From Tajikistan to Kyrgyzstan: The Unexpected Detour
In the latest episode of my travel series, titled “I Got Stranded While Crossing into Kyrgyzstan,” I embark on an exhilarating journey that begins with the chaotic yet intriguing border crossing from Tajikistan. Navigating through the usual border shenanigans is just the tip of the iceberg as I plunge into the heart of Kyrgyzstan.
As I start my ride through this breathtaking landscape, I’m reminded that adventure often comes with its share of challenges. Despite a string of misfortunes from bad petrol, my last fuel stop spirals into an unexpected dilemmaâstranding me momentarily and testing my resilience as a traveler.
Join me as I share the highs and lows of motorcycle travel, the beauty of Kyrgyzstanâs rugged terrain, and the unpredictable nature of solo adventures. So pack your bags, rev up your engines, and letâs hit the road together!

Fact: Central Asian marmots were the reason of Black Death in 14 century.
What a contract of landscape of the two countries. Thank you Noraly for travelling and adventuring with us. Be safe as always. Much Love from Kenya đ°đȘđ°đȘ
SĂł falta Turismo no Brazil đ
you are amazing!
Yes bad fuel
đBrazil is missing only tourism.
Great fault recovery, well done Noraly đ
You need a quick drain on your carb and tank like small aircraft have. Water and debris sink to the bottom and come out the quick drain when you push the drain up
OMG PAVEMENT!!! feels like its been forever
I don't know if it's ever been mentioned before . We like the idea that you still use a paper map to draw where you are traveling that day. It really translate better with the viewer,
distances and location visually. Also want to mention , you are so skilled at how prepared you and (sometimes thing can be out of your control) to remedy a problem when it occurs.
The landscapes and waterways never disappoint . Our cousin who is an old school biker at the age of 78 loves your videos and book and has turned on his biker friends in upstate NY
to watch and subscribeđđ. And they haveđđ They have get togethers and watch. All the best my friend đđ from Jim and Harriet, Richmond, VA.
Resilience builds strength and Frankie is going strong.
Thanks for a fun episode. The last time I was in the Kygyz Republic, my translator and her mother tried to get me drunk on fermented mare's milk. It was all I could do to not spit it out, and I switched to vodka.
I really enjoy to watch your vedio i love it â€â€â€â€
Very interesting channel, stay safe in ur trips.
very smart girl … figured out the filter issue
I had an old Ford Festiva years ago that had a rusty gas tank, so I kept extra fuel filters and tools in the car. Once after a 20 mile mountain bike ride in the middle of nowhere on the way home on a back road I had to change it. I was so tired from the ride I always remember the moment.
I think you may have gotten some fermented goat pee instead of fuel. Frankie didn't like that.
Your truly a brilliant lady traveling in such wilderness regions having multiple possible issues, always facing them with dignity, courage and having all possible alternatives in one bike not possible. Yet you managed today with loosing items from broken bag and dirt fuel
At 25 min mark. Hoping it's just water in benzene.
The sky in this video was as blue as Frankie đđ I have a feeling your experiences in Tajikistan will stay with you for a long timeâUnbelievable landscapes and beautiful people. Thank you, Noraly â€

Hi Noraly. Like I commented before on a previous video, you need to carry high altitude jettings and needles for your high altitude riding. God Bless. H
