Anita Yusof

Biography

Anita Yusof, a 55-year-old Malaysian from Batu Pahat, made history by becoming the first Muslim woman to ride solo around the world. She's also the first Malaysian in the Asia Book of Records for the longest solo bike ride around the globe. In just under three years, she covered 40 countries across 4 continents, traveling 65,369 kilometers on her FZ150i motorcycle. Starting in 2015, she embarked on her 'Global Dream Ride' with limited off-road experience and funding. Italy's Givi appointed her as a brand ambassador, and Levi's Global chose her for the "I Shape My World" campaign. Anita published books to share her journey, with proceeds supporting underprivileged children in visited countries. She continues her second solo world ride aiming for all seven continents after covering Africa, Asia, and Europe.
