In April 2017 I left Australia for a solo 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.c...
None of that would be possible without my official sponsors:

Epic drone footage on this one ,Kinga!
Thank you 😊
the real biker touring , not a spoil one .
sleeping in a tent , cook her own meal , blend in with the nature .
keep them coming , stay safe and healthy .
Thank you 🙌
So happy to see Skippers Canyon road from a Bikers point of view, last on that road was white water rafting down the shotover river ! The most exciting part was the minibus ride to get there, driven by a barefooted newzealander and towing a trailer what a road, well done and I like marmite with peanut butter also 👌
You have some serious guts, riding that road. OK, at least you aren't in a car...
It is not just one of the scariest, it is still ranked the scariest and most dangerous in New Zealand. In fact, rental companies used to forbid you from driving on it and most insurances didn't cover your vehicle on Skippers Road.
It was built for the gold rush and it's crazy to imagine all the wagons coming in and out of there with gold a way back then.
There is a video on my channel of Queenstown and Wakatipu region from 1954 (a tourist promotion video) and they show Skippers and discuss it a little.
If you are in NZ for much longer and have the chance... I recommend Dansey's Pass (make sure to stop in at St Bathans too) and the Hakataramea roads.
Thanks for this vid absolutely epic!!
Beautiful landscape. Thanks for taking us there. You have to be fearless on those narrow tracks with oncoming cars along the narrow ridge. Happy rides, Günter/Nürnberg
I'm glad you enjoyed it😊
Great video thank you very well done as always thanks for taking us along cheers to ya.
Awesome ride, thanks for sharing 😊
Hey kinga, just want to say what a great channel your RUclips is. I must admit I've only just started watching this week after seeing you on "off she goes" I've binged all the New Zealand eps now though and can't wait for the next. I love your sense of humour and your love for the road and adventure. Well anyway you stay safe keep up the great work and all the best for the future, I look forward to the next ep. Until then I will watch some of your older adventures. ✊🏻
A crazy beautiful landscape! 🤩 And that panting noise and the poop may have been a beast as exotic as:
A sheep! 🤗🤭
Sheep do lots of little round black poo.
@@kiwiingenuity1677 Sheep with diarrhoea too? 🤔
Lots of rabbits in that sort of country everywhere in NZ.
Kiore is the NZ mouse, the sniffing was a Hare (seen one as big as a dog once!) and the screeching was a Possum! My fav is marmite and a fresh leaf of crisp juicy cabbage, "Heaven" 🤠
I agree with my fellow Kiwi here except for the last sentence. Vegemite on toasted Vogel's, that's my answer to "if you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life".
Yes! That had to be possum!
@onherbike we also have ferrets stoats/weasels. They love eating eggs and killing birds.
Thanks for sharing this place.
So nice for the touch of the heart ❤️ of the country. Thank you kinda
You're one hell of a great rider! I enjoy your channel 😊
Awesome..I bungy jumped off the Skippers bridge back in about 1987, it was the highest bungy in NZ at the time.
Great video Kinga drone footage perfect and your camping culinary skills are adventurous 😊😊
Thank you 😊
Your videos are getting better and better, very beautiful road and very beautiful landscapes, and a good soup too, thank you for sharing, have a good trip Kinga 👍✌✌
Beautiful wish I was there riding...
What a crazy cool, scary ride. Thanks for taking us along.
Your hair looks great!
Safe travels. ❤
Thank you 😊
WOW !!!!! What beautiful scenery-----takes your breath away !!!! The beauty part, is that it is unmolested by man and just has been left alone in all its splendor!! New Zealand is so pristine and has lots to offer for the adventurous kind!! Thank you for the great video---keep them coming and stay vigilant !!!!!!!!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
It is utterly molested by man. That township and the whole valley, the road, the bridge... was the site of New Zealand's biggest goldrush. Before that, it would have been even more pristine.
@@FoxdaleTravels That's sad----people just can not leave things alone !!!!!!! Thanks for the info----stay safe and aware of your surroundings !!!!!!
@@onherbike I enjoy them all !!!!!! Stay vigilant and be safe------take care!!!!
KINGA YOU ARE A LEGEND💜🇳🇦
Thank you 🙌
Nicely done! Congrats on a great ride, Kinga!
4:52 - widoki trochę jak z aquaparku w Zakopanem :)
Two thumb s up from this kiwi boy. Rabbit poop and hedgehog sniffing noise at night perhaps, definitely those dreaded sandflys/mosketos buzzing around the camera lense.
Fair play Kinga
It took some nerve to ride them mountain roads in skippers Canyon.I had a similar experience in Carjarc France.Brown rice is rocket fuel I live on it
What a beautiful and peaceful country😊
Thanx for sharing
Did you know the Shotover river that run's thru the Skippers Canyon was till recently was the richest gold bearing river in the world, so there were hundreds of miners working in there. Really enjoying your videos. .
Thank you 😊
Great episode Kinga! Very informatve and interesting, and more than a little bit scary!
Really enjoyed this. Beautiful. Respect
Good on ya Kingaaaa love your spirit and attitude 😮🙏👌🆗
Great drone work Kinga. And what a road! I am jealous. Keep safe.
Thank you 😊
Very cool place to ride Kinga! Thanks for the sights! 👍👍
Thanks for watching 😊
wow, Skippers Canyon - I had been there in 1991 and did my first Bungy Jump - At these days one of the highest in the world - 74m freefall into the Canyon (in Winter time) with A.J. Hacket
Great ride....love the camp site. Garth
Great - I've ridden it too 😀 Pretty scary. Bob (from UK)
Superbe reportage ! 😉✌
What a great ride.
Very cool video beautiful country ride safe
Olá 👋 adorável viagem. Sobre BRADONA, linda iniciativa para uma ação tão nobre 🙏
🇧🇷 Até ➕ 😘
The heavy breather is a hedgehog. They're about the size of a bowling ball
An indoor bowls bowling ball not ten pin
"Yummy, yummy in my tummy..." I love that!
The small round dung is from rabbits/hares
The noises in the night might have been a possum.
Beautyfull views😂😂❤
Marmite and peanut butter, together, is just wrong, on so many level 😂
Love it, with a sprinkling of ground black pepper. Maybe with a slice of cucumber on top if I have some.
Like Ketchup on icecream.
Maybe fish and hermetic peaches.
Perhaps steak and Shortcake? Jummy.
Thank goodness we all have different tastes and can explore each other’s preferences, and of course many chefs would have a rather boring life if they didn’t take advantage of this.
I'll try that!
Go on, you know you want it😁
Great one Kinga, looking for a pair ? 😉🤔👌🏼💪🏼👍🏼👊🏼🤩
Ease up girl! I’m from the Queenstown area and an assure you the Skippers Road is far from being the most dangerous road in New Zealand. Hyperbole might get views but it’s wrong to lie about our roads!
انتي رائعه جدا
استمري إلى الامام 🌹
So adventurous mam ia in Calcutta
You got new subscriber
The deep breathing at night was probably that bloke the police were looking for, apparently he was hiding in skipper’s canyon.😊😊
Queenstown, very nice if you can afford to live there.
too bad if you have 2 car's opposing each other-that wouldn't be fun having to back up on that winding road with steep drop off's-just as well you on a motorbike. I've done the skippers road by tourist bus but never on my motorbike. You beat me to it. Might have to wait till the summer school holiday's when I'm off. It was certainly on my bucket list.
The creature that was breathing heavily outside your tent must've been a juvenile taniwha.
Yeah Right! Taniwha - water spirit, monster, dangerous water ceature. chief, powerful leader, something or someone awesome. Taniwha take many forms from logs to reptiles and whales and often live in lakes, rivers or the sea . They are often regarded as guardians by the people who live in their territory but may also have a malign influence on human beings. (Te Aka Maori dictionalry)
Queenstown beautiful 😇
Well I’m a kiwi and I’ve never heard of mixing marmite and peanut butter together,a strange combination but I will give it a try 😂
That road is not for the faint hearted,had to pass another car on that huge drop 🥵scary.
Wonderful episode Thank You for sharing ✨🫡
You have to try it! It's my favorite breakfast now😊
Whenever you want to visit Saudi Arabia, visit it in the winter. Believe me, you will like Saudi Arabia and its generous and hospitable people.
Kinga, do u do ur own maintenance on the bike? or just the small stuff. I'm a mechanic and have several bikes. Thanks for sharing ur lifestyle with us all. 💞
I'm capable of doing basic servicing , tire change and TLC😊
Why are all the trees dead?
💪👍
Nothing very dangerous about this road unless you do something stupid. Its a fantastic ride and well worth doing. I have done it to the end and camped out on a road bike twice. Most dangerous part is the traffic on a very narrow in places gravel road. My advice is leave after the tourist buses are finished for the day and get back out in the morning before it starts again.
thật tuyệt ❤❤
đó là phân của những con nai dê. hoặc thỏ. đại loại phân của chúng giống nhau. chúc bạn may mắn
The Trees, are they dead?
They're a pine tree, an introduced species. Pine trees love new zealand they seed everywhere and take over from the native trees. They have been sprayed to stop them
@@mofm1639 Thx 4 info
Why so many dead trees there ?
It;s actually nicer if you sprinkle some Milo over your Marmite and peanut butter sandwich .... I don't know, it kind of adds a bit more earthiness to it all.
Milo+Marmite+ peanut butter? Omg I have to try this😆🎉 thank you!
👍👍👍
Wild goat poo,you were looking at
Really?! Thank you!
Ok 👏🌹☕
😮
Ferg burgers 🍔
Hi Kinga. Hope you are well. Your sound while wearing your helmet is very bad. Many times we don't hear a word you say. Is that something you can fix? Just asking. Enjoy your NZ trip 😂😂
❤❤❤🇹🇷
I want to Know..... how does it feel having to drive on the wrong side of the road , ?.
For me it's normal, Iived in Australia for 12 years 😊
that fly is following you, maybe she is trying to tell you get a shower? :)
Those droppings were from very young Bigfoot, not very dangerous at that age … 😅😅😅
❤❤🇹🇷 🇹🇷 🇹🇷 🇹🇷 🇹🇷 🇹🇷 🇹🇷 🇹🇷 🇹🇷 🇹🇷
Heh. A mate and I rode our 360 road bikes through Skippers 45 years ago. At 80MPH. In the dark. This should prove that there is a God who preserves undeserving fools....
❤❤🇹🇷🧿👍
Good Morning. yesterday i see you meet runa , off she goes. i like many adventure video. wonderfull woman. strong woman. beauty woman thanks many nice video. this moment wonderfull Bra paradise . lol.
Humans are very strange creatures…..👽
Marmite and raw peanuts, the only way.
Hedgehogs can be very noisy at night SNUFFLING about sniffing for juicy tidbits like slugs & snails and any crumbs from peanut butter and marmite rolls. The Skippers Canyon Road is not so bad at all in good weather, as long as you go with the flow - Down in the morning and up & out in the arfo.
- Luckily you didn't meet any of the ravenous Otago Dredge Toe-Nail Vampire Bats that are a small flying ratlike that creeps into your sleep area on moonlit nights and devours lonely tourists starting from the toes upwards ..
😂😂😅😅😊😊
Sounds like a possum.
Yep, possums are heavy breathers!
They would try to get at our food when we were fly camping.
It looks like deer poop to me.
Kinguś ja bym się obesrał po pachy jak miał bym tam spac sam w namiocie !!!!! TY WARJATKO!!!!
What are you doing eating that dreadful muck, marmite, Kinga? Vegemite is MUCH better. 🙂
Vegemite hasn't come up with this special mix with peanut butter in one jar. You should try it, it's delicious 😋
BS, what's dangerous about it. I drove my panel van and did a bungy jump off the bridge. You're just sensationalising for more views.
Honey and vegemites better
Too sweet.
The creature that was breathing heavily outside your tent must've been a juvenile taniwha.
