One of the reasons I listen to books is to hear the words the author wrote in their own voice. And Jacqui's narration is an absolute delight. She's clear, likeable, gentle, self-effacing and curious. Her journey takes place over a seven-year period, but of course there's generally a catalyst for such a journey and very often a period of readjustment when it's ended. Jacqui is honest and open from the beginning to the end; from the 'prologue' (if you like), to the 'afterword' (which I found particularly moving). The physical journey took her round the world on an Enfield Bullet motorbike – and you do need a certain amount of determination and savvy to undertake such a venture. The emotional journey runs parallel and is honest, and often raw. I absolutely love this book. Sure ... it will appeal to those who like travel (some wonderfully evocative descriptions of places), bikes and biking adventures. But more than that, this is an account of a middle-aged woman making brave decisions – big and small – in order to learn about herself. Definitely worth checking out.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Jacqui’s honest, funny and emotional story. Her courage and independence as a female traveller is inspirational, and it was fantastic to hear her tell the story herself through the audiobook. A great book for motorbike enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys travel.

Disliked nothing. As a very experienced traveller myself having spent many years at a similar time in many of the same countries ... l found her sensitivity to those countries and people honest and endearing. I enjoyed the book immensely and didn't want it to end. She is one adventurous bird travelling very authenticically. Loved that she narated it herself!
