A woman. A motorcycle. A world.
How I circumnavigated the world by motorcycle and what I learned from it.

Your world. Your job. Your friends. Your life as you know it. Imagine leaving all this behind – and just riding your motorcycle. Eighteen months, fifty countries, six continents and ninety thousand kilometers of adventure.
In her travelogue, Lea Rieck tells a touching story of falling and resurrecting, of courage and serenity, of faith in herself and others, empathy, hope and determination. From one who moved out – but who did not learn to fear, but found adventure, friendship and love on her own rocky path. The moment that changes everything can come at any time. At Lea Rieck, it's a normal Monday morning in the office when she sees a colleague pouring a houseplant with Evian water. She quits her job, leaves her comfort zone and sets off on a journey around the world – only her motorcycle and her, all alone. But what do you do if a military coup takes place in front of the window, the new acquaintance turns out to be a Russian sniper, or you burn your eyes in a high desert? Learn his lessons and move on. The journey takes them past 8,000-metre-high mountains in Pakistan, temples and palaces in India, the safe shores of Australia, the driest desert in the world in Chile and Bolivia – and finally back to Germany. Breathless, she is guided by her intuition and instincts, experiences the highs and lows of solo travel, begins to see the world with new eyes and discovers life in its different facets and forms.
