Misti and Arla are excited to chat with Lucy Barnard, the first woman to hike the entire length of South America. Lucy is currently WALKING from Argentina to Alaska with her beloved doggo, Wombat. Lucy shares the challenges she has faced along the way, such as navigating unfamiliar terrain, border crossings, traveling internationally with a pet, personal safety issues, and dealing with extreme weather conditions.

Having traveled around the world by boat in 2005, perhaps it was only a matter of time before Azure O'Neil was drawn to the overland community. In 2011, she left a career in Washington, DC to learn how to make wine and explore the wide-open spaces of Australia and beyond. Since then, Azure has overlanded through 31 countries (both by two and four wheels), including a multi-year journey on her 1989 Honda Transalp which brought her from coast to coast and top to bottom of both North and South America. Azure’s “work breaks” while overlanding have seen her harvest winemaking, swabbing the decks of scuba dive boats, and reporting locally, and throughout her travels, for a TV news station in her part-time “hometown” of Sarasota, FL. When she’s not working to put together Overland Expo’s first-in-class educational programming, Azure can be found moto-camping, paddleboarding or planning her next big trip: a long motorcycle ride through Russia and Mongolia. You can follow her travels @MyTicketToRide, where she documents her adventures in motorcycle maintenance, creative two-wheeled dismounts and occasionally shares the coordinates of her “new favorite” wild campsite.
