Itchy Boots

[FastST]

Keep in mind most of us have been watching her videos (thanks to kiltman) since she started. So re: the factual stuff you're preachin' to the choir. Weeks behind? Is there some significance to that? If she had a film crew the videos could be a little more timely but she doesn't. More than once she's mentioned she doesn't care for crowds of fans and doesn't want people to know where she is when she's there. She travels with some anonymity and likes it that way.




Like it or not? 99% of us here who watch like it though that may not be apparent. Most of us aren't trying to take away her talents and ambitions or throw shade of any kind. We appreciate her spirit of adventure and her lack of camera commercialism and pretentiousness that's seen in an huge number of moto-vlogs.

30 min videos. More or less. Maybe she remembers how Uncle Ralph would show up with 9 carousels of How I Spent My Summer Vacation slides that had the family praying for a quick and painless death compared to what they were experiencing. Or maybe over the years she's learned that too much of motoring down dirt roads or highways isn't a crowd pleaser. My guess is she also knows a lot of people don't have the time to devote to lengthy videos. Not every at bat gets one out of the park. I'm ok with that. She's on more than she's off.

She once showed us a peek at her editing as soon as she got settled. Her skills grew over time. She's showed us finding accommodations on the fly and more than once the first one fell through and she had to try on the fly. So I have no reason to assume she has some kind of behind the scenes support staff or even a person.

"Hello Internet." I find that innocuous. So it bugs somebody else. I'm ok with that. She doesn't know us. We're not her buddies. She's not Ms. Nancy. I'm tired of every presenter saying "Hi guys!' like was are buddies. It's not particularly personal and everybody says it. Her greeting isn't too common. I'm ok with that too.

I've only been to a few countries and I do like food. So I'm interested in what she's served. She doesn't share the meal with us and that's fine. That's not why I watch.

I like her videos and nothing about them gives me cause to make rank speculation. Everything I see tells me she's very much her own person doing what she wants and has found a way to pay for it. So no shade from me.

Point taken.
We all are different hence different views on things.

Most of it's pretty boring to me. I don't care about the food or even some of the sites she goes to.. but I do like to watch when some adversity hits and how she addresses it as I might learn something from that which would benefit my own riding experience.

Una Moto is kinda like the early days of IB, I think you can learn a lot from new riders that you forget after a while.

Occasionally.
She rarely mentions it, but i can imagine there can be some pretty rank vittles, to those of us like me that are accustomed to western cuisine.
Goats head soup, various animals' testicles, fermented fish... I'll pass, but the dishes she does show appear appetizing.
A cast iron stomach would work in one's favor, while dining in the lesser developed African villages she frequented last season.

Problem with cast iron it rusts , once upon a time I could eat like her.
