Started learning how to ride a motorcycle merely 4 and half years ago, one can be mistaken that Anita Yusof is a veteran in adventure riding. The Johorian can be easily mistaken as normal Malaysian lady in their 40s. What more with her real occupation as a lecturer in an institution in Ipoh.

Fresh from her longest trip called ‘Global Dream Ride 2016’(GDR), Anita Yusof is now back in Malaysia. The GDR trip was the most challenging for Anita who has made shorter distance adventures. Amongst others are Central Asia ‘Stans’ Solo Tour, Trans Borneo Solo Ride, Yunnan China Adv Ride, 5 Nations Ride & Nepal Solo Ride.
“Travelling taught me lots about humans and lives, happiness and misery, love, hate, adapting, understanding, tolerance, you name it. I love traveling because travelling changed me”, said Anita. “Every time I came back, I came back a different and much better person”, she continues.
On her appointment as GIVI Ambassador, Anita said “GIVI products has helped me greatly in all of my journeys. I relied so much on the toughness of the top and sidecases to protect my equipment and it did remarkable job. I am truly honoured to be chosen as an ambassador as I believe that bikers need quality and confidence in their rides and GIVI provides more than that”.
