Traveling by Vespa from Singapore to Europe
Season 4, Episode 73, Nov 03, 2021, 08:07 AM
Women are often told that they shouldn’t travel alone. We’re warned that it’s dangerous, and we need to be careful. But this doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t travel. And in fact, by traveling, women can challenge the status quo.
We chat Juvena Huang, who has been wandering the world by scooter and rode from Singapore to Europe covering 44,000km, and 25 countries in 27 months.
