Itchy Boots goes mini-bike!! [S4 - Eps. 1]
This is the first episode of this new season!
Unfortunately, traveling across the world is simply not possible yet with too many countries closing borders and enforcing lockdowns. That means I have to spent this winter in The Netherlands.
I am using this time to create a video series for you where I am going to show you every aspect of the Dutch Moto Scene!! And today the season kicks off with a day at the junior training at TT Assen. What a fantastic day and start of this new season!!

Dutch Flattrack: the race is ON! [S4 - Eps. 6]
In this episode I am trying flattrack for the first time: exciting!!

I can’t believe they MOTOCROSS at the POLICE ACADEMY!! [S4 - Eps. 9]
Part 2 of my training at the Dutch Police Academy. Besides riding on pavement and doing my best (and failing) at lots of low speed handling exercises, we also take to cross! Part of the police academy training is riding in the dirt, and well.. I think it's obvious I LOVED it!!

[S2 - Eps. 6] OFF-ROAD PLANS FAILED
It rained today, so I decided to stay on tarmac. I never really enjoy riding in the rain, so I just used today to cover the distance I had to, in order to reach a cool place for my next ride!

Itchy Boots tries Enduro - THIS IS HARD! [S4 - Eps. 10]
In this episode, I am trying the ultimate king of the off-road motorcycle sports: ENDURO! And well, was that a bit more difficult than I anticipated. The tall, aggressive enduro bike threw me off a few times, so I switched to an electric KTM Freeride. With that lower and easier bike, it was still technical and difficult but a lot more manageable!
For this episode I went to Belgium, and met up with Thierry Klutz, who has been riding enduro for 37 years and competed in all the major world championships. It was amazing to get taught by such a legend in this motorsports!! He also brought Tim Louis with him, a young talent who just switched from motocross to enduro and starts riding enduro championships this year. The two of them really pulled me through this! If you want to know more about Thierry - check out or (both in French!).
This is also the last episode of season 4 (FOR NOW!). The Netherlands has been in a lockdown for a few weeks now, and still is.. So the episodes I still had planned, had to be cancelled unfortunately until further notice. I am going to use this time off YouTube to further work on my new website, which is going to replace my current blog I hope it will be ready in February. Then I will also let you know what my travel plans will be, because I WILL resume my journey soon again. Life has to go on. LET'S GO!

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.

In April 2017 I left Australia for a solo trip around the world on a BMW F800GS. I named it “Are We There Yet” because I don't know my final destination or the duration of this journey.
Throughout my journey, I was raising money for a young disabled child in Poland named Franek. Franek was diagnosed with cerebral palsy (weakness of the entire right side of the body) and he will require constant rehabilitation for the rest of his life. All the money raised will go directly to helping Franek and his family so he can lead a normal life as best as possible, so please donate generously:

The one and only, the legendary Itchy Boots herself visits the ABR Festival 2023 breaking off from her current tour of West Africa especially for her fans here in the U.K. The video is raw footage, no editing, no tripod, a bit shaky in places but hopefully you’ll still enjoy the presentation she gave.

Latvian POLICE are looking for me!
…and no one guess why! And I didn’t even do it! The day started so lovely in a quarry with an underwater former prison which is now something like an amusement park run by ex prison guards, very cool! I’m on my way to Riga to meet my new friend from the Internet Aleks in his shop Rascal Motorcycles because he wants to have a look at the bike and guess what…I even get a set of new motorcycle tires (about time) for my Honda Dominator 650. On the way, I’m doing my thing…riding, filming, flying the drone and suddenly I was stopped by the police. I wasn’t speeding I don’t think. The reason is much more unbelievable…would you have guessed it?
