Ep. 45 Heather Ellis

Heather is a motorbike adventurer who survived contracting AIDS in the early 90's. When you didn't.

Her remarkable solo adventures from South to North Africa Africa and then along the silk roads from Western Europe, Russia  and Asia have been captured in her two best selling books (below).

Prior to her silk roads trip she was given the horrendous diagnosis. At that time it was a death sentence. But she chose to take the trek anyway and it became a spiritual journey for her.

It's a tale of remarkable resilience and determination. Can you imagine travelling solo for months with that diagnosis hanging over your head?
