Synopsis

Leonie Katekar left behind her past and confronted
her fears by immersing herself in a foreign world
and embarking on a 12,000 km solo bike-packing
expedition through South America.

Leonie undertook her journey during a difficult
time in what had been a difficult life. Her story is
about being brave, stepping out, and finding out how
to pursue a deeper happiness. On her journey she
overcomes almost overwhelming physical challenges
and internal anguish while experiencing a world of
beauty and inspiration.

Leonie rides more than 12,000 km through nine
countries. She conquers the Andes at an altitude
of more than 4,000 metres, explores and thrives
in and among unique towns and cities, lakes and
forests, deserts and ancient ruins, while pushing
through extreme physical demands on her body and
overcoming the weather and her own doubts.

When We’re Not Afraid is told with an insight that
enthrals and inspires on the way to confronting
fears that many of us have. Yet it is a story not just
for women who are seeking more, but for anyone
disillusioned with their life and wanting to be brave
enough to face the question — What would I do if I
was not afraid?

Returning to Australia at age 56, just days before
the pandemic, she is changed, and now faces a new
world from a unique perspective.
