed away at 55, wanting to take on something extraordinary, he set off for one year. That year kept multiplying, and the adventure became his work and his way of life. He is a journalist and the author of two best-selling French-language books, Histoires à dormir dehors, and has given talks in three languages, from Uruguay to China.
Nicknamed “the slowest cyclist in Eurasia,” he opens a window on the world through an incredible series of adventures and encounters. Through his remarkable stories, he explores with humour our relationship with time and money, and reveals the worst-tasting thing in the world.
