Ginamarrie had "Life Lesson from the Road
Traveling solo has some ups and down. This journey has allowed me to step back and acknowledge those lessons and to learned from them.
My husband and I always had big dreams to travel across North America on our bikes; little did we know that a cancer diagnosis would rob us of pursuing that adventure—at least together.
Over a year ago, we learned that my husband had stage IV lung cancer. He had a couple of months or mere weeks to live. So, while he was in hospice, he set me aside and said, "Remember our vacation dream to take a motorcycle trip around North America when we retired?" Sadly, I shook my head yes. He told me, "Life is too short. Don't wait until retirement. When I'm gone, sell our house and follow our dreams."
Since he has passed, I have been learning how to stand on my own two feet while closing the estate, learning how to maintain my own motorcycle, and traveling on a trip of a lifetime on the back roads of North America and Baja on a small cc motorbike, the Yamaha TW200 "

"Come hear his story. The story begins with a touching saga of saying the "Long Goodbye" to his lovely wife, Chris. And the romance they shared over 20 years. Before the motorcycle adventure of a lifetime!
Mark will share some photos and videos from the travels, and answer the big questions of why someone would leave the comfort of home to Ride around the world, what bikes he rode (3 main bikes), some of the challenges, logistics and costs of a trip like this, and a few stories of the life on the road!

This young lady rode her 125 Honda from tip of South America back to her home in Seattle.
"By her 30th birthday in 2014, Elisa Wircala, a Spanish teacher from Seattle, Washington, had already traveled to over 30 countries and motorcycled more than 30,000 miles in 4 continents and 25 countries. Often solo and always on a tight budget, this frugal teacher has an unstoppable passion for adventure."
