Thank you so much for this great site. As I ride and enjoy some of the finest moments in my life I often wonder how to inspire and empower more women to get out into the world on their own! This is a great start… I started my trip in Helsinki in May and have been wiggling my way down through Europe, spent a month relaxing in Croatia and now I am doing a loop in the Alps. I have no planned end to my journey.
