Overland Journal Podcast host Ashley Giordano speaks with Candida Louis, an adventure tourer, motorcycle guide, and the first Indian woman to ride solo across all 25 states of India and from India to Australia. Louis shares how she transitioned from finance to professional riding, leading 57 tours. She discusses completing a 32,000-kilometer solo journey across India and how social media is shifting perceptions of female riders. She also details her eight-month expedition from India to Australia supporting the Change a World Foundation in honor of Alastair Farlin. Finally, Louis offers advice for traveling in India, addresses media misconceptions, updates listeners on her knee injury recovery, and previews upcoming tours in Mongolia, Japan, South India, and the Americas.
