#12 Attitude and Minimalism with Jacqui Furneaux

The summer break is over and we’re back!

We’ve been travelling, working on the cars, writing and recording … which means we’ve got a ton of new stories lined up for you over the next few months. I must say, it feels really good to have all the ducks in a row.

But now, let’s jump into the latest episode of the @overlandeurope podcast.

Today’s guest sums up her philosophy in one line: “I’ve found that all I need in life is the right attitude and what can be comfortably carried on a Royal Enfield.”

After raising a family and working as a nurse and health visitor, Jacqui Furneaux packed a bag in 1998 and set off solo for the first time in her life. What began as a one-year journey became something much bigger.

Southeast Asia, Pakistan and India lit the spark and with the dawn of the new millennium, she swapped her backpack for road maps and, for her 50th birthday, bought a Royal Enfield Bullet in India.

With no plan, no grand design—just the right attitude—Jacqui rode off.

Twenty countries and countless stories later, she’s still proving that the best adventures often begin when you don’t overthink them.
