Travel Story: lisa morris and jason spaf
My fears differ somewhat to Jason's
apprehensions. Having only passed
my test in 2012, I hope I can fully
embrace the learning curve so my
riding ability doesn’t end up dictating
where we go. Completing the BMW
Level 1 off road skills course is already
reaping rewards for me when off
tarmac. As someone that wasn’t a
natural rider, getting in some practice
beforehand was a must! Jason is a
fairly relaxed guy and hasn’t had any
real issues about the trip. It would be
mortifying though if we weren’t able
to accomplish the journey we’d set out
to do because of a mechanical
catastrophe or other unforeseen
incident. Although I have to agree
with Ted Simon – it’s often the
interruptions not the destination that
make not break a trip.
As we're now homeless, without off-
spring and free from the 9-5 job,
what better time to embrace some
life-changing adventure. Over the
next 18 months, we’ll wend our way
up the Americas on from Patagonia
to Prudhoe Bay. We’d like to see as
many countries by means of the
scenic routes off road where
possible, trying our best to avoid
the freeways and highways. I have
no idea when we’ll get to Alaska or
what we’ll do when we arrive; I only
know that the world is open and
calling. Life is for living, why not
live it loudly! Please follow us at
