By the YouTube sensation with three million followers, the inspiring account of a young woman who, in a moment of personal crisis, embarked on an epic, transcontinental motorcycle ride—and along the way found a new sense of purpose.
Noraly Schoenmaker was a thirtysomething geologist living in the Netherlands when she learned that her live-in partner had been having an affair. In desperate need of a new beginning, she decided to quit her job and jet off to India. But her plans were dashed when she fell quickly and helplessly in love: with a motorcycle. Behind the handlebars of a Royal Enfield, a short tour of the Himalayas quickly morphed into an epic 20,000-mile journey. She would cover remote and utterly unfamiliar territory, break down on impossibly steep mountains, and push too many miles down empty roads. But through her travels, she discovered the true beauty and simplicity of the world’s open spaces, the kindness of its people, and a newfound, unshakable belief in her capabilities.
Free Ride is a “no-frill, from-the-heart” (BBC) story of self-discovery and renewal that is filled with unforgettable figures and hilarious disasters, showing what happens when you open your heart and let the world in.

Noraly describes how she travels from india through central asia, meeting the kindest peoples on her journey and the hardest challenges.. and then suddenly you have a very detailed images before your imaginary eye, because you saw exactly the described scene already before in one of her videos on YouTube which makes the whole story soo much deeper.
But even if one never saw her videos on YouTube I'm sure they are packed by her story immediately. For me it was the reason to make my motorcycle license. She is such an incredible role model, living the life in freedom with an open mind.
amazing book about traveling the world by bike
