Free Ride by Noraly Schoenmaker is the inspiring account of a woman in her thirties who embarked on an epic motorcycle journey in the midst of personal crisis. Noraly, a geologist living in the Netherlands, found herself without a place to stay after discovering her partner's long-term affair. Determined to start anew, she quit her job and headed to India, where she unexpectedly fell in love – with a motorcycle.
Behind the handlebars, Noraly felt alive and free, traveling through jungles, deserts, and mountains. From the Pacific coast to Europe, she covered remote and unfamiliar territory, facing challenges such as breakdowns and navigating empty roads. Along the way, she encountered the kindness of strangers, the beauty of open spaces, and her own inner strength.
Drawing comparisons to The Motorcycle Diaries and Wild, Free Ride is a story of self-discovery and renewal. Filled with unforgettable characters, humorous mishaps, and meaningful connections, it is a testament to the transformative power of travel and opening one's heart to the world.
