1. She’s an amazing woman. Bravery like we never see in this day and age.
   The exposure she provides to the average person in the nations she has traveled is priceless.

2. Forgive me, but I was instantly attracted to her personality. I’m now a subscriber. What did I learn from this? I’m ashamed to have called America’s highways “third world” … because the third world’s highways (the remote reaches of Mongolia) … are in far better condition than most of I 40 in the so-called First World USA.

   Hell! The Mongolian roads were so smooth, she could ride her motorcycle with one hand.

   1. “Hell! The Mongolian roads were so smooth, she could ride her motorcycle with one hand.”

      I noticed that too. The random herds of horses and musk oxen (?) beside the highway were odd…at least the goats had human minders, but the rest just seemed to be wild.

      1. Mongolia is one of the least densely populated countries in the world. They don’t need no stinking fences.

         1. Except! On the border with Afghanistan … they’ve erected a fence with razor wire atop it. To seal out the Taliban and the women in burkas. That’s what Tajikistan has done on the Afghan border. I saw it in another of her videos

            May I recommend America do the same all along their border with Chinada

3. I went to Mongolia on a photography trip about 7-8 yrs ago and went to the Eagle Festival where we stayed in the gers (yurts) and then drove west to the Altai mountains (yes, there was snow) but unlike her trip there were no highways–just roads, trails, and off road driving and crossing streams in the old Russian made vans we were in. The people were incredibly friendly but the countryside is very poor and sparsely populated. The weather is very harsh as she depicted. The animals she saw were yaks.

4. Hope she’s got her heated suit working. 28 to 35F on a bike, in the wind? It’s COLD out there, and I only ride down to Port Dover and back for a couple hours.

   Although, I do admit that Mongolian roads look a lot better than some of the side roads here in Haldimand County. ~:D

   1. You will be pleased to know Haldimand county roads are equally crappy for all. They have $$ for a DEI committee. Potholes? Maybe not so much. Priorities

      1. I note that they somehow found the money for a new arena in Cayuga, new country offices as well, and by some miracle they found money to pave every single gravel road that had been gravel forever. Even mine, a dead-end road that goes nowhere.

         But they can’t fix potholes? It’s amazing when you think of it.

         Even more amazing when the county came around and put up a new mailbox for me after they killed the old one with the snowplow. First time that’s ever happened, I’ll tell you. They’ve smacked my mailbox so many times over the years I put it on a swivel. This year they managed to take it out anyway, swivel and all. Put up the new one the very next day. Amazing.
