I bought a South African motorcycle! ????????[S5 - Eps. 2]

I've moved to South-Africa and my first mission (of course) is to find myself a motorcycle. Without a motorcycle, I feel like a bird with clipped wings... taking an Uber around the city is just not my thing! I booked a guesthouse in Bryanston, a very posh neighbourhood of Johannesburg, because it's at walking distance from a motorcycle shop called Fire it Up. They sell second hand motorcycles, and that's exactly what I need. It didn't take long before I found myself a new partner in crime to start Season 5 with!!

Ready to hit African dirt roads ???????? [S5 - Eps. 3]

In this episode I tried to register my new Honda CRF250L that I bought in South Africa on my name. This is not easy as a foreigner and unfortunately it didn't work. But, the guys at Fire it Up motorcycles helped me out and got me a cross country permit so that I can take the bike to the neighbouring countries of South Africa if I want to, and if the borders are open. They also sorted me out with the accessories that I needed, so this bike got ready in no-time! It's time for Africa!!

I CAN'T continue... ???????? [S5 - Eps. 5]

In this episode, I encounter an unexpected road block. My plan was to ride through the Lekgalameetse Nature Reserve. It should have been a great stretch of off-roading, but most likely, it were the heavy rains in the area in the weeks before, that had destroyed the road. I had no other option than to turn back, and backtrack --- a LONG way!

2 BILLION ounces of GOLD were mined here ???????? [S5 - Eps. 9]

In this episode I am diving into the world of gold mining in South Africa. I visit the area around the town Pilgrims Rest, which was declared a goldfield in 1873. Having worked in gold exploration myself, 10 years ago, I'm fascinated by the sheer volume of gold that they've managed to extract here over the years: a whopping 2 billion ounces of gold. And they are still mining here today - let's see if I can get close to the activities..

I woke up to this.. ????????[S5 - Eps. 6]

I woke up this morning in Tzaneen, South Africa, to find the river below to have swelled enormously during the night. There had been an insane thunderstorm, waking me up at 4 in the morning, that came with torrential downpour. The lodge's river raft was gone and the the Tzaneen Dam was overflowing. I was planning to take a rest day and work on editing videos but it turned out to be an unexpected day of investigating the overflowing dam and locating the missing raft...

I went to see a Xhosa herbalist ???????? [S5 - Eps. 17]

In this episode, I am staying in Bulungula, on the South African wild coast. I am meeting a local Xhosa herbalist and he shows me how they use the different plants that grow there to make medicine. This is what traveling is all about in my opinion. Keep an open mind, and respect other peoples culture and believes - once you do, you will have amazing new experiences.

Attempt to ride Sani Pass on a Honda CRF250L - it's HECTIC!! [S5 - Eps. 14]

In this episode I am attempting to scale the hardest mountain pass of South Africa: Sani Pass. Right at the border between South Africa and Lesotho lies this pass, and it is not for the faint hearted. These were the steepest, most washed away tracks I've ever attempted and without the option to slow down or pause, it was an adrenaline filled race to the top. HECTIC!
