What you need to know before your trail
When Esa Aldegheri and her husband left their home in Orkney, Esa didn’t know that their eighteen-month motorbike adventure would take them through twenty international frontiers – between Europe and the Middle East, through Pakistan, China and India – many of which are now impassable.
Travel Guide
From Orkney across the world to Australia and NZ
Charting a story of shrinking and expanding liberties and horizons, of motherhood, womanhood, xenophobia and changing geopolitical situations, Free to Go examines the challenges of navigating a world where many assume that women ride pillion, both on a motorbike and within relationships. Part around-the-world adventure, part-literary exploration of womanhood, Free to Go is about the journeys that shape and transform us.
The full journey:
Orkney – Italy, Greece – Turkey – Syria – Lebanon – Jordan – Pakistan – Xinjiang – Tibet – Wuhan – Bjing – Peshawar – Ladakh – Kashmir – North/South India – Western/South Australia and then to Aotearoa New Zealand.
