From the moment she first revved a motorbike, Jess knew her life had changed. A true pioneer, Jess is renowned in her circles for being a trailblazin moto-travel maverick.

She's the founder and CEO of Open Roads and Open Roads Rally, a brand ambassador for Royal Enfield, a freelance graphic and web designer, documentary creator and influencer.

The dedication she commits to her purpose has led her to all corners of the planet. Whether she's riding through Europe with nothing but a tent, leading private motorcycle tours through the Himalayas, shooting documentaries in India or running multi-day motorcycle festivals in Australia, Jess is always striving to create the life she wants for herself and contributing to the community around her.

She is one of the most inspiring individuals I have ever met and this episode has so much epic chat in it. Prepare to be inspired. I hope you enjoy it.

Unmapped with Mike Kelly

Unmapped is an exploration of the human desire for travel. Why do we travel? What do we learn from it? How does it enrich our experience of the world? What impact do our travels have on the rest of our lives?

Mike speaks with pioneers, adventurists and trailblazers from around the planet, hearing their stories and unlocking the life secrets they’ve learned from their time on (and off) the beaten path.

This Podcast has been produced by Bondi Radio Media Group, and creative illustrations of the host and authors contributed by Moral Studios.

    “Unmapped is my next journey; a true passion project. It’s an opportunity to express my way of life and to give mavericks a platform to share the beauty of their lives. It’s easy to feel trapped in society but freedom is always available and for me, it was travel which showed me that.”
