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: https://gogetfunding.com/arewethereyet/
None of that would be possible without my official sponsors:

💧There are also small private businesses offering bottled water refilling services in some places – "llenaderos de agua" (they use reverse osmosis systems). You just bring your own bottle and the refill it up

Another interesting episode, sorry your welcome included food poisoning, take care and get well
en la region andina de Venezuela Táchira, Mérida, Trujillo, vas a encontrar cientos de arboles de eucalipto, es mas la mayoría de las casas antiguas de esa zona, están construidas son esa madera, tal vez el olor en esas zonas se te haga familiar, es un olor muy peculiar de la zona, el olor de esas casas es olor a llegar a nuestras de los abuelos.
11:30 🍔US franchises in Venezuela have been in the country years before the current regime:
"
Seeing a familiar fast-food chain like McDonald's in an unexpected place like Mérida, Venezuela, can be a surprising experience for a tourist. Here is a summarized history of when major American fast-food franchises began operations in the country.
KFC: Late 1970s
· Entry: Kentucky Fried Chicken was the pioneer, arriving in Venezuela in the late 1970s, making it one of the first international fast-food franchises in the country.
Burger King: 1980
· Entry: Burger King set up its first restaurant in Venezuela in 1980.
Pizza Hut: 1982
· Entry: Pizza Hut joined the Venezuelan market in 1982, further establishing the presence of American fast-food chains.
McDonald's: August 31, 1985
· Entry: The first McDonald's in Venezuela opened in the El Rosal neighborhood of Caracas. The chain has since expanded to many other cities, including Mérida.
Wendy's: 1997
· Entry: Wendy's entered the Venezuelan market in 1997, with its first location in the Los Palos Grandes area of Caracas. (Note: Wendy's ceased operations in the country in 2021).
Church's Chicken: 2002

If you have any more questions about the history of other businesses in Venezuela, feel free to ask."
However, they have to compete with local businesses, f.e. people prefer local hamburgers than those of Mc Donald's.

Здравствуй Кинга!Замечательное видео!Жаль,что у них плохо с топливом.а у нас наоборот,например старые мотоциклы должны ездить на 80 бензине,их переделывают для 95,повышают степень сжатия,уменьшая камеру сгорания.С новыми мотоциклами такой проблемы нет,но они из Китая,и все детали из риса.А что это было утром-как буд-то военная подготовка!Приятных поездок и привет из России!У нас холодная весна.
Smiles wonderful you Kinga for safe passage through Argentina for your host for time too recharge pretty cool town yay for fair weather 😎 appreciate you're adventure for you and Chile to stay strong and healthy ❤🐸🌈🙏👍.
I was introduced to charcoal & probiotic acidophilus capsules that were "miracles" in treating the extreme case of food poisoning I experienced. Glad you are healed up!
Beautiful view Kinga, amazing road with those nice hairpins.
I think they were lovely to ride!!!!!
💪🏼👍🏼👊🏼👌🏼🤩
Your videos are amazing! I am learning English with you
Let the Venezuelan adventures continue.
I love the colorful homes and businesses. However, the early morning military chanting would drive me bonkers.
The hair looks good!
Safe travels, Kinga. ❤
Wenezula? Tacy przystojni mężczyźni i ziemniaki? Przeprowadzam się ❤❤❤❤
10:20 🛢Oil reserves of various countries at a human scale:
https://youtu.be/b-OjFqJQMHI?si=UY2CSvvIjRXSSm5Q
For Venezuela that is just proven reserves, they are part of in situ reserves: ~1.2 Trillion barrels, i.e. x 4 the proven ones
nice town crazy 😂
Watch what you eat—and that’s not the record-breaking ice cream shop!!!
They nice thing about Merida isn’t the city itself but the Paramo and its lakes
