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'm 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 lead as normal a life as possible so please donate generously: gogetfunding.c...
None of that would be possible without my official sponsors:

Welcome to my home state! So here’s a bit of info about the Top of the World Highway. The reason the asphalt from the Alaska Highway to Chicken is cracked and broken (like most of the other paved roads in Alaska) is because of frost heaving. That’s the ground rising and settling from the heat/freeze cycles. For that reason and because of mining operations from Chicken to the “million dollar highway” is still dirt. On the Canadian side, they tend to use a lot of Calcium Chloride on the dirt to bind the road surface to keep it firm. Alaska does too on dirt roads that have heavy traffic. It’s much easier to maintain dirt roads and far cheaper than paved roads where frost heaving occurs. There’s also a lot of glacial dust in northern dirt that is very fine. When wet (especially when calcium chloride is first applied) the road surface becomes very slippery! Worse is that calcium and dirt mix sticks to everything and is nearly impossible to clean off!

[@onherbike]

That's brilliant! Thank you for the explanation 😊

[@jameswillburn837]

Kinga Wow quite the ride got to love mud happy trail . Happy holidays wishing you much joy and peace safe travels smiles 👍🎉 🤩.

[@onherbike]

Thank you 😊

[@bobdrifter2402]

Another VLOG filled with beauty and fun! Even Chilie covered in mud was gorgeous! I have been reading and enjoying your BLOGS which are filled with fascinating back stage drama and information. Watch the Vlog then read the Blog and you have the whole adventure! Well written, entertaining, informative, just like your Vlogs! Stay safe, Kinga!

[@onherbike]

Thank you 😊

[@driftlessbiker]

Top of the World Highway was definitely a high point for my trip last year. The cracks/condition of the paved portion after Chicken appears to have gotten even worse! It is so nice seeing another perspective on the roads I enjoyed.

[@qzorn4440]

Such a beautiful road-trip. 🛴🏕 Watch out for the giant highway chickens. 🐔🐓 Looks like so much fun. Thank you for the video of Alaska.

[@my357mags]

I'd say Chillie is a very dirty girl...time for a bath! Very much enjoyed EP. 257 Kinga 👍

[@rogerhenson6589]

Why did the Chicken cross the Road. To say Hi to Kinga an Chillie of course ❤AWSOME HAIR 😘

[@vangoodwin7335]

Oh Poo! Yes Miss Kinga I am still in Love with you! During my time in Alaska I never did get used to what the winter ice heaves could do to a road. Gorgeous views and a wonderful ride that i for one am grateful for you sharing with us. Way back when I was in elementary school America was going to convert to the metric system. Well, I guess we know how that turned out, I have tape measures in my shop that read both. Neither of which I need to know your hair looks fabulous! I've no idea where you will be spending your holidays but i do wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Healthy Happy New Year. With Love and Respect, You are in my prayers Hoka Hey

[@piusbayo7278]

An amazing journey in the wilderness of the top of the world. Congrats on reaching Alaska

[@siphonsnob]

You didn't leave your underwear hanging from the ceiling in Chicken?

[@JessBottom-m5i]

Your hair looks great but Chlie needs a bath. Luv your celebration when you got to Alaska!

[@daniross2758]

Kinga they build the roads on the tops of the mountains we’re possible because it can be 20 or 30 degrees warmer in the winter on top you probably noticed the same idea on the Demeter hwy which I ran for many years trucking to Inuvik and beyond have fun up in Alaska

[@txmorley]

Loved the Top of the World highway when I rode up to Alaska in 2017. The "Dempster Highway Dust" will not fall off! It is Calcium Chloride sprayed on the roads to keep the dust down, CaCl i sthe main component is cement so Chillie is now coated in cement! Hope you find a good, hot pressure washer in Fairbanks!

[@thomasstockslager9574]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, ride safe and keep up the great work.

[@davem8836]

If I'd known you were going back to Dawson I would have directed you to the police station. They get people on probation to wash vehicles as part of a public service. The asphalt freezes and cracks and is too problematic, hence the gravel roads in that part of the world.

[@suek.1507]

Congrats, Kinga, on making it to Alaska. What a beautiful ride. Safe travels. See you in the next one... your hair looks great!

[@onherbike]

Thank you 😊

[@khalrashidi]

Kinga. I'm happy for you. You deserve a million followers.💯👏💪

[@jmajp1633]

Good memories on Top of the World Highway, your bike really needed a bath, because of the Calcium Chloride on Dempster Highway 😅

[@marekkrk8757]

Kinga, drapanie reflektorów i kierunkowskazów aż mnie zabolało! Tam nie ma myjni, albo chociaż szlaucha na stacji? Aż czułem fizyczny ból podrapania 😮 Biedna Chilli…

[@martinforrester8249]

Yes, thought the very same. Probably no jet wash available? If that muck clogs the radiator, not good news either, or is it air cooled ?

[@Yvanzdoug]

Much respect 🫡🔥

[@soilsmanadv6673]

Chile is such a dirty, dirty girl. I loved my trip to Alaska in 1994. I drove up on the AlCan and back on the Cassiar from Washington State.

[@Nrgpack]

That damage to the road is probably caused by ground frost... Big thanks for another awesome video!!

[@smygern1962]

the streak in the road comes from water under the asphalt that freezes and expands in winter. Same problem in Norway. Merry Christmas from Norway

[@aboahmed908]

I wish you a happy trip, Kinga. Greetings to you from Iraq

[@retiredwaterdoctor]

lucky no Starbucks...chili to dirty to go there...😃😃😃

[@brucegerken1063]

Great video thank you very well done thanks again cheers to ya . .

[@robertgoerss]

You have a beautiful trip north. Hope the weather is good and you have fun!

[@bchost]

Here in BC the ferries usually let the motorcycles on first, up front, so they can exit first and not get all the dust and stones flying... Please be careful zooming along remote roads, many wild animals can dash across without warning. Carry on your adventure Kinga!!

[@fireman12464]

Great episode Kinga 👊🏼💪🏼👍🏼👌🏼🤩

[@yorkchris10]

Good advice for someone following in your footstep. After a particularly warm thaw, Canada's most northern railway was in jeopardy of abandonment. It serves communities along the way and also a grain port at Hudson's Bay.

[@martinforrester8249]

I was concerned when you were scraping your headlights, not a good idea. Probably no jet wash facility that far North eh ? All that muck in you rad won't do much good either? Awesome area though. Happy, healthy Christmas Kinga and another exciting New Year to you. Safe riding.😊

[@Wrong-Way-Round]

Exactly my thoughts, there is bound to have been a facility somewhere there in Dawson City, to wash out the radiator, also to clean/ oil the chain again. Not good maintainance 'girl'. Things like that tend to come back and bite you unexpectedly. Merry Christmas all the same.

[@billsteeves2974]

Earthquakes OHB, thats what splits the roads. BTW, GREAT music.

[@thermesoss]

Beatiful road trip ✌️✌️✌️✌️

[@ekskdks]

This is an adventure . It's really beautiful.

[@Dani-rs6cw]

congrat!!! from australia to alaska - so cool!

[@georgevangordon9728]

Frost heave is what causes that on the roads

[@dominiquemarchant-k5d]

Well done Kinga ! Another Big Spot in your Big Travel around the world 👍

[@enduromotorradtouren]

Another state and much larger than most European countries. Hope that highway dirt doesn't stick to you and Chillie. Happy New Year and safe travels, Günter/Nürnberg

[@alanarmer8069]

[@Don-ev5ov]

Hope you see some grizzlies. Beautiful scenery. For extra credit, I hope you can photograph a jackalope or a bigfoot.

[@сергейшевцов-н3п]

😊🎉❤

[@AdamForeman]

Have you got Chillie booked in for a full service and new tyres on your way back to "civilisation"? Just proves how good the GS is to all the GS deniers.

[@abellseaman4114]

That pavement damage on the road at the 14 minute mark is typical of the damage frost and freeze thaw cycles can do to any road surface and it is why many northern roads are gravel as they can be smoothed out and leveled with the pass of a plow..........................for another look at how ice can push things around - have a look at a typical Arctic Pingo which is a dome of ice that may be up to 165 feet high...........................

[@CliveAshley-d7g]

Another great Alaska adventure 🎉 enjoying fr Jamaica 🏖️❤

[@DarrenMalone253]

Your cheeriness is contagious!! I’ve done long couple day rides only and have not been that happy lol! And bikes are meant for going the wrong way 😂

[@billcotton1551]

I watched a video with a guy riding the Dempster on a KLR, and the mud clogged his radiator, and the bike stopped running. Seems to be almost like cement.

[@kenthompson5723]

As you seem to be monetizing your videos, you need to know that some of your videos appear to be illegal. Making money from youtube videos filmed on American federal lands is prohibited. It's a federal crime, and could result in substantial penalties.
