Louisa is an adventure motorcycle tour guide, member of the 200 mph club and land speed record holder (sand racing) who in 2019 had an opportunity to ride on the salt flats at Bonneville on a Hayabusa she bought while attending Speed Week as a pilot - on a completely different bike! All these things Louisa achieved after returning to motorcycling just three years previous and only after overcoming her fears – of change, the unknown and yes, even speed!

After her corporate career ended, Louisa began to question what a good and happy life looked like. Where was true contentment to be found? She researched, read, talked and meditated until she concluded happiness is not obtained passively but needs to be cultivated. For Louisa, that meant combining her passion for adventure and love of riding with causes she believed in.

Louisa enjoys sharing her philosophy of life through writings and talking under the persona 'The Existential Biker' and wants to show that most anything is possible, that we all have the potential to achieve great things and how good it feels to find your personal tribe, at any stage of your life. Louisa lives in Scotland and loves to go trekking over the highlands with her dog, Mr Spock.
