None bike stuff - I lived in a Merc Unimog for a year and drove across Europe to Ukraine then back to France and though Morocco down to Ghana.
Next:
I'm riding in Mongolia for a month on the way back to the UK.
Planning a ride up thorough South America starting in January.

India, Vietnam and now Africa
hi all
together with my husband we've ridden enfield's in the indian himalayas and minks the length of Vietnam.
In september we're leaving Europe and (all being well) heading all the way to Cape Town. We'll be on MT 350's old army bikes, tough as old boots and (hopefully easy to fix if needed).
So this time next year I should be able to join the 'continent' club!!

Hi SJ,

Humbly I give my hat to all these women traveling all around the world.
Take care and keep going ladies!

That Might Be Me!
Hey,
Im another lone kiwi travelling around the world.
This is my second trip I'm undergoing now - Australia to Africa and of course around on a DR350! I'm currently in Tanzania after leaving home October 2010.
I have a long way to go! But im enjoying it so so much!
My first trip was in 2008 Bangkok to Moscow on a xr 250 only for 10months covering 28,000km with only 6 months of road riding under my belt.
Keep it up ladies!! Let the smile spread across your face!

There certainly are some km/miles clocked up here already. You ladies are all an inspiration, keep up the good work. I hope one day to join you. I have only ridden in Australia and I still have most of it to see on the bike. I am planning a trip in 2017 (when I can get long service leave) the main goal is to ride Ireland and the UK but I would love to ship into Turkey to see Gallipoli and then make my way from there to the UK.

Just so you know.
It snows in Greece! Down on the Peloponnese, Mycenae ... close to the sea... snow on the mountains in December. I was camping... look out one morning to see white stuff on the mountains. Was nice camping there by the way.
May not worry a taswegian, but was a bit of a surprise for me.

How cool - I never knew there were so many!!
Not sure I count... my bike doesn't have an engine! But I have cycled through Africa alone, and North America and Central America (notched up about 40,000km in total). And start biking across Asia tomorrow starting in Siberia (as much of Black Sea to Bering Sea as I can, although I'm having to do it in 2 parts, summer and winter).
Better still, I got my license earlier this year so after this trip I'm upgrading to a motorbike  Then it'll count...

Membership - help keep us going!
