With his trusty Moto Guzzi Le Mans as his companion, Chris Donaldson set out to explore the world, leaving behind a city torn apart by sectarian violence. As he travels across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, he encounters a cast of characters that will change his life forever.   Chris was the UK Master Franchisor for a fitness company, developed a health and fitness franchise, and a mobile app company in Dubai where he lived for eight years with his family on a forty-seven-foot yacht. As Chris navigates the challenges and joys of the open road, he learns important lessons about perseverance, friendship, and the importance of following one's dreams. His memoir, "Going the Wrong Way" is not just a travel memoir but a story about finding oneself amid chaos and the transformative power of travel.

Over 40,000 miles (not counting 10,000 more crewing on an ocean-going racing yacht) through 33 countries - there are enough harum-scarum life lessons to keep you listening on! All along the way, there are formidable roadblocks: trigger-happy boy soldiers with AK-47s in war-torn Africa, the Sahara Desert, the Andes, waves the size of Everest that threaten to sweep him overboard, hepatitis E in South America, and PTSD when he got home - and that's only the half of it. This odyssey, seen through the eyes of someone in their early 20s, fresh for the Belfast troubles and lived out in the early 1980s, is raw in its exposure but thoughtful in its deliberations and revealing about the regimes and cultures it passes through.

Join Media Storm LIVE at Kings Place, London, Saturday 16th Sep, 7pm: https://www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/words/media-storm-2/ This is the first in a three-part Media Storm investigation into institutional racism in UK police forces. In it, we provide statistical evidence of institutional racism at a recruitment level and, with the help of lived experience, identify where it is occurring and how to fix it. This investigation follows the conclusion of Police Uplift, a three-year initiative by the Conservative Government to recruit 20,000 new police officers. This was a once-in-a-generation opportunity to ensure police forces represent the communities they serve, an opportunity that the government and National Police Chief's Council promised would be seized. Yet Media Storm's data falsifies a key assumption informing their diversity schemes, one that is also used to excuse slow progress: the idea that People of Colour are less likely to apply to be police officers than people of White British ethnicity. For Police Uplift, Media Storm reveals, Minority Ethnic groups were over-represented among police candidates, but underrepresented among those appointed. This proves that the problem lies not with communities but with the assessment process, during which minorities are eliminated at discriminatory rates. Join Media Storm and guest experts for an in-depth dive into what is going wrong, as we ask the question: What does “institutional racism” actually mean? The episode is created by Mathilda Mallinson (@mathildamall) and Helena Wadia (@helenawadia).

We reconnected with TinOne's Executive Chairman, Chris Donaldson, last week to talk about the company's latest exploration news, including re-sampling historic core for lithium while the company continues to keep tin in its sights. We also chat about the strategy in Tazmania as the company continues to develop their assets.

Brought up in 1970s Belfast during the Troubles, Chris planned for years to escape Northern Ireland and ride a motorcycle to Australia. But the Iranian revolution closed the road east and he spent the next two years traveling the world on trains, planes, bikes and yachts. After blasting through blizzards in the Austrian Alps, he found himself trapped in Israel, then in Syria and Jordan, being held up by local Militia with machine guns.

Chris Donaldson is a passionate adventurer and author. His recent acclaimed book, Going the Wrong Way,” has garnered over 300 five-star reviews on Amazon. In 1979, Chris embarked on a planned 4-month, 10,000-mile motorcycle trip from Belfast on his café racing Moto Guzzi motorcycle, driven by a desire for self-discovery. Although his journey to Australia was interrupted by the Iranian revolution, Chris persevered, traveling over 50,000 miles and ending up high in the Andes before returning home. His book, “Going the Wrong Way,” chronicles this incredible ‘coming of age' road trip and his adventurous spirit. Chris is currently riding to Australia once again, this time on the same Moto Guzzi Le Mans road bike, 42 years later.

Mindfulness helps him stay calm and peaceful. Instead of reacting impulsively, he takes a pause and breathes. Mindfulness gives Chris time to think before responding. By being mindful, Chris feels more in control of his emotions. Mindfulness has become his tool for finding balance and inner peace. Thoughts on Breathing Chris did not have any comments or tips about breathing as it relates to mindfulness. Suggested Resources Book: Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M Pirsig Book: Going The Wrong Way: A Coming of Age Story Like No Other by Chris Donaldson App: No, I think we spend too much time on our phones as it is Bullying Story Chris Donaldson shared a story about how mindfulness could have made a difference in dealing with bullying. He mentioned Irish politics as an example where politicians are stuck in the past, constantly fighting and unable to move on mentally. They engage in bullying tactics without considering the benefits of coming together. Chris highlighted the irony of former arch-enemies Paisley and Martin McGinnis becoming great friends later in life. This showed that it's possible to overcome mental barriers and develop new relationships. However, individuals more recently who have experienced the same struggles have not managed to move forward the way Paisley and Martin McGinnis have done.

“The reason you make the journey, is for the journey- not the destination” - Chris DonaldsonEPISODE OVERVIEW:Have you heard the one about the young man from Belfast, Ireland who grew up during war-torn times, learned to be self-reliant, and motivated himself past it all. You know, the one where he didn't quit on his dreams, but started on his journey, and made sure he finished it even though it took him 43 years. Even with Parkinson's today, our guest talks about just doing "it", and finishing what we start in life; whatever that "it" is.  He's an adventure, businessman, entrepreneur, motorcycle enthusiast, and world traveler. Ladies & Gentlemen, welcome to the Chris Donaldson story! GUEST BIO: From Belfast, Ireland, Best-Selling Author of Going the Wrong Way, Chris Donaldson. When he left Belfast in 1979, his original plan was to ride to Australia, but never made it. Ending up in Argentina nearly 2 years later, he rode across the Sahara desert, travelled through Africa to Cape Town, where he hitched a ride on a yacht race back to Europe. Then he went to the USA and rode from Canada south through Central America and South America to Buenos Aires. All of this and more is in his Amazon best-selling book 'Going the Wrong Way.' Chris decided to finally complete the journey 42 years after his return from South America to take the same Moto Guzzi to Australia. SHOW NOTES:Guest Contact Info:Website: https://chrisdonaldson.worldFacebook: @goingthewrongway.bookInstagram: @goingthewrongway_book CORE THEMES, KEYWORDS, & MENTIONS:Belfast, civil war, Northern Ireland, South Africa, apartheid, self reliant, coming of age, retirement age, Parkinson's disease, motorcycles, cross country trip, international travel, risk adverseSupport the showWant Even More?

This is a coming-of-age road trip like no other. Chris Donaldson is an adventurous man with a motivation that drove him to embark on a journey of self-discovery. He left Belfast in 1979. He originally planned a 10k-mile motorcycle ride to Australia but didn't make it. The Iranian revolution stopped him and forced him to take a detour. That took him to the peaks of The Andes, and he upped his mileage to 50k before returning to Belfast. Chris is the author of ”Going the Wrong Way,” which chronicles a worldwide voyage of self-discovery and brings the reader in to share his experiences.  42 years later, Chris is now, again, on a ride to Australia, on the same Moto Guzzi Le Mans. He decided to finally complete the journey with an old friend, Liam Lavery and is making the journey in stages as they both have wives, children, and jobs.

Chris Donaldson talks about his journey traveling the world in a motorbike when he was in his twenties, and now in his 60's he is traveling the world again on the same motorbike he traveled in his 20s. Now he faces Parkinson's Disease with aches and pains being an older man, but his passion to see the world riding his motorbike keeps him motivated. Biography:When I left Belfast in 1979 my original plan was to ride to Australia, on my Moto Guzzi Le Mans. I never made it down under and ended up in Argentina nearly 2 years later.I travelled through the Middle East, rode across the Sahara Desert and down to Cape Town, where I hitched a ride on a yacht race back to Europe. I then went to the USA and rode from Canada south through Central America and South America to Buenos Aires.I have recently published my book 'Going the Wrong Way,' which is an Amazon best-seller. I decided to finally complete the journey this year, 44 years after my return from South America and take the very same Moto Guzzi to Australia.I started traveling with an old friend Liam Lavery and made the journey in stages, as we both have wives, children, and jobs. If all goes well, we will continue to America and complete the round the world journey.Liam was riding a new Moto Guzzi V85, and it was interesting to see how the new bike (and younger rider!) compared with my trusty old 1977 Moto Guzzi Le Mans and myself.We would be totally unsupported in our journey across the world. We travelled down Europe to Athens, before shipping to Israel and be refused entry to Jordan. Returning to Athens Liam decided he had had enough and came home. I continued alone on the next leg through Turkey and Iran to Dubai.From Dubai I crossed Iran again to Pakistan then on to and India, and Nepal where I left the bike to fly it to Australia, as Myanmar is still closed.Along with the usual political and geographical challenges, I had Covid 19 against me. Adventure before Dementia There were other interesting aspects to the journey.When I left in 1979 I was 21 years old, so the trip turned into a ‘coming of age' story. Now at 64, I will have more in Common with Don Quixote, and a coming of OLD age story!I have also been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and have various other aches and pains associated with old age!We also connected new with old in other ways. My 1977 Guzzi had to keep up with Liam's 2021 bike, and I had to compare myself to my  innocent but pretty dumb 21 year old self!Other things are just the same. Iran and the west are still falling out. Israel is still at war and the same old arguments still go on in Northern Ireland, albeit without the guns and bombsI am 64 years old and have worked in many areas.Retail furniture, property development, health and Fitness, and recently mobile apps in Dubai for 8 years.I am now a published author with my book, Going the Wrong Way regularly on Amazons best sellers' lists.

TinOne's Chris Donaldson provides his corporate commentary on the latest drill results from the company's Great Pyramid Project is Tasmania.

The US federal government is no longer within the boundaries that the Founding Fathers set up to limit the power of Washington. Dan Mitchell, a leading fiscal-policy economist, argues consecutive presidential administrations have increased federal spending, and they have made higher taxes a near certainty. A former senior fellow with the Cato Institute and the Heritage Foundation, Mitchell warns that US politicians consider tax competition a threat and that they have been promoting a tax cartel as a response. While the United States remains competitive regarding income taxes in contrast to some European countries, it is one of the worst jurisdictions when it comes to taxing capital. In our weekly Inventa Capital segment, Chris Donaldson, executive chairman of TinOne (TSX-V: TORC.V), reports on the latest drilling results from the Great Pyramid Project, Tasmania. Donaldson, who just returned from visiting the company's projects in Australia, also notes positive news regarding the broader tin market. As reported by Andy Home of Reuters: "The faster the world moves towards the internet-of-things, the more tin will be needed to glue the expanding metaverse together." After a five-week price rebound, Donaldson expects the bull run to continue and drive up equities prices.

In this episode of “The Journey of My Mother's Son” podcast, I sit down to talk with Chris Donaldson. At 21 years old, Chris didn't look like an Aboriginal adolescent as he set off from Belfast on his café racing Moto Guzzi. but it was the same motivation that drove him to set off on a journey of self-discovery. But when the Iranian revolution stopped the planned 10,000-mile motorcycle road trip to Australia, he ends high in the Andes, 50-odd thousand miles later, before returning to Belfast. His book, Going the Wrong Way is a story of a ‘coming of age' road trip like no other. Chris is now riding to Australia, on the same Moto Guzzi Le Mans, 42 years after his first attempt.
