Discomfort Is the Tax We Pay for an Incredible Journey - Tom Gould and Lauren Board

Tom Gould and Lauren Board are each riding 125cc Honda motorcycles on a trip from the UK to Cape Town, South Africa without a definite deadline. Their trip is loosely planned, it is their first major expedition, and they have already faced numerous challenges. When our host, Jim Martin, spoke with them, they were nursing hundreds of insect bites and had just been burglarized for the second time. To make matters worse, the people they thought would help them only scolded them and sent them on their way without food, water, or money, which the thieves had taken as well. Despite these hardships, Tom insists he wouldn’t turn back. He says you’d have to drag him home kicking and screaming.
