If all this talk about riding solo gets you excited to become one, you may want to consider getting her book. She has detailed the preparation process in her book to make it easier for anyone who would like to know more about getting started on the journey! 

But she has laid out the rules of thumb you should pay attention to before taking the plunge. 

To our fellow fusspots, we’re sorry but Anita said you’d have to leave that trait behind if you want to go down the solo-riding route. You simply have to make do with whatever is thrown your way. 


“You must have the nerve. If you don't have the nerve, you can’t ride solo. You can’t travel solo,” she advised. 

You must also have the determination to accomplish what you set out to do. You must have an exceptional level of fighting spirit.

“Being a solo rider, you have to motivate yourself. You must have that because there is no one to cheer you up when you are feeling down. You really have to be strong in everything.”
