A new video is up on YouTube! We know its rough, but neither Erich nor I are tech savvy at all and we are having so much fun trying to learn these completely new skills! At very least, we are stoked to be able to share where we've been with our friends and family.

Start with fine curly hair
+ motorcycle helmet
+ camping all summer
+ no reliable running water on site

Final product = crazy rat nest hair.

Its straight and flat and greasy, but also somehow dry and brittle and knotted into one giant top-knot curl ball.

Not any more!

As soon as the wedding was over, we hit the road!

There's a lot to prepare for long distance travel, but we're 35 days out from our wedding so we have to focus our money on that for now. We have however received some generous gifts towards our wedding registry (all moto & camp gear😂) and we were able to start with these cool tank bags!

In the shop, building bikes and testing out my new wireless mic. I think it's gonna work!

Erich is pretty sure he is going to go with this 2003 KLR650. He bought a used bike knowing it would need a lot of work, but is excited to have a project to work on over the summer. This is the 3rd KLR650 he's owned and honestly his bike gets more attention than mine when we're out and about 💓

Putting my bike to the test and starting to learn some more advanced backroad skills. This was the most challenging riding I've done yet! More than anything, I'm proud of myself for keeping a positive attitude through it and being open to learning (and open to maybe not being able to do it).

Erich and I took a long time to research which would be the best starter bike for me. His top priority: safety and comfort. My top priority: has to look cool. I didn't know ANYTHING about motorcycles so the other details meant nothing to me. We chose the Himalayan 450. I Love it!

When Erich proposed, he also proposed leaving everything behind to motorcycle around the world. The answer had to be Yes, of course. I had never ridden a motorcycle, so the first step was to find out if I even wanted to.
