By the YouTube sensation with two and a half million followers, the
inspiring account of a young woman who, in a moment of personal crisis,
embarked on an epic, transcontinental motorcycle ride—and along the way
found a new sense of purpose.
Noraly Schoenmaker was a thirtysomething geologist living in the
Netherlands when she learned that her live-in partner had been having a
long-term affair. In desperate need of a new beginning, she decided to
quit her job and jet off to India. But her plans were dashed when she
fell quickly and helplessly in love: with a motorcycle. Behind the
handlebars, she felt alive and free—nimble enough to trace the
narrowest paths, powerful enough to travel the longest of roads.
First, she set off toward the Pacific, through the jungles of Myanmar
and Thailand, then into Malaysia. Rather than satisfy her appetite for
the open road, this ride only piqued it. She shipped her bike to Oman,
at the base of the Arabian Peninsula, and embarked on a journey through
Iran, across Tajikistan along its border with Afghanistan, over the
snowy peaks of Central Asia, and into Europe, all the way back home to
the Netherlands. She covered remote and utterly unfamiliar territory,
broke down on impossibly steep mountains, and pushed too many miles
along empty roads, farther and farther from civilization. But through
her travels, she discovered the true beauty of the world, the kindness
of its people, the simplicity of its open spaces, and a new and
unshakable belief in her capabilities.
Free Ride is an inspiring story of self-discovery and renewal. Filled
with unforgettable figures, hilarious disasters, and powerful human
connections, it shows you what happens when you open your heart and let
the world in.
