German Shepherd Travels the World on Motorcycle 🏍

Jess Stone and her German Shepherd, Moxie, are on a motorcycle trip around the world. They have been on the road since March 2022 and plan to travel across 90 countries throughout Central America, North and South America, Africa, Europe, and Asia. Jess, her husband Greg, and Moxie ride together, with Moxie sitting in a specially designed motorcycle dog carrier.

Jess, who aims to raise $100,000 for the global empowerment projects of Girl Up, a girl-centered leadership development initiative, is documenting the journey on Instagram and a weekly YouTube series. While traveling with a dog has its disadvantages, including limited accommodation options and relying on wild camping, Stone finds the experience of seeing the world through Moxie's eyes to be worth it.
