Jack Few

While peddling 3,000 miles across India, Jack Few experiences an intoxicating relationship with India that unfolds from the open road. A burning desire to expand his connection with both humanity and travel leads him into uncharted territory, where the powerful interplay between beauty and chaos becomes an evocative story told straight from the heart of the country’s people, spirit and rugged interior.


An Eastern Tailwind is a work of creative travel literature, a philosophical exploration of the essence of adventure, and most importantly, an ode to India.

Out December 16th!

In 2017, an adventurous Australian couple had their ‘f*ck it’ moment. They were done travelling in the same tried and tested ways. They wanted a challenge, something unforgettable, something unique to write home about.

On a whim they moved to Canada and bought a disused ’98 short bus on Craigslist. You know, one of those yellow school buses we’ve all seen in films? And with minimal experience, little money and a lot of innovation they converted it into the beautiful mobile home before you.

Hard-bound and adorned with beautiful imagery, she’s more than just a pretty face to grace your coffee table. Comprised of two parts, the first details the step-by-step process of converting an old bus into a mobile home. Caravan, bus, van or boat, the information here has applications to any mode of transport. Part two is a deep-dive into the trip itself and the outdoor and culinary adventure that ensued. Packed with travel anecdotes, recommended hiking trails, breweries and wineries across the country, Sasha and Brent leave no reasonable stone unturned when it comes to discovering the best of what's on offer.

Michael Maine

On Vélo chronicles Maine’s hapless bicycle trip across the English Channel with his friend Maggie, a romantic optimist “born 30 years too late”. The two concoct an ill-prepared cross-country journey into the heart of rural France in a quest for freedom and adventure, dragging their bunch of motley international friends along for the ride. Maine’s observations on humanity while smoking his way through the countryside, and the group's Beat-generation lifestyle, makes On Vélo a captivating portrayal of longing and timeless friendship in the formative years between youth and adulthood.

Casting Caution to the Wind tells the intrepid stories of lone travellers whose transborder trips are a search for authenticity, meaning and true experience - those who approach adventure as an attitude to be chosen, rather than an experience to be curated or bought.

Sun Rider Press collates the first-hand accounts of ten everyday nomads whose journeys cross the length and breadth of the planet via bicycle, hitchiking, train and bus, with a common cause to resurrect the boldness and curiousity that many of us lose in adulthood. Whether it’s the humbling discomfort of rubbing against your own privilege in rural Nepal, the awakening that comes from strange encounters, or the memorable compadre who guides you when lost, these stories are intimately raw in their unravelling, as much as they are universal.

It’s a spirited celebration of unconventional journeys and means, trusting in the goodness of strangers, and removing the barriers between us at a time when the interactions of the global community are more troubled and siloed than ever. Blending heart-thumping adventure and humane musings, Casting Caution to the Wind uncovers the wild mysteries that stretch between home and an unknown destination somewhere on the road.
