Meet the woman riding across Africa on a motorcycle | DW News

[@half-breed]

Good for you, ichy boots channel on youtube is another woman traveling africa on motorcycle

[@TJ-hs1qm]

Meghylost is now in DRC with her bicyle. Sadly language creates barriers and European travelers attract more followers

[@rkasnake]

@@TJ-hs1qm Itchy boots is huge though and her content is top-notch. Meghy needs work to attract a consistent following. She'll get there.

[@Crashed131963]

Itchy Boots is also doing in right now from North to South .

[@salumalriyamy]

Or did?

[@Car-z6w]

@@salumalriyamy itchy boots had an accident in tz had to be airlifted back home. Currently she's back on her KZbin channel, preparing a 1987 bike for her next adventure episode.

[@salumalriyamy]

@@Car-z6w preparing is different from actually being doing

[@Car-z6w]

@@salumalriyamy did you watch the latest video of her taking the 1987 bike on a ride and camping out somewhere in Germany? The bike is not ready yet....still being fixed. Yes preparing is the word.

[@salumalriyamy]

@@Car-z6w and not just doing, the comment or says she is doing right now....

[@carlitoxb110]

The biggest danger is the corrupt police she might encounter in her journey

[@fatcole1152]

So many people crossing Africa by motorcycle right now. It must be the new Everest

[@freda970]

They need to STOP!!!!!! it's getting crazy, it's a very dangerous trip, some have been lucky, some haven't been. A french couple were killed years ago in South southern Nigeria, while doing this. This is crazy!!!!! We have Itchy boots, Pelumi, all doing this nonsense, they have all been lucky so far. This should not be encouraged our highways are laced with bandits.

[@libertynhunge1110]

The bandits needs to be stopped not tourist.

[@ja553]

You go girl. Blessings and peace Greetings from trinidad and tobago West indies.

[@SmoothSilk]

Great, Ebaide, I wish you safe travels, and good luck. This is truly living, something I missed out on in my 20s. And now in my 50s, try to do as much of it as I can, not on a bike though. Travel is the best education.

[@mutekuro]

Good luck to her and I wish her the absolute best and safety

[@istj-14]

Why is there no one riding with her? I’m all for adventure but this extremely dangerous and ill-advised.

[@TheTororist]

well, shes a trooper. even experienced overlanders avoid that route. most stick close to the coastline. central africa will be a challege. i wish her well

[@phreshmic]

@Itchy boot's inspiration

[@TheTororist]

the route she is taking is waay more insane than itchy boots'

[@mr.intolerance]

Where can i meet her?

[@qsxwic]

good quality motorcycle

[@bikedawg]

Go GIRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!

[@angatuedward6580]

Ebaide, Ebaide....!

[@bryanobell3083]

this woman is ever complaining...she doesn't relate well with inhabitants on her way

[@jofr4]

Do DW know itchy boots?

[@abdulkadirnazif6832]

I wonder?

[@adv67]

I am a Canadian woman want to ride motorcycle in Africa for 2 weeks. I want a woman guide. Would you want to be my guide ? Or do you know someone ? Is there a woman motorcycle club in your country ?

[@KurasaX]

Crossing borders or just riding in one town in Africa?

[@adv67]

No border crossing. Just riding in one region

[@KurasaX]

@adv67 If it's that, then it's easy. Just choose any african country which is safe, and especially in a more chilled region of country.

[@adv67]

@@KurasaX would Namibie be a safe country ? And which part would be safe to drive solo ?

[@KurasaX]

@adv67 I have never been to Namibia. I my opinion, if traveling is not an issue, come to Tanzania, it's very safe.

[@sibaraku2023]

Thank you China for building this awesome Nairobi-Mombasa highway in 18 months. Unlike the West, which only colonizes Africa.

[@alpharius_nox]

I hope you also thank them for bribing your politicians and getting exclusive rights to your sweet sweet natural resources. Like the gold mines near Voi.

[@Slipstreaminsano]

Yeah....you might wanna check the small print on how you're "paying" for this road. 😂

[@alpharius_nox]

@@Slipstreaminsano Exactly! 😱

[@Blodhelm]

Been decades since there were any colonists in Africa, why aren't you building your own roads? Just going to sulk about colonialism and ignore the warlords and criminals while begging the West for food and medicine? The West has forgiven colossal African debts, I doubt you'll receive the same from China. With your attitude, people will stop giving Africa such charity and might just leave you alone, on your own, completely.

[@AmazingMania]

That road was built in 1960s what are you talking about?

this one keeps crying on motobike..... bure kabisa

[@LorenzoWere]

Of course everyone needs a visa to travel. East Africans should travel within east african without visa...But west africans coming to east africa must have visa....especially nigerian passport can not be trusted. Let west africans travel through west africa with their passport and leave east africa alone, you dont see east africans eager to go to west africa

[@freda970]

Oh they are lots of them here, Kenyan and Ugandan ladies all over the major hotels and nightclubs; searching for rich Nigerian men. They come in their droves.

[@LorenzoWere]

@@freda970 That's total BS....We dont travel to west africa

[@Onenaijagirl]

You don’t know what’s happening. There are lots of Kenyan especially the ladies here and married to Nigerians. There are lots of Kenyan KZbin bloggers touring Nigeria even more than some Nigerians have done Nigeria and telling stories. Don’t make your people appear to be timid. They aren’t. For reference check African Tigress, Shorn Arwa and Rosemary Jus. They have Kenyans in Lagos meetups. Abeg make we hear. She say Nigerian passports are not to be trusted. 😂😂😂

[@leavemeal0ne378]

You guys aren't timid little babies with the amount of blown out war in EA countries 😂 1e​@LorenzoWere
