Please no mind to the spoiler alert, but before I watch her current video, titled crocodile. does she wrestle of get eaten by one?

I imagine she's going to spend some real time in Mexico and the states given her current speed through Central America and the distance she still has to close by the fall.
 
I too would be hesitant crossing those rivers if I thought there were crocs in them.

I am NOWHERE near as trusting as she is; following some strange dude down a jungle path with no one else around for miles? Perhaps after all these years and miles she is just a really good judge of character.
 
Who wouldn't be? The point is...no Crocs were seen in any of the crossings. Maybe some were around. Why put Crocs in the title if you didn't see any?

What kind of shoes was she wearing editing the video?

Actually it is not decrepit enough. I have been thinking about changing my avatar to a weather beaten windmill to be more representative :rofl:
I actually like Itchy's adventures but I also like wanderingJeepsey because I like her desert videos. She is not near as profesional but is getting better with her videos.

I think I'd be heaving my guts up on that boat ride across the lake.

One thing that amazes me on each of her border crossings is how difficult the various governments make it - sometimes when leaving a country, but more specifically when trying to get in. A lack of signs / directions on where to go, multiple places to go, etc. How hard is it to set up Bldg A for this, Bldg B for that, Bldg C for the other, and be done with it? Or better yet, Building A with offices A, B, and C.

It's amazing how often this type of critical thinking doesn't happen. And often when it does, it's challenging to maintain improvements because people steal signs and otherwise destroy property.
 
I had some of the same challenges on my travels to South America and Asia as well. Similar to what she does for logistics, I found it much easier to hire a "guide/handler" to help me navigate offices and pay "expedite fees"🙄 when necessary. Just made things easier and kept me outta trouble and didn't waste as much time.
 
Yeah, and these systems aren't designed from scratch - they evolve. So once maybe it was all in one building, at one desk. Then they need more capacity, so customs and immigration split into different buildings. Insurance? That's the private industry, so it pops up where ever it can. Etc...

But yes, "customer service" is not top-of-mind for developing world government agencies.
 
I'm getting there there is one on a county road I like. I deleted the old and couldn't upload. Soon. Thanks want my motorcycle in pic.
 
I remember when she got her 100K subscriber plaque, she was so blown away to gain that many subscribers. She stated that it was likely her last one because she'd have to hit a million to get the next plaque.

Today she woke up to this.

She's got a Facebook post on it thanking everyone.

Yesterday's romp thru the jungle was kinda interesting. I kept thinking this is like a Dan Brown or Tom Clancy novel with a motorcyclist as opposed to a super spy.

Also, mini hijack. I was watching"On Her Bike" immediately afterwards. She's been in Africa for the last year or so. She mentioned that she's about to have her bike shipped to North America. So I'll be watching to see where she goes. I wonder if she and Itchy might arrange to run into each other as female motorbike world explorers?
 
I enjoyed yesterday's episode as well. I'm glad she explained that the rocks were a natural phenomenon as I wouldn't have known otherwise. I also liked the episodes a few back where the young girl was showing her the rock carvings in her yard. Imagine having all that history just sitting in your yard! Congrats to her on the 1M subscribers. I bet when she started this journey she thought "well, I'll just post some videos so my friends and family know what I'm doing".
