Category: WOW Women On Wheels

Starting at the end of May I too will be WOW! Thanks For being my inspiration on two wheels! Artsy Wheels  

´´I’ve been following your adventures for a while now….until I started my own. I’m on a 2 months Thailand solo trip, as a starter before big solo travelling at the end of the year. I wanted to see how it feels like…I am loving (almost) all of it.  I don’t know if I fit into the category ‘solo’, since I travel with Hairy, the fluffy guy sitting on my tent on the rear rack´´Agata Królikowska (polish website w/ some french and english)

´´My month of cycling Sulawesi was BLISS………and I am already planning to return for more next year! Who KNEW there were so many women out there doing this?  I plan on forwarding your ‘WOW wall’ to all my friends and family who think I’m nuts! THANKS for providing this forum!´´ Maureen from Canada

´´I came across your WOW page when I was deciding whether or not to venture off on my first ever bicycle tour, doing solo. Seeing that so many women around the world are also on their own on the road and loving it helped cement my resolve to get going.

I’ve camped in the wild four times so far and quite enjoyed the experience The simplicity of life on the road is incredibly peaceful.´´Cat 

“I’m a french Canadian woman for two years, from 2006-2007, I biked with my ex. I have decided to hit the road again and to not be scared or wait for someone else to go along with me…live your life with no regrets. If you are told that it’s impossible, do it and you will see how easy it is! I love being solo. I will be on the road for a year (2014-2015) heading east, who knows where I will end this trip” Genevieve Fortin

“We have just returned from cycling in Zimbabwe for a month. Times are tough in Zimbabwe but they are ALL friendly, kind and helpful people. Cycling is a great way to travel as you get to see things and meet people that other travelers miss. We loved it so much that we are planning to cycle Malawi next year!”Judy Burrows and Debbie Thomas from South Africa

“I just found WOW….so great to read and see all the great photos and blogs etc. of other female solo cyclists…Inspiring!” Rebecca Milton-Lee

Astrid Fisher, a pharmacist by profession, is cycling around the world working on route as a dive master. She says “I knew living in cities would never satisfy my desire for outdoor activities”

I was delighted when Rachel Banfield got in touch with me via email (skalatitude@gmail.com) to let me know that the WOW Wall was great resource for reassuring her mom of her plans. Rachel’s a photographer, currently she is in China documenting the stories of inspiring women she meets along the way! Find her on her beautiful photography website or facebook page!
