An American woman has racked up the kms under the wheels of her motorcycle in an impressive round-the-world tour. When her partner mentioned that he and some friends were planning to ride from their home state of Alaska to the tip of South America, she said this sounded like a good idea and wanted to go along for the adventure as well. He said it would be too tough for her however, saying that it was suitable for his male friends only. She dumped him, sold off most of her belongings and then set off on her own instead. Although her Honda sportsbike is perhaps not the most suitable motorcycle for a round-the-world trip, she has ridden it through many countries in the time since, posting photos online of her journey. Her ex-boyfriend’s thoughts on her adventure are unknown.
