Hi MissAdv,
Don’t let anyone to talk you down. Life is full of “naysayers”... Ignore them and surround yourself with positive people who can enlighten your life.
There are lots of people who have zero mechanic experience and they still set off on a bike trip around the world, male, female, solo or not…
You will travel on a Vespa. Any issue you may have on the way can be dealt locally, I am sure. And if it gets beyond repairs.. . you will find a solution. There is always a solution, even if it means changing the engine for a Chinese copy (done and dusted!) or wait a long time for parts to come.
As for danger? There is danger everywhere these days. The most dangerous thing in a trip like that is the poor driving standards in most countries... keep you eyes on your mirrors and you will be fine.
This is something you always wanted to do, don’t let anyone to talk you out of that. Don't live with regrets of what you could have done and did not because some idiot with no imagination talked you out of it.
Navigation? You will be on an overland trip! You can’t get lost, as you don’t have a precise destination on a day to day basis. Follow the sun, the stars, you instinct and your fancies. Remember that the final destination is just a way to define your journey, what matters is the trip itself! Embrace it, enjoy it and do it! And go where the hell you like, even if it is the opposite direction of your destination!
And then, when you come back ,tell us of your adventures.
Come and join us at the HUBB meeting in Wales, next month. There, you will meet great people and make friends for life with people who will respect your dreams! You may even, later on, meet some of them on the road! Or even travel with them for some sections.
