Lois Pryce is a reporter for the BBC, the author of several internationally acclaimed books, and, quite literally, a globe-trotter on two wheels. She’s traveled the world solo by motorcycle, including epic rides from London to Cape Town and across Iran; journeys that are nothing short of mind-boggling.

While Lois is also a banjo player, in this episode I really wanted to focus on her global adventures. Her stories are riveting, and she speaks about her travels with such excitement and passion that it’s impossible not to get swept up in them.

If you’re into stories about fearless exploration, cultural discovery, and bold curiosity, this one’s for you.
