You can travel by air, by car, by bus, by boat or ship, cycling or even walking. We have met all these people. Why do people measure my travels by the mileage on my odometer? I never understand how that equals to how much I have traveled. What is the mileage on your plane? . . . . . #weirdquestions #travelquestions #motorcycletravel #bmwf700gs #bmwgirls #makelifearide #bmwmotorrad #theuntoldstoryofkenya #africanwomentravelers #herstory #sherides #womenontheroad #womenadvriders #womenoverlandingtheworld

ATM FEES One of the most painful expense that’s almost unavoidable for the majority of travelers is ATM fees. International ATM fees are between 3-5 dollars depending on your bank and reciprocating bank. Some of the ways to make a saving on these fees are: 1. If you come from the countries that have banks with travel products that reimburse ATM fees, ensure you sign up. 2. Avoid too many ATM withdrawals when you travel. Take out the maximum and plan your cash well to last you longer using PDQ where you can. 3. If you can get a $€£ account in your country, that reduces forex loss when traveling to those countries that use the currency. 4. If you are not traveling for a long time, consider carrying your money in cash. There is a security risk but mostly it’s safe if you take the right precautions. 5. Depending on your length of travel, you can carry the internationally accepted currencies like dollar and euros. These are currencies you can carry large values in small stashes. You can then change what you need in the countries you are traveling to. Most of the time you have a forex gain than loss. What are your tips on saving on ATM fees? In one and a half years, our ATM fees could actually pay for half a month of our travel. . . . #atmfees #bankcharges #travelfinances #travel #adventure #bmwf700gs #bmwgirls #makelifearide #bmwmotorrad #travelsavings #kenya #banks #travelproducts #travelaccount #travelbankaccount #herstory #travelmore #africanwomentravelers

Yesterday and today has been largely spent in planning 2020. I don’t do new year’s resolutions, I set goals. 2020 looks busy and one that present a whole new challenge. Being on the road for a long time comes with challenges, lessons, new ideas and a need to reorganize myself again. It has presented a whole new way of looking at the things and totally changed my views on many other things. My previous lifestyle had presented a path for the future that is now totally impossible to follow and so I must relook and rework things out. This has been a self discovery journey too. I have at the same time enjoyed the process of going things over with myself since July this year and I must admit, I feel much better that i can say things are falling into place. What are your plans for the coming year? What are the things you must do? What are the changes you want to make? Have you thought of throwing the old plan away and working a new one? . . . #herstory #travelstories #lifelessons #adventurelessons #goals #personaldevelopment #theuntoldstoryofkenya #panama #kenya #africa

It been a while since I rode a bike. Yes, 10 days of not riding is a long time for me. I have no motivation. My mojo gone. Am taking this time to reflect and look into the future. Some days I feel ok, other days I feel Ike the future is in the pit and other days am willing to climb up look down or up and find that, that am really looking for. I know it will not happen if I let me get drained in the emotions. I have chosen to feel the feelings and keep going. If you are in a similar space and feeling like me, know that it’s a passing cloud and we gonna get on the other side celebrating and saying, that was another lesson in our lives. Keep calm. Sending you love, hugs and kisses. #notetoself

Message to the HJC Helmets. The only time we wear our helmets with out chest open (read, zip open,) is to let the cool air in on a hot ride. Location indicated. Am really hoping your geography is not as pathetic as your adverts. That said, I am wearing BiLT helmet from @cyclegear and Olympia Airglide jacket from @olympiamotosports purchased from @bobsbmwmoto . . . . . #weridesafe #wearenotyoursexybaits #respectwomen #respectwomenbikers #sherides #herstory #saferising #helmetsarenotvails #hjcfails #hjchelmets

RIDING GEAR Am working on an article reviewing my riding gear. I purchased my whole gear abroad because of the limited options in Kenya. Kenya is tropical weather and so the gear you find locally is for that kind of weather. I however wanted something that will work well in a bigger rage of temperatures and weather. Also for long, rough rides. Something durable. We will not ride in winter and so this gear does not cater for that at all but it served me well in Namibia and South Africa winter which is very cold by our standards. What are your MUST haves on your riding gear? . . . . . #ridinggears #olympiaridinggear #bilthelmets #motorcyclegear #cyclegear #kenya #travel #adventure #bikelife #bikepacking #bmwf700gs #motorrad #bmwmotorrad #makelifearide #theuntoldstoryofkenya #kenyanswhotravel
