What if you had the courage to follow your dreams?

As a young woman, Terri Jockerst had a dream. She dreamt of new cultures, strange foods, a never-ending road unfurling ahead of her, and a bicycle to take her to freedom. She did not dream of cold showers, tyre punctures or being chased by slavering dogs. However, these are all part of life on the road and the freedom it promises.

Having reached her sixties, Terri decided to throw all caution to the winds, and set off on a long bike ride from the North Cape of Norway to Malta, a distance of some seven thousand kilometres. The ride took 193 days, spread over three trips in three years. During her travels, Terri came face to face with reindeer, researched Viking runestones, dealt with flat tyres, tackled nudist bathing, dined in the Alps with other intrepid female solo cyclists, was awed by the Byzantine art of Italy, and eventually reached the sun-drenched island of Malta.

The first question Terri was always asked was: ""Are you alone?"" The second question, ""Aren't you afraid?"" came straight after. Terri admits to fear but learnt to overcome that fear by finding the inner strength to go on, regardless. As she has said to anyone who has asked, and many who haven't: ""If I can do it, you can too!""

Read this book, get inspired, and follow your dreams!
