Watch her video where she rides with the Dutch cops at their state of the art training facility. And they will show how the Dutch Police BMW cop bikes are set up and equipped.

I've whittled away a lot of time watching her adventures.

Currently she’s been in Ecuador (Season 6) headed back to Alaska after Covid in season two where she bounced out of Peru due to lockdowns in 2020.
South Africa to Namibia over to Botswana then Zimbabwe, back to South Africa was pretty cool. Solo adventure riding in places few would try. Season five.

I just started following her adventures. It got a bit scary for her in Peru at the beginning of the pandemic when the residents of the small town she was staying appeared to be turning against her afraid that she may be Covid positive. I was glad to see her get out to Ecuador for the evacuation flight. She's much more adventurous than I.

Indeed; who could foresee that risk.
Picture in the local paper, police visiting daily and hospital staff as well, while you’re tested negative but the state governor still shows up … you gotta bug out.

Indeed. She is quite the trooper with her travels and video editing skills.
She's in Wyoming now and I wonder if she's coming to the Black Hills and Badlands of South Dakota. We'll see....

I've been following her travels for some time. The footage she shoots is amazing. She is a pretty brave young lady.

I’ve been watching her travels off and on. Is she was traveling on the east coast I think it would be fun to ride along with her for a day.

Been watching her adventure for a while now. Certainly a brave and adventurous young lady. Very impressed with her motorcycle and riding skills.

It seems like her postings are about a month behind her actual journey… Now posting out of Wyoming, USA.
A little surprise she didn’t understand the weather in the mountains of Colorado. But I lived there a long time and know that in the summer, you need to be off the mountain by noon, especially above tree line. (Actually it’s closer to 11 AM, as the storms roll in with lightning becomes a real danger along with ice and snow.)

I ran across this video of Kinga Tanajewska back in 2016 when I got back into riding. Her videos are what led me to Itchy Boots sometime later. Kinga usually rides a BMW F800GS.

My 11 y.o. daughter and I watch ItchyBoots. I told her, “Don’t get any ideas about traveling solo across Mexico.”
One thing I like about her videos is how she explains the geology of the terrain while she’s traveling. She was a geologist in a previous career as I understand it, and it shows.
