A British doctor nearing 30 decides to bike around the world, an epic journey over six years spent exploring and volunteering his medical services throughout six continents, where he learns how societies treat their most vulnerable.

What The Reviewers Say

Kevin Canfield,
The Star Tribune
The 'little acts of charity' recounted in Fabes’ first book are quietly powerful. The British doctor’s Signs of Life is a plucky memoir about the six years he spent cycling around the world. His journey was eventful and sobering.
Tony Miksanek,
Booklist
Witty and wild, intrepid and inspirational, the book chronicles two parallel journeys: Fabes’ physical cycling tour of many countries and his look at health across the globe.

Kirkus
... an epic journey.
