Kia ora. Do any of you watch #ItchyBoots on Youtube? One of the most impressive channels I have come across - a Dutch woman riding the world on her motorbike. A geologist who walked away from her PhD after a set of life circumstances intervening. She is currently heading for the Kyrgyzstan-Chinese border.
Her channel has 3.18 million followers on it, and is possibly the biggest motorbiking channel on Youtube. She is 100% authentic and has a book out about her early days as a transcontinental rider.

I've ridden 190.000 kilometers solo around the world and still counting! My name is Noraly, I'm Dutch and passionate about motorcycles, traveling and adventuring. In 2018, I quit my job, sold my belongings and have been traveling the world fulltime by motorcycle since then. Over 70 countries later, I am currently riding east. My motorcycle is a 1987 Yamaha Tenere, completely restored and with some amazing modifications - my motorcycle and I are the same age! I share my adventures here on YouTube every Wednesday and Sunday! Welcome to the channel and I hope you'll enjoy the ride! LET'S GO! Mijn YouTube kanaal heeft meer dan 500.000 abonnees en staat daarom automatisch onder toezicht bij het Commissariaat voor de media.
There's not enough money in the world to convince me to do this, but it is wonderful to watch. Amazing.
7 year review of Itchy Boots' travels. Amazing.
Her channel has reached 3m subscribers and it's well deserved.
Oh, geez! Itchy Boots is leaving Pakistan headed to Afghanistan, on her way to Japan.
Pakistan is gorgeous. Amazing landscape.
Wow! I say this with every video from #ItchyBoots, but Pakistan is sooo gorgeous!
Wow! Pakistan is beautiful, like majestic beautiful!
Doing what she's doing is very impressive, but there is no amount of money that would convince me to do it. Glad she's doing it, so I can see a bit of these places, but.
Pakistan is a beautiful country.
She’s one of the most recognizable riders on Earth.
