Preparation As Personal Choice: Motorcycling from Tibet to France - Toby Storie-Pugh

Some adventurers prepare exhaustively for their expeditions. And others take more of an "off-the-cuff" approach to their adventures. Toby Storie-Pugh explains that "where you sit on the preparation continuum is a matter of personal choice." And for a motorcycle trip from Tibet to Paris, Storie-Pugh's decision was to learn how to ride the bike in the weeks leading up to the 8,000 mile road trip and stay as sharp as possible during the ride. Storie-Pugh rode through Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran on his route, but said that the vast majority of people in those countries were very welcoming. His 2015 plans include summiting Everest and walking the length of the Congo River.
