Got2Go - 90.000 Kilometers AROUND THE WORLD on a motorcycle SOLO
18 months, 50 countries, 90.000 kilometers - how I rode around the world on a motorcycle solo as a female traveler and what I learned along the way.
This video is for everyone who wants to see some parts of my journey around the world - but the highlights and the most memorable and intimate encounters – the lows and highs of my trip – you will only find in my book.
// It would mean the world to me if you support my journey by buying my book - and please leave a good review on Amazon, so it will be suggested to other people as well!

// Your family. Your friends. Your job. Your language. Your life, as you know it. Imagine you leave all of this behind, and just go on a ride around the world. 18 months, 50 countries, 90.000 kilometers of adventure.
In my travelogue I tell a story of falling and getting up again, of courage and serenity, faith in oneself and other people, empathy, hope and determination. About setting out - but not to learn to fear the world, but to find adventure, friendship and love.
The moment that changes everything can come at any time. For me it's a normal Monday morning in the office when I saw a colleague watering a plant with Evian mineral water. I quit my job, left my comfort zone and set off on a trip around the world.
Just my motorcycle Cleo and me, all alone.
But what do you do when there's a military coup right in front of your window? If your lover turns out to be a Russian sniper? Or if you burn your eyes in the highest altitude desert of the world? You learn your lesson and move on.
The journey takes me past 8,000-meter-high mountains in Pakistan, through temples in India, to the safe shores of Australia, into the driest desert in the world in Chile and Bolivia - and in the end back to Germany. Breathlessly, I let my intuition and instincts guide me, experienced the highs and lows of traveling alone. I begans to see the world from a different angle, and discovered life in all its different facets and forms.
'Dwell in the land and you shall be fed.' - that is out of the question for Lea Rieck. The more adventurous, the better. The worst journeys, she says, are the best. Hans Magnus Enzensberger

MOROCCO TRAVEL DOCUMENTARY | The Grand Moroccan Roadtrip
► ITINERARY + GPS TRACKS -
► SUPPORT - 'Buy us a refill of diesel' -
Follow us on our Grand Moroccan Roadtrip!
From sweeping sand dunes to desolate highways of emptiness, bustling cities, and snow-covered peaks, we explored Morocco from north to south and east to west. Driving more than 10,000 km in eight weeks, our roadtrip included many unforgettable adventures. Watch as we explore remote landscapes, climb high peaks, battle breath-taking dust-topias (double pun, yeah!), and navigate the hectic bustle of Morocco’s major cities.
Thank you:
A big THANK YOU goes to Saloua Dabhi who helped tremendously with pronouncing Moroccan names. Additionally, we’d like to thank Christina Neumann ( for her insights into correctly identifying many bird species. And, of course, a big thank you to La Sultana ( for welcoming us to both of their wonderful properties.

Real Talk:
Despite our attempt at keeping our Morocco Travel Documentary as authentic as possible, you are still watching a highlight reel. When editing, we naturally tend to choose the most exciting videos. What you don’t see are the hours spent driving through less spectacular landscapes or some of the unpleasant challenges we faced.
Did we like everything about Morocco?
Far from it. As mentioned in the video, the huge amount of trash definitely dampened our experience. Additionally, we were surprised by the sheer number of begging children. During our trip, we counted a minimum of 500 children asking us for money or sweets. While Morocco undoubtedly has to combat poverty, this behavior often seemed less dictated by need and more by opportunity. Stopping and giving is an individual choice, of course, but when we didn’t we were regularly flipped off, kicked after, or hurled insults at.
In general, though, we perceived most Moroccans as extremely friendly and helpful. The best example is the three local men who selflessly helped us to change our ruptured tire. We cannot thank them enough.
Full Disclosure:
This trip was entirely self-funded. However, we did enjoy a two-night complimentary stay at La Sultana Oualidia and a two-night complimentary stay at La Sultana Marrakech.

Expedition Newfoundland | FULL MOVIE | Travel Documentary
Join us on our overland journey to Canada's Newfoundland Island. We spend 3 weeks July 2023 camping and traveling to some of the most beautiful places around the country. We spent 6 months mapping and planning for this trip. Packing in as much adventure as we can.
Trip Powered by REDARC, XVenture Trailers, Powertube TV & Rugged Bound Supply
PLEASE SUBSCRIBE
Our journey starts with a 1860 mile trek just to get to Newfoundland Canada. But first a border crossing into New Brunswick via the Deer island ferry. Our first night in Canada lands us at the Bay of Fundy. Next into Nova Scotia and our first epic Lobster Roll. Arriving in Sydney NS port to get on a 8 hr Atlantic Ferry going to Newfoundland.
Once in Newfoundland our real overland expedition can begin. We make our way up the west coast exploring the Long Island peninsula and small lobster villages. Next the Viking Trail, Great Northern Peninsula along beautiful shores, collapsed sea caves and barren landscapes. We camp at the furthest north Point Normans Cape. Next Lance Aux Meadows a viking village. Then to St. Anthony. Ending the day in Englee. A coastal fishing town that we camp above on a mountain lake.
Then we head off of the northern peninsula down to the abandoned town Round Harbor with our first humpback whale visitor. Landing on the cliffs overlooking the North Atlantic in the town of LaScie. We spend the afternoon watching humpback whales play in the bay. Followed by a visit to iconic Twillingate where a sickness may cut our trip short.
Next Newfoundlands largest offshore island, Fogo Island. After the ferry our first stop is the small town of Fogo. We visit an odd location The Fogo Island Inn. A remote 5 star hotel. We return to Fogo to camp at the Brimstone Head Park. Leaving Fogo we visit Cape Freels Beach. Then we head down to the beautiful island chain town of Newtown. We end our day on the island of Greensport with an afternoon of crazy weather. Our next day takes us through Terra Nova National Park where we find Mountain View’s, an extremely useful visitor center, showers and an aquatic touch tank. Our path then leads around the north rim of the Bonaviata peninsula. We check out the Cape Bonivista Lighthouse and Puffin Colony. Before heading to the Community Pasture full of wild roaming horses and the perfect camp spot. Ending the day with two whales slapping the water with fins and tails for hours just off shore.
Exploring Elliston we find more Puffin and whale! Next we head to Trinity to one of the oldest blacksmith forges around! A few hr drive takes us to Dildo and a bay side camp spot. The next destination is the islands largest city, Saint Johns. Where we see Signal Hill, Cabot Tower and Jelly Bean Row. Then we become true Newfoundlanders by getting Screeched In at Trapper Johns. We end the day camped on a 600 foot high cliff north of St. John’s.
The next day takes us as far East as you can go on the continent to Cape Spear. Then we wind our way down the coast through Ferryland and around to the South Avalon-Burin Oceanic Barrens. Where we end up at Cape Race Lighthouse. We do some trail riding before settling in a small cove full of seals. Our last day on the island takes us to Cape Pine (the furthest south you can drive) and then up to Castle Hill Fort before we Jump on our ferry in Argentia (MV Atlantic Vision) to head back home through Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

Losing/Finding My Mind In Namibia on a Solo Adventure!
This trip has been needed for quite a while! The Solo But Not Alone Series goes into it’s third part of the adventure, I head to Namibia on my own for a no plan trip, making it up as I go along! I managed to cross southern Namibia, heading past the Quiver Tree forest and Mesosaurus fossil camp near Keetmanshoop, then to the Duwiseb Castle, before making my way through to explore Sossus. There were some epic things that I thought would be fun to do in the area, like visit Valley of a Thousand Hills, and even hop on a Hot Air Balloon and take that over the Namib Desert! This trip was about a bit of soul searching, and how a solo trip can really help mental health! It’s important to take some time and do your own adventure every now and then!

Off-grid, alternative lives. The decisions that changed our life. @GrizzlyNbear Overland
We live completely off-grid and travel the world full time.
4 years ago we began this journey of full time overlanding around the world in a Four Wheel Camper and Land Rover Defender.
Although that was a beginning it wasn't the beginning...
In this video we answer a frequent question we receive. How did we end up in this lifestyle? What pushed us to choose an off-grid alternative life over a conventional one?
We hope this video answers a few questions about our lives leading up to where we find ourselves right now.
If you enjoy our videos and if you would like to support our work, we have a PATREON account.
Become a PATRON and be part of the adventure.
Thank you very much.

Who are Kara and Nate?!
Watch our documentary here:
Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married 2013 and were super “normal.” I was a teacher and Nate started a small printing business from the spare bedroom of our apartment.
We discovered the world of “travel hacking” while planning our honeymoon & became addicted ;)
So after 2 years of obsessively saving $35k and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016 for a “one year” trip around the world.
Our goal was to see as many places as possible before we ran out of money and went back home to “normal life.” We started this travel vlog to share our experiences with friends and family, but quickly fell in love with living on the road and found a new passion for capturing our travels through video. So we did everything we could to keep going.
4 years later, we achieved our new goal of visiting 100 countries and all 7 continents. We had no plans to slow down, until 2020 forced us to ;) Which is when we bought a converted van to start exploring our own country for the first time.
After ~2 years of van life, we are back to full time traveling! And now we are finding the best adventures the world has to offer :)
We are incredibly grateful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. ???????????? Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our journey!

Expedition Nova Scotia - FULL MOVIE
June of 2018
Join us on our overland adventure to Nova Scotia. In this trip we traveled thousands of miles through North Eastern US - New Brunswick Canada - Prince Edward Island - Nova Scotia - Maine - Acadia National Park - Bay of Fundy - Tons of ferry crossings. And our pursuit to find the BEST lobster roll along our path! Cape Breton Island was especially beautiful! We couldn’t see it all but we sure hit some destination highlights! This trip had some of the most beautiful camping spots and geography for overlanding, and we had an incredible time! This video is the full length version of the Nova Scotia series published over the summer of 2019. The overland trailer XVenture XV-3 was the perfect companion for this type of travel. We could keep all of our camping gear in the trailer while keeping the Jeep JK clear for personal items. Having a light basecamp makes all the difference. Overlanding with a dog turned out to be easier than we thought as well.
Over 4500 miles traveled and worth every min in the seat.
Make sure you subscribe to see next summer's trips!

Various 4x4 Overland Tour Adventures
A short Video of a few recent overland tours in the UK and Europe.
Don't be scared be prepared!!! Are borders really that bad??? Overland border crossings...
International land border crossings can make even the most seasoned overlander nervous.
There is a very good reason for this, they can be long, frustrating, unpredictable and sometimes even a little bit scary.
In this video we talk you through how we plan and tackle international land border crossings.
We've done close to 50 over the years and reckon we've got a good system and hope to share some useful information.
Join us as we travel the world overland, exploring the cultures and traditions of all the countries we visit.
In our Land Rover Defender camper which is our full time home we will take you rock climbing, hiking and exploring across all the continents on this planet.
It's Over. We're Home ????????
6 weeks ago we would never have thought that a month later, everything would have changed. What a month it's been. Big love ????

↠ A BIT ABOUT US
We're Chesca and Ben, and with our two pups River & Scout (???? ???? ) we live and travel full-time in our self converted sprinter van, Sophia. We spent the first 3 years road tripping and doing as much van life in Europe as we could, from the wild coasts of Portugal to the Syrian border in Turkey, tackling lockdowns and another DIY van re-build along the way. But, as restrictions get imposed on British travellers in Europe, we felt like a new challenge. In the summer of 2022, we shipped our tiny home on wheels to Canada to begin the Pan American Highway - taking us from Alaska to the bottom of Argentina. This is our journey, come and join us.

ABOUT ME
Hi I'm Loui! I am an adventurer at heart who loves to share every step of the way. My travels so far ,via camper van, jeep camper, and foot, have taken me all over North America. I started this channel in 2019 in hopes of inspiring other people like me who didn't exactly grow up living an adventurous lifestyle and who might be afraid to get started on their own adventures. Since then, it has turned into my full time job and something that I very passionate about. So, stick around to see the journey unfold!

OVERLANDING BRAZIL PART 4, North East Remote Amazon Region to French Guiana
BRAZIL,
By far the largest and most populous country in South America, Brazil was one of the world’s strongest emerging markets and a contributor to global growth. The awarding of the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympic Games, the first ever to be held in South America, was symbolic of the country’s rise. However, from about 2013 to 2016, Brazil was plagued by a sagging economy and high unemployment. The larger cities like Rio and San Paulo and the large regional cities have issues with armed gangs who control slum areas, and drug trafficking. Police stations have been targeted by armed gangs.
