  • In this video, I am back in Malawi, after spending several weeks in Madagascar, and I am reunited with my motorcycle "Alaska", a Honda CRF300 Rally! It's time to start exploring Malawi, and there is only one logical place to go: Lake Malawi!

      I assume that the alternative would be to use camper type vehicles and to take or import the food items you need with you. That wouldn't fit together well with her lonely biker tour.
      The comment can also be interpreted as giving priority to the locally owned businesses, local capital, compared to foreign or international companies.

    I immediately felt bad for myself and for many other Ethiopians who were watching her when I learned that she will not cover Ethiopia. Her videos really intrigue me, and since I'm a geologist, I can understand her well-informed remarks on various geological aspects. and I think her professional videography might have done honor to Ethiopia's breathtaking landscapes and abundant geological treasures. I'm hoping for brighter times ahead and that you'll come see my nation.

    I think Honda owes you a lifetime of free motorcycles and maintenance worldwide. There has never been better commercial promotion of a motorcycle since you started riding your Hondas. The only other one that comes to mind I’d “ the long way around” with Charly Boorman and the Scottish actor Ewan McGregor, and they had a slew of backup following them for technical support of their BMW GS bikes. Alaska is nowhere near that needy😎

I call this channel my weekly tonic, and feel so lucky that living in Australia how lucky we are to have food, water, power all in abundance along with a roof over our heads. Life’s contrasts just because of where we were born, some of the many villages you visited, people living a very hard life, but noting how happy they are even without many possessions we all think we need.
