Adventure Rider Radio Motorcycle Podcast

Noraly Schoenmaker was living a comfortable life in the Netherlands, building a career as a geologist, when her world was suddenly turned upside down. For some, heartbreak might mean retreating inward, but Noraly chose something radically different. She walked away from the life she knew, packed up what she could, and set off to explore the world on a motorcycle. It wasn’t a wild whim — her work had already taken her to far-flung places like Panama and Indonesia, exploring gold mines and studying sand. But this time, it was her journey. Over 20,000 miles later, through countries like Iraq, Iran, and India, she found freedom, connection, and perspective — one road, one meal, one encounter at a time.

Noraly Schoenmaker is the creator of the hugely popular Itchy Boots YouTube channel. What began as a solo motorcycle trip has evolved into a global journey, with Noraly riding through remote regions, wild landscapes, and across entire continents — from South America to North America, and from Europe to Africa. Her background in biology and geology adds a thoughtful layer to her travels, and when she’s not riding, she calls the Netherlands home. Noraly is also the author of FREE RIDE.

Itchy Boots - Noraly Schoenmaker

Ante Dodig planned a motorcycle trip that would take him across Canada, up to Alaska, and all the way down to the southernmost tip of South America. This was his first foray into long-distance motorcycling, and while the trip didn’t unfold as he had envisioned, he said he would do it all over again, even knowing the outcome.

BUCKET LIST: Motorcycle Travel in South Korea

As the year begins, many riders set New Year’s resolutions, often centred around sacrifice—cutting out indulgences, hitting the gym, or saving money by skipping small pleasures. All these resolutions centre around some sense of pain, which is why we often give up on our resolutions quickly. But what if your resolution fuelled your passion for two wheels instead? This year, aim for a win-win goal: plan one motorcycle adventure that stretches your comfort zone while enriching your life with unforgettable experiences. Research shows that setting specific, achievable goals significantly boosts success. So, why not resolve to finally go on that trip and let the journey be your reward?
 
On this encore performance of Adventure Rider Radio, we go back to 2021, when Keith Futcher was on the show. He shared a goal he set for himself: to ride to the Sahara to see a sunset he had seen in a glossy magazine photo.

DEEP TROUBLE: Rider Down on the White Rim Trail

In his mid-40s, Philipp Amann decided it was finally time for an off-road adventure, despite the challenges of age, fitness, and relying on a 28-year-old BMW R1100GS. His first ride on the TET was a wild and humbling plunge into the deep end, but through grit, determination, and a passion for exploration, he transformed early blunders into triumphs. Along the way, he discovered the thrill of mastering off-road challenges, the significance of preparation, and the unique excitement of riding through Europe's diverse landscapes.

At 38, Stefanie Eickhorn bought her first motorcycle—never anticipating it would take her across continents or away from the structured German life in which she was raised.
