Remember last year when Maja and Lara were about to set off on their TET adventure? Well they are back with stories to tell! Join them on our Inspirational Speakers Stage on Saturday 22nd August to hear all about their epic adventure.
"Maja and Lara are two energetic adventurers turned storytellers. Their friendship began over a shared passion for motorcycling, as they both owned a Ducati Supersport and were connected through social media. Maja is a motorcycle tour guide across all terrains and continents. Lara is a Chartered Engineer and journalist for the Bike World TV Show.
Together, they’re inspiring others by showing how big adventures don’t need to wait until “one day” and how you can tackle challenges on your own terms, balancing grit and glamour on two wheels.
Maja and Lara agreed to complete an off-road motorbike adventure across Europe and ultimately traversed eight countries over 53 days, covering 4,000 miles from French farmland to the breathtaking Balkans. Rather than putting life on hold and waiting for a “someday” trip, they chose to plan and save, and hit the road. Over 8 weeks, they learned new off-road skills, embraced unexpected challenges, discovered the joy of living simply, and proved that adventure is accessible.
Maja wasn’t a camper and Lara had to learn how to be patient. With a mere 30kg of luggage each, they combined resourcefulness with passion.
They believe that adventure doesn’t have to mean quitting your job, selling everything, and disappearing for years on a round-the-world trip. With a little planning, some savings, and the right mindset, you can make memorable journeys now. As they call them, memories for the rocking chair.
In their talk, they unpack:
- How to transform a spark of an idea into a real plan.
- The budgeting, gear, and mindset that make it happen.
- The fun, the mishaps, and the unexpected lessons of simply saying “yes” and going. Their story shines a light on the fact that you don’t have to travel the world for years to find your adventure."
