Go your heartest
Приєднався 20 тра 2021
Hey, thanks so much for checking in. I'm a passionate motorcycle traveler, photo- and videographer and am excited to meet people, share their stories and my experiences. For hundreds of years we've told the story of a singular hero, surviving this harsh world out there... but all I have ever experienced are wonderful places and friendly, hearty, open and super helpful people. I passionately believe that we're living in a wonderful, providing world and that the hero is plural, since none of the trips I made solo, I would've been able to have done alone. Traveling alone has turned out to be an impossibility and I can't wait to share from my next trip with you- overland from Germany to Australia. Stay tuned for some travel stories from a big adventure, a glorious world and dream of a lifetime. ✨
Eid al Fitr within Indonesian family - solo on xt500 from Germany to Australia
In this special time, I want to share a magical encounter, time and people with you. It always amazes me, how the universe is bringing me together with most lovely people on this earth, always in the perfect time.
I was exhausted lately, and kept thinking that I would love to find a place and opportunity to rest. Then Jakarta told me, that due to Ramadan, they’ll be on holiday for the next week, and that I could take my time. 🙌🏼✨
Six days ago, I found myself riding in the dark, the rain wouldn’t stop. I had a hotel logged in my maps, but felt like I need to find a place to get off the road, that’s closer in reach. A search for homestay brought me to a lovely couple, telling me, that their house isn’t an official homestay, but that they have a room, and that I could stay. These wonderful people are Yanti and Devis.
Yanti was hosted before, while she was studying, so she’s passing on the spirit. We fell in love, and she insisted me to stay for her families celebrating of Eid al Fitr, the end of Ramadan. Last year, around this time, I had spend this time in Turkey, with my friend Anna and her husband’s family, close to Istanbul. Now I’m honoured to experience the magnificent hospitality of the Muslim people here on Sumatra.
I’m so grateful.
Terima kasih everyone and a happy Eid al Fitr! 🙌🏼♥️

Last camping morning in Pakistan- and last wild camping for a while. I’ve been getting either lucky or skilled at finding a suitable campspot in the wild. Or maybe a mixture of both 😌🙌🏼 Getting closer to flat areas and more populated areas, increases the possibility to be seen. And you’ll me er know what people who see you will make from it. I prefer not to be seen, especially before I’m hearin...

I made it very clear, that I’m not planing to go anywhere on the bike in the near future. Especially not in the set up of physical pain, combined with such extreme off roads. His reaction was a step dance on my back. And it wor...

Babusar top, 4137m, was one of the last accomplishments for the next 3 days. A massive landslide just blocked the road further down. Not knowing how long it’ll take to free it up, we checked into a guesthouse, run by a big family. It’s their last weeks up here, before they’ll hibernate down in the valley. On day 3, the news reached, that the road was going to open today. We left around noon & w...
Pit stop in Islamabad, Pakistan - solo female motorcycle trip - on XT500 from Germany to Australia

The four days in Islamabad were all about resting a bit, washing the moto suit (first time since Albania last year, if I’m recalling it correctly 🫣) and applying for the Indian visa. It took me a total of about two and a half days, to gather the papers, write the statements for the high commission of India and get that Polio refresh. Now it’s all about crossing fingers. 🤞🏼 Like many travellers ...

Today will be my last day of the escort. After a total of 14 days with constant police and guns, it’s hard to believe, and I wonder how it’s going to be. But before I’d be roaming in freedom, we had a grand finale. Hammad‘s family send me off with a beautiful breakfast with handmade Roti, the typical unleavened flatbread. Through most marvellous nature, I made my way across Victoria bridge, (wh...

Dear Diary, My desire to find and experience truth has led me to so many places already. And yet, I’m wondering how and where to find truth. Does it happen on the outside or on the inside? And when do I know that I’ve found truth? Leaving my home 537 days ago has also allowed me to increasingly leave the mindset I grew up in. I’m experiencing how many different ways to live, believe, and cultur...

Simon made it out. When we reached the border of Balotchistan region, entering Sindh region, he was able to make it really clear to the police, that he had enough of the escort. After a hug and a last photo, he escaped onto the motorway- prohibited area for motorcycles in Pakistan. This left me with my own personal escort until Islamabad- for the next 11 days to come. 🤷🏼♀️👮🏻♂️👮🏼♂️👮🏽♂️👮🏾♂️👮...

Quetta. Time to get the NOC paper in order to continue the journey, and the usual routine, when entering a new country: SIM card and some cash. We were not allowed to leave the hotel unguarded, so a complex net of escorting vehicles was activated. We were taken to a couple police stations, where we had to mostly wait. We made the best of it, by inviting ourselves into the police canteen for a b...

great motorcycle
Great picture you speak so eloquently. The video is good enough to be on SBS NITV in Australia. More people would appreciate watching it especially those who don’t have a phone and who cannot watch it on UA-cam.
Beautiful people and food.
Stunning architecture
Is it open for everyone or only for those who ride
Sag mal, welches Material hast Du verwendet, um die Alukoffer auszuklriden? Das sieht sehr gut aus und ich will das für meine Entrail-Koffer auch haben. Grüße aus dem Rheinland, Sven
Danke fürs Mitnehmen!
Top Handwerker👌
. . . ihr 2 seid einfache groß- einigartig❗️ #bigrespect
excellent animation. and nice slow pace ! thanks for inspiration.
Such a great man , master mechanic , and a great representative of our culture , i am very happy you came across with him , bon voyage
Who made the tank?
The xt has pretty much the same motor as the sr. Pretty much indestructable with minimum maintance. Owned a 1980 sr. 36 hp . A view things i always hated about the motor. It tended to overheat when it got to 30dg celcius day temp. That would happen like clockwork afyer 4 or 5 hours straight riding. It fucked up my motor. And had a partial rebuild. The single oilline to the cam is not enough. Better get the double one. The oilpump is barley doing its job. But those things can easly be fixed. The things that pissed me of the most wer the needle barings in the swingarm. Someone must have had a brainfart putting those things in. And the clutch was bloody horrible. Same system as on the yamaha fs1 moped. Really,? Its a crappy system. But after all that ranting. I did love my sr . Great little thumper. Still regret selling it knowing what i know now about the bike. .. keep riding safely
Gänsehaut !!!
Liebe Melanie, Heute früh ist als Erstes dein Video auf meinem Handy aufgetaucht. Es gibt mir so viel Kraft und Mut zu sehen was möglich ist mit Liebe im Herzen und einem Ziel vor Augen. Ich freue mich mit dir, jedesmal wenn ich deine Reise über deine Videos"begleiten "darf . Es inspiriert mich, fühle dich gedrückt ❤"Supergirl" Astrid
My dear daughter Melanie, so marvelous to see you and these friendly people. What a wonderful family you met with an open heart to provide lovingly hospitality. You and all of them are blessed to experience these moments. It touches my heart with deep thankfulness 🙏🏼. Ride save further on and very best regards to all of them with love❤for you and everyone over there. 🙏🏼 Dad
Hi sis melany❤..my name esti ..
Bravissimo meccanico !!!
Since I saw you on Samosir Island, I tried to look for your UA-cam channel, finally I found it, I was really amazed when I saw you 🙏🙏😁
Tolle Video, was hat die ganze Aufbau und Service gekostet?
Immer noch sehr wenig Aufrufe, obwohl sehr schöne Videos hast du. Ich wünsche dir weiterhin viel Spaß 🍀
So schöne Videos👍 leider sehr wenig Aufrufe! Warum?! Versuche mal mit anderen Biker Kontakt aufzunehmen. Z. B. Gezmekenkolay, Gülsah Merve Yüksel, Saliha Özkan
Schade, dass du immer noch sehr wenig Aufrufe hast, trotz sehr schöne Videos. 👍
Ellerine sağlık ustam 😊
Es geht immer weiter, auf schlechte, folgen gute Tage, so wie dieser!! Weiterhin gute Fahrt!!!
Nice. I guess this is a few hours before we met...
Yes! About 10 hours before we met in Padang! 😊
You are working hard best of luck
Ohgottohgott.. Ab in die Suppe. 😇
That is some view ! Any problems with mighty XT so far ?
Thank you. No. No major problems. Bursted bolts or cracks in the carrier and maintenance. That’s it. 🙋🏼♀️
Take Care. Nice vid❤
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼
Hi,my friend,I meet you in Thailand, you're welcome,
Hey! Thank you. Where did we meet?
Bin 78 mit meinem EIERBÄR, so habe ich meine XT 500 genannt, von Köln bis Kathmandu gefahren. Ziel war Weihnachten am Strand von Goa mit meinen Freunden aus Rodenkirchen zu feiern 🎉. Habe ich auch gemacht. War insgesamt 4 Jahre in Asien und Südostasien unterwegs, hauptsächlich in Thailand 🇹🇭, wo ich über 2 Jahre als Voluntär in einer christlichen Mission verbracht habe. John 3, 16
Mega Geschichte! Vielen lieben Dank fürs Teilen! Ich sag das immer, wenn Leute mich darauf ansprechen, dass die xt schon so alt ist, das sie vor 40 Jahren State of the art war und man damals auch solche Touren gemacht hat. An ihrer Qualität und Leistung hat sich nichts geändert 😊 Ich liebe es mit Uhr zu reisen. Viele liebe Grüße aus Thailand! 🙋🏼♀️

Hallo, braucht man denn einen Carnet des Passages für deine Route unbedingt? Ich finde deine Videos und Dich super! Liebe Grüsse aus der Nord Schweiz..
Hey, vielen Dank! Ja, ich brauchte das carnet ab Iran. Für Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia theoretisch nicht, aber sie haben es zt trotzdem gestempelt. Viele liebe Grüße aus Bangkok! 🙋🏼♀️
@@GoyourheartestSorry für die Eindringlichkeit, nur als Information; falls man es braucht, kann man die Kaution auch ausserhalb Deutschlands in einem nicht carnet-pflichtigem Land auszahlen lassen. Dann einfach nicht mehr in einem Land einreisen, dass es verlangt. Ich hoffe, dass man dieses Dokument einmal nicht mehr braucht. Danke für die Antwort und viel Spass auf deiner Reise.
Du bekommst die Kaution nur wieder, wenn dein Fahrzeug das carnet innerhalb der Abmachung nicht mehr benötigt. Du müsstest in ein anderes Land importieren, um entsprechende Papiere zu bekommen, die du deinem Automobilklub vorlegst. Ganz im Ernst- frag am besten bei deinem Automobilklub nach! Die haben alle eine carnet Abteilung!
@@Goyourheartest Danke für die Information und eine gute Reise !
WOW, and i bet the video does not do it justice,,
True. Video doesn’t even come close. Never seen mountain cones like this 😊
Amazing view,,,

You re lucky to get this mechanic.Hes done really good work!
I know. He’s been absolutely unique 🙌🏼
That song was composed by my cousin.That old XT500 is still rocking!Quite amazing! Got Honda XR650l myself
Omg, which song? The power of love or Dil Dil Pakistan? Either way, both songs are masterpieces 😄 Yeah, xt lives traveling just like I do.
