What Happens When a Solo Woman Cycles Across the World...

from Kindred Roads Podcast · host Mary Goggin

What happens when a solo woman decides to cross continents by bicycle, trusting the kindness of strangers along the way? In this episode, Claire Wyatt shares the story of cycling across some of the most remote places on earth. From riding thousands of miles across Mongolia to cycling from Asia to the UK, Claire built a life on the road powered by curiosity, resilience, and the generosity of people she had never met before. Claire talks about navigating long stretches of wilderness, crossing rivers in Mongolia, cycling through Central Asia, and riding parts of the Pamir Highway. Along the way she experienced countless moments of unexpected kindness, from families inviting her into their homes to strangers helping when the road became difficult. We also talk about what it really takes to live this kind of unconventional life. Claire shares how she prepared for long distance cycling, the mental challenges of traveling alone for months at a time, and what she learned about trust, independence, and human connection along the way. This conversation is for anyone curious about long distance cycling, solo female adventure travel, or what happens when you step far outside the normal path and discover how supportive the world can actually be.
