Leonie Katekar left behind her past and confronted her fears by immersing herself in a foreign world and embarking on a 12,000km solo bike-packing expedition through South America.
When We're Not Afraid is told with an insight that enthrals and inspires how to confront fears that many of us have. It is a story for anyone disillusioned with their life and wanting to be brave enough to face the question - What would I do if I was not afraid?
My partner and I travelled South America in 2017. Leonie's descriptions of places, the scenery and the people brough back vivid memories. I'll be putting bikepacking on the list!
Very good book, never boring, she has been through a lot during her journey, you will find her description along the trip and also at the end she gave statistics about the trip, cost, best places etc... very handy if you are planning to travel this area. I recommended her book without hesitation.
