Planning & Preparations End of April 2018, I’m on the way back from my 6500 miles trip to Greece and Italy. Where do I go next? I already visited most of the European countries by bike, I want to go further. China, Himalayas? Around the world? With less than one thousand pounds in my bank […]
The Beginning
Hi, I’m Roxy and I’m about to set off on a 10 months long motorcycle trip around the world. But before I set off, I thought I would write a post about where it all started, to form the complete story. My real name is Roksana and I’m 23 years old at the time of […]
Greece & Italy 2018 (#7)
I only had one day to ride around Sicily (not even a full day). I was originally hoping to spend about 2 days there, but due to my sprocket carrier bearing collapsing I had to spend one day in Scilla, just before Sicily, to sort it out. While I was there, the garage that I […]
Greece & Italy 2018 (#6)
It was my last day in Greece. I found a nice and quiet camping spot at Elea beach the previous night. Beach was very long – as long as I could see – but it was empty. From there I had about 4 and half hours ride (the quickest way) to get to Igoumenitsa from […]
Greece & Italy 2018 (#5)
I was planning to stay at a campsite the previous night so that I could have a proper shower after 3 nights of wild camping and using wet wipes instead of shower. But since I broke my helmet visor mounting in the evening and had to find a shop to buy new helmet, by the […]

Day 7 – Greece 19/04/2018 The previous day consisted of small scenic twisty roads only. I did so many corners that day that when I woke up in the morning, I could still feel these corners in my head. I ended up pitching my tent up at the back of the restaurant where I stopped […]

Day 6 – Greece 18/04/2018 I didn’t make a lot of progress the previous day – I got to Thessaloniki where I stopped at a bike garage to try and fix the oil leak. Spent most of the day there and at first it seemed like oil leak was gone, but after about 10 minutes […]

Days 9-12 – Montenegro & Grossglockner 25/05/2017 Following most of the day spent with possibly the nicest people in Montenegro and riding around south part of the country, then getting soaked by the rain in the afternoon, I ended up in Podgorica where I found a cheap room for the night. I didn’t really know […]
