SOLO Motorcycle Ride through Turkmenistan. Ep 9

Turkmenistan was the eighth country I visited and I must admit it was the strangest of all the Stans. Getting transit visa is very random - normally only 50% of applications get approved. I was lucky... this time! I spent only 3 days in Turkmenistan but I got to see one of the main attractions - The Darvaza gas crater known locally as the ''Gates of Hell". The crater is located 7km from the main road which would seem not very far, but this big sandy hill was a massive challenge for me. My poor sand riding skills weren't going to stop me from reaching my goal... I was determined to find a way there ;).

If you wish to get more details on my stay in Turkmenistan check out my blog post:
onherbike.com/content/turkmeni...
In April 2017 I left Australia for my 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.com/arewethereyet/

    Kinga, how amazing to see the final video! My dad send it over to me, if you remember we're the Germans with the giant Volkswagen. The video looks fantastic and I hope you made it to Poland in one piece and happy!

    Hello there, my wife and I have started watching your round the world trip videos, we’re currently on episode 10. I want to say how much you demonstrate that there is so much good in the world. People who have very little, are always willing to share what little they have. You have had so much help from random people, and that’s just in the 9 videos we’ve watched to date. I’m hoping to get back into biking after selling my beloved K1200S in 2013 to free up some cash for the family. It’s now time to buy and I am definitely getting a 1250GS possibly the Adventure. I realise you’re on the middle weight GS, but I am not going to be adventurous as you. My wife and I are going to do road tours when I get it next spring/summer. You must be a great inspiration for women around the World taking on such an arduous, dangerous and challenging endeavour with the resolve and spirit of the ancient expeditions. If you’re still going when I get our bike, perhaps we all might meet up who knows where? Stay safe and good luck, from the UK.
