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,
I am quite new on HU. I was traveling in the last three months in west Africa in overlanding as a travel companion. I met a kiwi woman coming from Sudan heading cape town on her bike with others travelers. We were in Addis Abeba in Ethiopia.
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.

I've done 29,000 then 65,000 all over Oz on my scooters...
then in '06 took my 16 year old daughter as pillion to Europe on a scooter for 4 months
and just returned from another solo trip around Europe by scooter.

Next year I am upgrading to a Postie Bike to do a lap of Oz.

I've never done that type of travelling, but let me tell you, ladies: your stories are fun to read and very inspiring! even if I don't own a bike now...I might consider to change that! And I will drop in this thread every now and then to see further stories you have to tell!

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.
