A talk by Naomi Johnson about her round-the world cycle ride. A fundraising event for Kirkandrews Kirk on Friday, 7th November at 6:45 p.m.
Aged 36 and ready for a change in her life, Naomi set off to cycle the world on the adventure of a lifetime – with a man she’d met only three times before!
With early school reports noting Naomi would be better at sport if she at least turned up, this is not an athlete’s journey – but the story of an ordinary person with a great opportunity and a can-do attitude.
The trip would be life-changing, seeing Naomi travel almost 20,000 miles and through 26 countries, including riding from Cairo to Capetown and crossing over the 5,416m Thorong-la pass in Nepal.
Naomi’s inspiring memoir is a story of overcoming challenges, making the most of life’s opportunities and, of course, of travel, cycling, relationships and the oft-missed part of travel writing – how do you adjust to life on your return home?
