GOT2GO: How I rode around the world on a motorcycle solo and what I learned along the way

Your family. Your friends. Your job. Your language. Your life, as you know it. Imagine you leave all of this behind, and just go on a ride around the world. 18 months, 50 countries, 90.000 kilometers of adventure. In her travelogue, Lea Rieck tells a touching story of falling and getting up again, of courage and serenity, faith in oneself and other people, empathy, hope and determination. About setting out - but not to learn to fear the world, but to find adventure, friendship and love. The moment that changes everything can come at any time. For Lea Rieck, it's a normal Monday morning in the office when she sees a colleague watering a plant with Evian mineral water. She quits her job, leaves her comfort zone and sets off on a trip around the world. Just her motorcycle Cleo and her, all alone. But what do you do when there's a military coup right in front of your window? If your lover turns out to be a Russian sniper? Or if you burn your eyes in the highest altitude desert of the world? You learn your lesson and move on. The journey takes Lea past 8,000-meter-high mountains in Pakistan, through temples in India, to the safe shores of Australia, into the driest desert in the world in Chile and Bolivia - and in the end back to Germany. Breathlessly, she lets her intuition and instincts guide her, experiences the highs and lows of traveling alone, begins to see the world from a different angle, and discovers life in all its different facets and forms. "'Dwell in the land and you shall be fed.' - that is out of the question for Lea Rieck. The more adventurous, the better. The worst journeys, she says, are the best." Hans Magnus Enzensberger „Absolutely worth reading" - Podcast Cosmopolitan "Lea Rieck [...] convinces with polished language and clever analyses [...] a brilliant read with challenges and surprises even for non-motorcyclists. One wants to go on riding with Lea forever." - Motorrad Magazin "Wittily written, but still very close to heart [...] a real page-turner!“ - Motorrad AbenteuerRead more
