If anyone needs an introduction more than I am capable of coming up with, it's Jacqui Kennedy. A political motorcycling pioneer who had ridden the Swiss Alps carving up Ducati motorcycles on a scooter, been nearly everywhere in Australia on our beloved and familiar Postie bike (A Honda CT110), and shared amazing stories about roads and places she's travelled along in the footsteps of amazing adventurers that existed long before Ted Simon thought about jumping on a bike. Respectfully without a doubt.

EmmaLucy Cole is a UK-based speaker, writer, explorer and researcher. She is a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, Associate Fellow of Higher Education Academy as a lecturer and co-director of the Vicarious Festival of Travel Storytelling. EmmaLucy is currently studying towards a PhD at the University of Bristol, researching how travel writers represent Arabic and Middle Eastern (SWANA) cultures.   After over two decades spent studying and representing North African and Middle Eastern cultures, in 2011 EmmaLucy decided to sell everything she owned in order to spend six weeks with a Bedouin tribe in Sinai, learning Arabic and researching local culture. Two years later she finally left, not only having gained a ginger Bedouin cat (called Bryan) and a myriad of stories, but also witnessing first-hand some of the ways in which marginalised groups can be misrepresented.   With this habit of visiting places and forgetting to leave, she has developed the concept of Downward Exploration: rather than travelling long distances and seeing many places superficially, this type of exploration allows us to focus in-depth on communities and local environments, learning about the cultures, habits, food and history – and forming connections which allow for deeper understanding and more ethical representations.   In 2018 EmmaLucy attended the Adventure Travel Film Festival in London and decided that motorcycles could be a powerful tool for connecting with people in marginalised cultures; crossing gender divides and enabling mobility and independence whilst on the road researching. She passed her test within a few months, bought a Triumph, and began exploring. She has presented talks at events such as the Overland Event UK about the joys and challenges of being a solo woman researcher, explorer and biker.   New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast go live every Tuesday and Thursday at 7am UK time - Make sure you hit the subscribe button so you don’t miss out.    The Tough Girl Podcast is sponsorship and ad free thanks to the monthly financial support of patrons.

ARR RAW Round Table Discussions With Motorcycle Adventure Travellers On this months RAW, at the round table we discuss if you really need a tent to go overlanding, is physical fitness important for a motorcycle trip, handling money in different countries and going to the toilet. Tents: Do you really need to go overlanding with a tent? Fitness: Is being physically fit an important part of setting out on a big trip? Money: How do you handle your money or money sources when travelling? Carrying money? Transferring money? Exchange? Do you spend all your money in a country before you leave it and then get money in the correct currency in the next country? Or how do you do it? Happy New Year: We’re in to 2018, what will the RAW panel get up to this year? ARR RAW Listener Question Answered:  James G: There's one thing that makes me hesitant about travelling through Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. It's not wild animals, dodgy food, or terrorists. It's poo. The idea of using a non-western toilet makes me pucker. How do you handle it? Do you bring your own loo-paper and pretend you are safe in your own bathroom? Or do you learn the lavatorial etiquette for each country you travel through?

Christmas With the RAW Panel:  Sometimes our travels take us to far away places, away from family and the homes we know. And we spend holidays and Christmas with new friends in strange places. Each of the hosts on the RAW panel share special memories of places they have spent this time of year.  Listener Questions: Many thanks to RAW listeners who have submitted questions for the panel and this month we answer the following: Brittany Scheid: "I have a few newbie riding questions. I got my license this fall, and so far I have been searching for a good starter bike for myself. I am 120 lbs, 5 foot 2 inches. I need a good bike to practice on too, where do you all recommend to practice, empty parking lots? or do you think going right out on normal roads? I don't have much experience yet and need to gain more confidence." TJ Lyons: "Can you talk about what jobs people could get into if they want to support the adventure lifestyle?" "... have heard of remote into type of jobs or careers that can be done on the road to make some money from wherever you are in the world."  On the last episode of RAW, Grant asked our listening audience: What Holds You Back From Doing Your Trip?: Dafydd Jones: "In response to your question at the end of the October podcast you asked what is stopping you (the listener) from going on a trip and my reasons are simply cost and a young family? But probably the big one is where to go that’s not mega money. I have thought Europe but not sure where to go, maybe Germany or Switzerland, any advice?" Anonymous: "... since discovering the Adventure Motorcycling community I have been dreaming on getting on a longer trip. Not a RTW trip but gradually building up my experience and knowledge like you have mentioned to many times on ARR and RAW is the best way to do it. A couple of years ago my excuse was time and money. Didn't know when to do it and was very much into my career. Then..." ... the listener is not able to travel due to a medical condition in the family and the likelihood is that travel will not be for some time in the future. Can we live our dreams through motorcycle books, movies and shorter adventures?

Lois Pryce is an author, journalist and travel writer. She speaks about her 3000-mile solo motorcycle ride around Iran, which is the subject of her book, Revolutionary Ride. In 2003 Lois left her job at the BBC in London to ride twenty-thousand miles from Alaska to the tip of South America on a small dirt bike. Her book about this trip, Lois on the Loose, has been published throughout the world. In 2006 she rode the length of Africa, taking in the Sahara, the Congo and Angola, which resulted in her book, Red Tape & White Knuckles. In 2013/14, intrigued by the negative image of Iran and its stormy relationship with her homeland, she made two solo motorcycle tours of the Islamic Republic, discovering the complicated reality of this misunderstood but ultimately fascinating and hospitable country. This is the subject of her new book, Revolutionary Ride. With her husband, adventure film-maker, Austin Vince, she is founder/curator of Adventure Travel Film Festival which occurs annually in the UK and Australia. Recorded live at 5x15 Bristol in March 2017. 5x15 brings together five outstanding individuals to tell of their lives, passions and inspirations.
