Stories from cycling through 40+ countries — and how it led to building a cycle touring company in India.

Jess first got hooked on cycle touring in her early 20s, riding from Greece to Spain on a bike she named ‘Pos’, for possible. What began as a simple idea fuelled the fire for a lifetime exploring the world by bicycle ever since.

From quiet backroads in Southeast Asia to high-altitude landscapes along the Pamir Highway (considered the Everest of cycle touring), her journeys reveal what unfolds when you step into the unfamiliar.

Over time, her travels evolved from solo adventure into something more. Jess now brings her community along for the ride, and even started a small business taking groups cycle touring through South India. This talk is about creating shared journeys where confidence grows, friendships deepen, and a network of capable, like-minded women continues to expand.
