Impact Story
Originally from France, it was in 2015, when I moved to Malaysia, that I discovered the power of sisterhood and these special connections we develop on the road together. We have more in common than we think.
It was then during my off-road trips on a Royal Enfield in Ladakh, India, and then in Upper Mustang, Nepal, that I felt deeply touched by the women I met on the road. I was impressed by their skills and their mental resilience. We have so much to learn from women who are facing daily adversities, and yet they are too often ignored. I also became conscious of the importance of mobility for women’s emancipation. I’ll always remember my friend carrying a little boy on the back of his motorcycle to the next village on the demand of his mother who was stuck for 3 days without transportation and could not ride him to the doctor.
It was also then that I imagined…extending our sisterhood bonds beyond borders. Taking fellow adventurous women riders to experience those meaningful encounters, leveraging on our native sisters’ expertise as tour guides, and contributing to the economic independence of fellow women through economic opportunities on 2 wheels.
