The Trail to Tibet

Having crossed every continent, some of them twice, Tiffany was approached by GlobeBusters, the motorcycle adventure tour company, and asked to lead one of their expeditions – from London to Beijing via Tibet and Everest Base Camp.

Crossing Iran on the Trail to Tibet

This was a fascinating journey taking in Europe, a return to Iran, Central Asia and China itself before reaching the extreme altitude of the Tibetan plateau where Tiffany broke the altitude record for a female motorcyclist (5226m) on the way to Everest.

It was a life-changing experience to be working with a group and sharing her passion for travel with others. Tibet was a tough yet hugely rewarding country to ride across, while China proved to have the worst drivers with accidents happening all around her and the group. Their arrival in Beijing was celebrated by BMW with a major reception and party in their honour.
