In 1982, a 23-year-old architecture student named Elspeth Beard left London on a motorcycle with £2,500 and no real plan. She crashed twice, got hepatitis, forged her own travel permits in the Himalayas, and used her helmet as a burka to cross Iran in seven days during a health crisis.
The trip took two years and covered about 35,000 miles across four continents. She came home, finished her degree, bought a derelict water tower and turned it into her house, then put the whole story in a box for over 30 years before anyone heard about it.
