Looking for inspiration? Want to feel uplifted? Need encouragement? Burnt out and needing change, non-athlete Naomi cycled 20,000 miles through 26 countries, with a man she'd met just three times. Riding over Thorong-la mountain pass, Cairo to Cape Town, through tiger reserves and staying in Japanese love hotels this was the journey of a lifetime. What would happen on her return? Come and hear more about this life changing story of challenge, determination, travel, cycling and relationships. An ordinary human – an extraordinary adventure. One life. One opportunity? What will you do with yours?

About the show

Naomi Johnson is a self-described non-athlete who cycled tens of thousands of miles through dozens of countries alongside a man she had barely met. Her route took her over treacherous mountain passes, from Cairo to Cape Town, through tiger reserves and into Japanese love hotels. This spoken word show recounts that epic journey — the physical challenge, the unexpected relationships, and the question of what to do when you finally come home.

Why see this show?

An honest, funny and deeply human story about ordinary courage. Naomi's adventure will leave you questioning your own choices and feeling genuinely inspired to live a bigger life. Free to attend, endlessly thought-provoking.
