Carla King

Carla King is a San Francisco-based writer who specializes in motorcycle adventure travel. Her book American Borders is the story of a 10,000 kilometer, solo-circumnavigation of the United States on a Russian Ural sidecar motorcycle.

The book is based on a series of dispatches authored in 1995, which is the oldest online travelogue on the Internet. Continuing the realtime adventure series, she sent missives to the Internet during her 1998 journey from Beijing to the Tibetan border in The China Road Dispatches, from India in 2000, Italy in 2001, and the Around the Adriatic by on a Moto Guzzi. You can find an index of these stories on the Motorcycle Misadventures site.

You can listen to her Internet radio show, The Miss Adventuring Podcast, where she interviews people living creative, misadventurous lifestyles.

Carla is also a member of the Wild Writing Women, a San Francisco Bay Area writing and publishing group.
