Their shared love of travel was one of the main topics of conversation during their first date back in 2004.
But other than a “couple of cruises,” Janell and Stu Clarke, both from Australia, had barely traveled beyond their home country nearly a decade later.
Once Janell got her motorbike license in 2009, after some gentle persuasion from longtime rider Stu, they began taking motorcycle trips throughout Australia with their dog Skyla, and were keen to broaden their horizons.
“I’d kind of attempted to go backpacking when I was 18, but I was far too young,” says Stu, who previously worked as an engineer in the Royal Australian Navy. “It was always something that I really wanted to do. I was waiting until my obligation with the navy had ended.”
