HOW TO PREPARE FOR A ROUND THE WORLD TRIP ON A MOTORCYCLE - Part 1 - Part 1

This is PART 1 of 'How To Prepare For The Round A World Trip'. In this video I'm sharing some tips and answering the most common questions I've been asked about finances, documentation, health, accommodation and food.
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. This is PART 1 of 'How To Prepare For The Round A World Trip'.

I'm sitting at home and watching other people living the life that I crave right now.

[@jordanson66]

Every time I see a video like this I think the same thing

[@windingpath]

you are not alone.

[@ahde3133]

I feel likewise!

[@thesaurusrex7919]

You and me both ..one day though right?

[@viralthings4379]

We're in the same situation but we have to take a serious decision!

[@keyboarddancers7751]

I don't know whether I'll be able to do a round the world bike trip (I'm in my late 50s and my knees often hurt) but channels like yours are deeply inspirational. I'm putting money aside for a short European trip first then we'll see...

[@jaydeepbezbaruah7360]

Did you do it? Hope you did.

[@aleksanderorowski3755]

Mam 60 lat, dziś moja pierwsza lekcja do prawa jazdy na motocykl. Zacząłem za późno, aby spełnić swoje marzenia z dzieciństwa. Ale może Bóg daje mi szansę ... Dzięki, Kinga za inspirujące filmy o motocyklach! Pozdrawiam ze Szczecina, PL

[@sylwuszkazywuszka]

Powodzenia!

[@CosmicSeeker69]

I'm starting at 68 - Lands End to John o'Groats the full length of England. After that - - who knows 🤷‍♂️

[@frankmorris2603]

I spotted the Aussie influence in your voice and attitude. You're an exceptional individual and supreme ambassador. The world needs more of you Kinga. ❤

[@Movieman1965]

I like her shirt slogan... "If you never go, you'll never know"...

[@markmark2080]

So glad you are "safe", I really enjoy your videos and your spirit, take care and best wishes from an old motorcyclist from Colorado

[@franks4103]

Hi Kinga, this is the best ‘how to’ prepare for world travel I’ve seen! Most others focus on secondary aspects such as how to pack and so forth. This was great, thank you, looking forward to your follow ups! Ciao

[@yourfather32]

Also having two passports works on your advantage when getting visas. I have usa and mexican passports and teavel a lot too. When i need a visa the fees for visas are different on each passport. Usually usa passport is the most expensive, as a retaliation to the fee usa charges to proses a visa, most of the times i use the mexican passport to process the visa and i use them randomly to cross borders. Sometimes with mexican I don’t need visa and sometimes the american one waves me a visa. Great trip, congrats!

[@royramdeen8864]

Think I am going to love this pretty lady, her bike and her travels..

[@owaismemon3712]

What is name of this byker lady and belongs

[@kaleyk2917]

Finally!! This is exactly what I was looking for every talking about the adventures but not the logistical side of everything. Thank you!

[@maximmashkin341]

Now or Never! Thank you Kinga! We love you!

[@anwaralblooshi7959]

Being natural plus natural beauty the nature will protect you wherever you are, take care, Ride safe.

[@charlesjohn4518]

That's an amazing compliment!!. She really is a natural beauty.

[@grantmorris3313]

Some great advice there Kinga. Thanks very much. You’ve given me some good ideas!

[@cohall46]

This was very, very informative, interesting, and worthwhile. You answered almost all of the questions that I had about how motorcyclists travel the world. Thank you for taking the time to share this information and thank you for sharing a little bit about your personal life.

[@ler3968]

Super overview thanks! It looks like fun all the time in your vids, we don't see that you have to do soooo much work behind the scenes.

[@sgtpepper1138]

7:20 I remember Carnet being a problem for Ewan McGregor and the gang (Charley didn't get his stamped at the previous stop iirc) on the Long Way Round.

[@CrakShaft]

Something about your story seems quite familiar and relatable. I've embarked on a motorized adventure once I was fed up with putting myself last, things falling apart in my life, and settling for less than I dreamed of. So I told myself the exact thing: "It's now or never. NOW is the time" I've not yet got to the point of organizing that long trip around the world I've been dreaming of, but went on plenty of solo adventures and each one has been filled with amazement, challenges, inner happiness and meeting good people who might as well be guardian angels. You're doing what many of us only dare dream about and we have plenty to learn before we do it ourselves. Thank you for posting all these useful videos, and here I go, liked, subscribed and saved this video in my playlist :) Cheers!

[@CosmicSeeker69]

Best ever travel book: Celestine Prophecy - James Redfield. And it's nothing to do with travel. Good luck

[@Asdfghjkl1234]

Thank you!! You are an absolute inspiration. I bought my adventure motorcycle this week. I start traveling next week. There’s never a perfect time and it is it is always a perfect time to travel. Respect to all from Durango Mexico 🇲🇽

[@ulisescastro6658]

Kinga, you're such a lovely, funny and brave girl! I have become a fan of your travels and vlogs. Being a father of three girl, I always look for examples for my kids. Hope you can make it through this complicated times and I'll be looking forward to see you in your trip for America ( the Continent, please)! Greetings and best wishes from Cancun, Mexico!

[@christiandiemond9595]

People such as yourself are inspiring to see how you manage to pull together the material, funds, fortitude, etc. that necessary for the life of adventure.

[@MaxWilly1979]

No no no there's nothing wrong with you... lol really like your sense of humour... good to know that you feel safe and are fulfilling your dreams.... it Gives a real hope and knowledge that there's good people all over the world and that we should embrace our differences and realise that we become richer and happier for doing that...

[@SilverLimey79]

The whole world is out there and its people like yourself that make other realise how accessible the world is. One of my favorite channels. 👌🏻

[@johnnysechrist6313]

Great advice from someone with common sense. We love you.

[@shaanuday]

I thought I was the only person having problems presenting myself in front of the camera in one go. I almost have given up presenting myself on videos. This video has given me the courage again and I am getting back to my roots again. Thanks.

[@Pranav_520]

I was so upset.. Thanks for inspiration. Now i'm going to sell everything and hit the road.. ♥️

[@mohammadsaifulislam7040]

all the best , Life will never back this world again so enjoy the valuable time trip

[@LoneTraveller404]

Brohh... Sell everything and invest in something better.. So when you bank account is shallow, go do whatever you want.. Trust me.. People say money doesn't bring happiness but in 2020.. Hell yeah it does.. So Goodluck..

[@1200airhead]

Hi Pranav, I think your awesome. The courage it would take I can't even imagine. What bike are you going to use? I could ask you so many question> take care, save travels.

[@martinforrester8249]

Still love ya Kinga. I hope your health gets better, keep taking the tablets eh ? Sooo envious of your travels, love your content.Plan on buying some of your merchandise now summers here in the UK. Look forward to your new adventures.

[@antoonvermeulen8064]

Free spirit, serious joy, lots of wisdom, good angel on the shoulder. Good journey.

[@scottlochans4180]

MASSIVE RESPECT, THOUGHT THAT BEFORE YOU SAID YOU WERE RESPECTED! TRAVELLING THE WORLD ON A BIKE? WHAT A THRILL!!! BMW 800 OFFROADER, RELIABILITY PROVEN, I WAS A KAWASAKI FAN FOR OVER 30 YEARS, BUT I HAVE A GSF 650 BANDIT IT'S NOT EVEN A BANDIT S, BETTER THAN A BANDIT S. BEST BIKE EVER, PULLS UP A STEEP HILL, LIKE IT'S FALLING OFF A CLIFF. IT'S A JOY, BUT HOW KNOWLEDGEABLE ARE YOU?!!! WHAT AN EXPERIENCE, THE PEOPLE YOU'D MEET. HAVE A SAFE AND FUN JOURNEY.

[@paulbarlow305]

This is a fantastic video Kinga. It covers so many topics that other sites don't cover. It explains so much in detail. Thank you so much for making it. Take care and enjoy your travels. 👍👍

[@williamtravis9283]

Kinga's Attitude: "No Fear!" FEARLESS!

[@fa6529]

Hello! I would like to hear about those dangerous occasions and some safety tips too!

[@kevinh753]

That was a brilliant video - very informative and I am sure motivational for anyone thinking about travelling. One thing I would add - some people may be afraid of starting with such a high target as a round the world trip, especially if they have never travelled far before. Most people have not explored their own country, so a "round the country" trip may be a good place to start and get a feel for life on the road, unless you live in a tiny country of course :-)

[@amitbarla9508]

You're an amazing woman! I love watching your videos, they always have great content. Looks like this trip has been the answer to many past issues. Wish you all the best! Keep the videos coming. 😊

[@nettayaw2231]

It’s my dream to motorcycle around the world, hopefully my broken humerus from bad motorcycle accident grows back and I can start preparing for the trip. Kinga, you are an inspiration to this 60+year old woman❤️

[@lylemacdonald6672]

And you are an inspiration to others. I hope you heal soon and achieve your RTW dream.

[@garym2213]

Nettaya, I hope you are all healed up soon. I've been there twice so I can relate to your desire to ride once you are better. Wishing happy ,pain free days soon.

[@nettayaw2231]

Oh thank you so much for well wishes. I didn’t expect that. So many kind hearted people out there❤️

[@dnemero]

Very informative to plan a trip. @ 17:10 you mentioned the electricity problem in Ethiopia. That’s why we Ethiopian’s are very serious about the construction of the #GERD. SAFE RIDE in all your journey!

[@marthabell5856]

Your videos are wonderful...I look forward to each offering. Safe travels!

[@KLRmurdercycle]

WOW your editor is doing a wonderful job. In my travels I despise paying just to pitch a tent for 3-7 hours. Unless I need to clean up, it's always free for me. Good info where to start with documentation, and border ordeals🖖🤘

[@sajinaks]

I'm 29 and eagerly looking forward to touch the road once I'm settled. But first I need to work on overcoming my anxiety and fear about my life.😷

[@FrankRiedijk_NL]

Sa Jin !! My suggestion. Turn that logic around: go on the road and overcome those fears.

[@debabratasingha6430]

After lockdown again start world tour. You're brave lady Kinga.

[@Zany4God]

Thank you, so much. You have provided a gold-mine of information on the documents one needs to possess in order to travel from country to country. This is my first visit to your vlog and I'd like to continue watching your travels. Thank you for making all you do available to others.

[@dpark2210]

Amazing young lady! Keep up the Good work and safe travels.

[@katyamato1347]

Thank you Kinga. You are the bike Diva. When are you coming to the America?

[@MaxFromSydney1]

@onherbike, Thank you for this engaging and very informative video. A lot of bikers dream about doing a round-the-world trip or other big trip but very few people do it. Best of luck with your travels.

[@gedionbekele9825]

Hey Kinga I don’t know what to say you are my hero I wish long long long life and more safe adventure traveling also Am or ready miss you and your amazing bike so much Tnx a lot for everything 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@chrisheggie952]

Nothing wrong with you lady. Nothing but respect for you is the answer!

[@shivangadeka]

Thank you for sharing information about Carnet De Passage, IDL and insurance. Really helped! carnet is and always has been a pain for almost any overlander as rightly pointed out by your experience. Keep it coming ;)

[@BlackThor15]

Great video Kinga, well done!! Can`t wait for part 2. Stay safe!!

[@lekhrajluvgurjar8366]

Lots of Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@derekfranco2465]

Thank you for that video Kinga. I am also preparing for my own round around the world you answered some very good questions.

[@huangdi6068]

Love you kinga!!! Ride safe always!!!!

[@nourichamlal3538]

The tourist must be respected by the police because he is a passerby and has an important role in discovering the world with its civilizations, and he encourages global tourism. My respect for tourists from all parts of the world

[@jackjackson4964]

This is the first video of yours that I have watched, but absolutely not the last. I admire your bravery and honest manner. I’ve always been told that Australian women are above the norm, and I think that you are the proof of that. Excellent video, and good luck in your travels. Jack

[@pokersteveo3565]

You seem to have a great sense of humour, thanks for the entertainment! Safe travels!

[@grahamx8623]

That was brilliant, thanks Kinga you're a real inspiration. I love your channel, I'd love to do what you are doing as do so many others. I'm hoping the next episode tells me where to get some brave pills?? Thanks again and good luck with future travels.

[@photographer-gf]

Kinga, very useful and interesting information, excellent presentation! A Big Thank You!

[@dhruvav2878]

Hi Kinga. Appreciate you taking time to share the details. I will hit the road one day like you..not sure when :-)...I will reach you for your advice. Good luck. Cheers..

[@mrcontentobserver13]

Very informative & love the content. Thank you for sharing Kinga!

[@gregoryjohnwilson2108]

best overland advice on you tube. I did London to Dubai alone on a T120 and had a budget of 50 euros a day camping most nights and cheap hotels in places like Iran. best advice you shared was just go, its not that scary if you trust your gut to keep safe

[@mardelplatalimousines3423]

No matter how many obstacles may come on your way, you will always overcome!

[@irchristo]

Concise and precise. Thank you. Welcome when you come to Phoenix, Arizona USA

You are one HELL of a graceful daredevil rider who has carved out a place in the biking world mostly dominated by male chauvinist kings..and here rides the Queen with a Haelo.. God bless and keep posting your rides for us to see and dare..

Good afternoon, I just entered your channel, it caught my attention, since I have been following Niko for some time, who is going around the world on a motorcycle, which is something similar to what you do, I congratulate you, I wish you the best

[@rtwt7487]

My business is currently up for sale. I hope to be on the road before the ink is dry. Watching your videos helps keep me going in the mean time. Love your work, please keep it up and take care.

[@sundog9999]

Kinga, that was absolutely FANTASTIC! I have no plans to travel the world - but found this video to be an incredible insight into your travels!

[@131313blackcat]

I like your attitude, stay safe its a pretty good world out there isn't it, from NZ

[@psychosourabh007]

Woman.... You just motivated me more to travel on bike around the world...... I already had this plan...but.....seeing people who've actually done that.... Just makes me feel that its possible..... We'll meet someday on road.... 😀

[@michaelgrabbe2803]

Wonderful video. I just stumbled across your vlog and am subscribed. I have been watching ItchyBoots until now. Curious to know if the two of you shared notes on your respective travels?

Since I was young I always dreamed of buying a motorcycle and traveling the world, so I worked hard and today I have the motorcycle but I no longer have the will, what is the moral of the story of my story, time flies and life flows like sand between your fingers.

[@truth-Hurts375]

Just do it mate....pack your bike and go !!! You will never regret it...

[@46557200]

Nice video Kinga, a love the way you explain things to us.

I love bikes and your BMW is pretty good. Cheers from 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
