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 ;).

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!
Please don’t forget when getting to ride in Sandy toad Lower your air pressure . Salute to Turkmen lads great people they are always helpful , what beautiful country. You’ve done well my dear too also the nice German couple 🌹can’t wait to see next ❤️🇮🇷
The young lad did very well in flip-flops 5:50 His face was the picture of concentration. He's a credit to Turkmenistan.
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.
such a rockstar of motorcycling community. Reading comments of support and awe from around the world almost as great as the videos themselves. Thank you
Great video, great to see you’ve recovered and are back on the road 👍🏻
Way to go Kinga, showing that with a bit of determination and a little help from friends, you can overcome any obstacle. Another wonderful video 😃 _"Kinga, taking on the world, one sandy hill at a time 👍"_ 😉
Thank you Kinga!! Hope the recovery is going well. Can't wait for the next ones. Keep it up!!
Awesome video! Thanks for the upload!!! Love you and more power!!!
Bravo!! You are quite amazing. Most people would be crying on the side of the road, but you keep smiling :)
Living the dream, love watching your adventures. Until then just taking notes.
all my life i wish i could be able to do what you are doing. ive rode most kinds of bikes, to the extreme even, but never out of the country. now i cant to afford to ride lately, but im thankful you shared your trip with the rest of us. you go girl, it takes a heck of a lot to do what you have done. keep it up
Your ride was fantastic. The people with kind hearts made it even way better.
That is unbelievable. Great video. Great countries you re riding. Keep on riding 😉
You are amazing and very courageous:-) !!! The people are everywhere are so generous. Great editing also! Be safe!
You are fearless, those sandy/off-road are tough. Kind people are everywhere. Love all your adventures.
Hello! greetings from Brazil! I discovered your videos and I can not stop watching, I will become your fan. I also do some traveling with my Yamaha XT660R and hope one day to be able to carry out a long trip like yours. Take care!
Love how the men help with good nature. Beautiful video, thank you.
Tough ride in sand. Yuk! Glad you managed to get out of the sand bkg. Well done 👍😊
Amazing adventure. Really enjoy the videos, mad respect
Welcome . In the sand, dear, you have to lower the air pressure in the wheels and get into the sand firmly without stopping. I do this by bike scooter 150 cc I can pass the deserts by

As you can see in the video, lighter unencumbered bikes were doing better. a 150cc scooter would be much easier.

Kinga khanoom you rock! I didn't know how sandy Turkmenistan is. At least parts of it. Never mind all the GS comments. I am sure most have never even ventured off-road. Not to mention onto sand. Inspiration to us all. Love the videos. A+ editing and production. Kam from Virginia, U.S.A.
Thanks for sharing ur juarney. Be careful all the times. God bless you!
Love it Kinga ;) Super kanał pozdrawiam z Polski

You are my hero. The music note at the end was sweet.
That had to be tough going, Hope you are healing and back on your bike soon.
Sand is nobodies friend. And you're right.. its mainly in the mind ! Way to tackle it and keep trying. Great episode!

Well done young Lass, you got there,,,,and fairplay tae the lads helping yae, I've been stuck in all sorts, you did good,,,rock on kiddo.....
A been loving your videos. Thanks for sharing. Good onya,huge respect.Did you have much off road experience before you left or learn along the way. Looking forward to the next vids . Cheers Steve
one amazing young lady, real adventure. The sand thing, from what i learn on youtube is to deflate the tyres and keep up the speed, as soon as you slow down, you lose control, keep the power on. Easier said than done i expect. All the very best, you are an inspiration to men and women alike.
one more great adventure!!! my old dream : make a trip around the world........... but time passed so quick......now I´m 60!!!! Great for you, that did your dream come true!! I´m your fan!!! regards from Cuernavaca, Morelos. Mexico

정말 존경스런사람중 한분이네요 좋은영상 언제나 감사해요^^
I accidentally met this channel and then saw all the videos that were there, where watching your video I opened a google map, to see and how far the distance you went and that was amazing me...Greeting's from Indonesia
Sand is hard going even on a lighter bike loaded with luggage but covering long distance a bigger bike is nicer, but it’s always a compromise. You have some determination Kinga, love your videos and spirit, safe travels.
Kinga...you are amazing tho...👍 Keep on ride 💪
I'm glad you to get out of sands, that's scarry!
Kinga i love your challenge
hahaha, sand road will take much energy hahaha. By the way i really enjoy see your journey videos. Thx
Awesome loved it
wow ...amazing ... scenery unbelievable Great job . I can't imaging how exhausted you would be from that exercise in the sand .... I guess we know why those guys ride small light bikes .
Tu es complètement folle !!! 😱😱 mais de loin une pure aventurière 👍👍bravo et surtout fait bien attention à toi👊✌️
Just subscribed to a wonderful woman who is fearless in travelling. I watched several videos of yours travelling alone I'm also into bike but could not do it all alone and considering that you're a woman. Very inspiring
You must do a mighty and difficult job even for men. I salute you and congratulate you on this work.
Kinga, you have the camels in downunder too... must have felt like home.😎
This place is like a no man's land! God is great and good at you for there are some Samaritans out there willing to help you!.God bless you all...Greetings from Canada...
