I have really been looking forward to this book, as I have been following Noraly (aka) Itchy Boots since she made her trip from Patagonia to Alaska. I have loved all of her adventures so far, but I was always curious as to what made her start her motorcycle travels on YouTube. This book gives you a good background for how and why she decides to take this journey. I love how she loves to travel solo and give us wonderful descriptions of the places she visits. Her channel is very well done , and makes a now, arm chair traveler, maybe want to get out there again.
If you don't follow her yet, this book would be good place to start, and then you have many YouTube, videos to enjoy afterward. Just pick the countries you are interested and and take a wonderful ride with Noraly. She is definitely worth following.
I would like to thank NetGalley and Atria books for a copy of this book.

this book was so captivating. I loved riding alongside Noraly on this amazing adventure, and I loved that I got to learn so much about countries I had never thought to look into before. I definitely think that it changed my perspective on a lot of different places in central Asia and I really enjoyed reading about her experiences and I learned so much about motorcycles and she definitely has a new subscriber/follower in me because I cannot wait to go back and look at all of her videos that she mentioned and her trip from Patagonia to Alaska. I loved the way she described the journey and I am so so in awe of her bravery and her guts to just decide to do this and for chasing her dreams and I am so thankful to the publisher and Noraly for giving me this ARC. I truly enjoyed this book. I had an amazing time riding alongside you.

What an adventure! I've never traveled far from home and have a daughter who loves to travel all over the globe - alone- like Noraly Schoenmaker does. So I was absolutely captivated by every page. It was so interesting to learn about places I've only heard of in the new (and some I've never heard of), but also to see how people are people everywhere and this world is safer than you think. Wonderful read that I've been thinking about ever since. Thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for the opportunity to read in exchange for my honest review.

This was just the book I needed when craving adventure. I appreciate the authors ability to capture the situation at hand. Thanks for the opportunity to read this one!
