Kino travels the world on the back of Hermes, an unusual, anthropomorphic motorcycle. Together they roam from country to country, never staying in any one place for more than three days.

By their own rule, they never stay anywhere longer than three days — just enough time to learn a place's customs and meet its people before moving on.
