This episode features guest Tara Weir, a seasoned adventurer who has cycled over 45,000 kilometres through 24 countries. Tara shares her experiences of navigating some of the world's most isolated landscapes, from the Australian outback to the old Silk Road, to the Western Wildlands route in North America as well as Kenya's Bike Odyssey. 

From her first organised tour through Tibet and Nepal, to her solo journeys across continents, Tara has been adventuring since 2011. She talks about the challenges of cycling through remote areas, the kindness of strangers, and the pull of discovering it all through bikepacking.

We also dive into the emotional aspects of long-distance cycling, including the feelings of loneliness and the post-adventure blues. Tara offers valuable insights on how to deal with these emotions and the importance of having a community to come back to.
