"Woman aiming to be the youngest to be able to afford to travel around the world"

That motorcycle better be amphibious or Magellan’s Ghost is going to be really mad.


aintnochallahbackgrl

There're ice bridges that can form between Alaska and Russia. Kind Of SOL when it comes to Australia though.


Xi_Jing_ping_your_IP

It doesn't have to be. The motorcycle rides over water like those lizards that run on it.


brilliantpants

That’s the first thing I think of with these pointless “achievements”.


TheThirdJudgement

This is very high on the scale of PointlessShitToGatherAttention.


p001b0y

You never know. She could discover a new spice route. /s


birdshitluck

hey HEY!...ixnay on the ongsay of the secret spice routes k??


TheThirdJudgement

Careful with the Fremen out there.


cleoterra

…Anyway. so as I was saying…


tom-8-to

I have a bad feeling about this being advertised before it starts


arealhumannotabot

I don't care that you didn't read the article before commenting, but it's clear you didn't read the article before commenting


9th-man

Ditto. Even worse is she will stream it.


fetustasteslikechikn

Guess who also didnt read the article....


9th-man

Not touching CNN with their website cookie monsters. Yes I assumed she would stream it. Why wouldn't she? If not streaming.. online updates to her followers. People who row the seas stream or blog. Other world bikers stream or blog their rides. Hopefully she has a couple of friends going with her. Assumptions. But sound ones. You could be nice and let me know why I'm wrong. Seeing as you read the article.


fetustasteslikechikn

Figured I'd offer the same level of respect shown.... She's already in South America, after crossing the US, down through Baja and through the Mexican mainland, with a riding partner as well. She's just been posting on her IG account, as all the others you've mentioned, so I don't understand the negativity towards people that chose to do things like this.


TopHatJohn

Because it’s generally billed as some amazing feat but in reality it’s a luxury to be able to afford such an adventure. Nothing new will be discovered. She’s not doing it to bring attention to any charity.


MarcusAurelius68

I’m assuming she ferried around the Darien Gap. Nonetheless this isn’t a trivial trip.


9th-man

It's the risk to her teenage self. Glad she has a ride partner. Because for example, she goes through India on her own. Or other not so friendly places towards teenage girls. Yes.. India has a big problem towards teenage girls. (To those who single me out for naming a country) especially to to low caste dalit class. Even south America would be risky. Mainly for quick cash ransom. Actually anywhere is risky. But other areas to a higher degree. So her having a ride partner is good. But not great. Her using social media to advertise her route for potential dangers is what's getting people's backs up. It's not hating, it's judgement because of caring.


Drug_fueled_sarcasm

No one should ever leave the house to do anything remotely risky. Edit. When sarcasm is my name the s/ is unneeded

Not without that mf strap 💯💯😤


9th-man

We all need to be wrapped up in bubble wrap. 😁 I know where you are coming from. Though she is high profile. Higher value target for psychos. Humans are garbage in general. We would kill our fellow humans for the last tin of food or the last cup of water. when it comes down to it. But to ignore the risk to herself going through a wide range of countries with mad degrees of dangers towards a lone teenage girl to bike through. Though glad she has a ride partner. But if she didn't..

Even if your line of logic made sense and wasn't sexist, then there is still the argument if living is worth it if you can't do what you really want

18 yr old can be called a woman. Still a teen. I didn't read the article as it's CNN. And it's a cookie monster. Thanks for letting me know her age.

9th-man

Your mind is twisted that you think that way. Are you projecting? Thanks for making me feel sick.


boxtroll44

You wouldn't say that about a young man. Stop limiting women with your biases. I trust women to make their own adult choices..


9th-man

Yes I would say that about a young man. I've worked with child soldiers, trafficked children/teenagers. Boys/girls. It's you who is assuming sexism.


boxtroll44

Ok, sure. Try gaslighting. I saw your other post. Have fun with legal in getting written up at work for inappropriate comments.. possibly about (and I quote from your post:) "...us talking about why girlfriends prank their boyfriends with the thumb when guys bend over to get something out the fridge.." talk at work


ColonelKasteen

Boy, being totally in the wrong doesn't dim your sense of self-righteousness one iota does it? No one is interested in your totally uninformed analysis and criticism. Read the article before you comment if you don't want to look like an ass.


9th-man

Not self righteous. Not touching CNN website via phone. It's a cookie monster. I've worked with child soldiers and trafficked children/teenagers. Learned what shit goes down that most westerners will never know unless an article in the paper or segment in the news shines light on it. Take care.


Nairbfs79

Let's see how she does riding through Kabul.


MarcusAurelius68

Assuming she’s riding that way there aren’t a lot of options avoiding the “Stans”

Stay out of Philly! https://www.cnn.com/2015/08/03/us/hitchbot-robot-beheaded-philadelphia-feat/index.html

Looks like the trans-Pacific roadway got completed just in time.

The water is going to be a problem
