As another reviewer mentioned, the book needed some proofing. Other than that, an excellent read. Individual stories of this adventurous traveler's cultural breakthroughs and breakdowns around the world. I'd have gladly sat in her sidecar and held her bags to join her.

Sometimes I found it hard to keep up with the author. It's educational if you want to learn some about other countries.

Interesting and informative, giving an insight into what seems to be another world. Things that do not seem possible in this day and age people are living in conditions that are totally unthinkable in what is supposed to be a world beating country.

I really enjoyed this book, it is very well written and worth reading, I only wish it had been longer. I will look for any other books by the same author.

3.0 out of 5 stars Motorcycle book it ain't...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 15, 2018

Motorcycle on the front, title involving motorcycles and sidecars; one might expect a travel book involving them to have some discussion, some content, some critique of the chosen transport? Travel by motorcycle was why I bought the book. Sadly for me, whilst this is quite interesting and well written, don't take this on unless you don't care how someone gets to where they are, because in this case, the mode of travel is barely mentioned.

Previous reviewer says it's not a book about motorcycle travel? Eh? Did he even read it? It's a beautifully written book by a truly gutsy woman about travelling the world, mainly by motorbike or bike with sidecar outfit. The only thing that lets it down is the sloppy proofreading/editing.
