Chad Hoffman shares the stories, challenges, and lessons from a six-month motorcycle journey around the world. The trip inspired his book Hotrod`s Ride to the Other Side, and no destination left a bigger mark than Mongolia.
The overland community is welcoming to all, super inspiring, and just generally amazing.
Discussions with Terry melted our hearts and inspired us in so many ways. While she’s had an extremely tough few years, she’s found her way forward as a solo retired traveler living the overland lifestyle. As she says; don’t rust, keep moving.
