Episode 21

Ayleen Martinez – Solo Motorcyclist

Ayleen talks about her free time on the road, and what it is like to be on her own for so long. She also talks about the 3 costs in life.

Meet Ayleen

A sniper, a dentist and a motorcycle rider walk into a bar. This is not the start to a joke, this is one amazing person named Ayleen Martinez. Ayleen rode into Phil’s life through a dual hemisphere resident whom we’ll call Mariska. When Phil heard that a Chilean woman decided she wanted to learn how to ride motorcycles so she could do a solo ride from Puerto Williams to Prudhoe Bay, he rolled up the doors at MotoQuest World Headquarters. Ayleen is intelligent, enthusiastic, funny and just a little stubborn. Basically the perfect mix if you want to follow the path just a little further off the path off the unbeaten path. Over 20,000 humans follow Señorita Martinez on the ‘gram. We spoke with Ayleen in 2019. She shares some highlights, some low points and a few things to consider as a solo traveler who happens to be a spritely female about a meter and a half tall. We hope you enjoy our conversation.
