Got2Go - 90.000 Kilometers AROUND THE WORLD on a motorcycle SOLO

- 18 months, 50 countries, 90.000 kilometers - how I rode around the world on a motorcycle solo as a female traveler and what I learned along the way.
This video is for everyone who wants to see some parts of my journey around the world - but the highlights and the most memorable and intimate encounters - the lows and highs of my trip - you will only find in my book.
// It would mean the world to me if you support my journey by buying my book - and please leave a good review on Amazon, so it will be suggested to other people as well!
// Order the paperback book on Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B095556HPG
// Order the ebook for kindle: www.amazon.com/dp/B092MYKGLF
// Or access the book over the Amazon page of your country by searching for "Got2Go" "Lea Rieck"
// Your family. Your friends. Your job. Your language. Your life, as you know it. Imagine you leave all of this behind, and just go on a ride around the world. 18 months, 50 countries, 90.000 kilometers of adventure.
In my travelogue I tell a story of falling and getting up again, of courage and serenity, faith in oneself and other people, empathy, hope and determination. About setting out - but not to learn to fear the world, but to find adventure, friendship and love.
The moment that changes everything can come at any time. For me it's a normal Monday morning in the office when I saw a colleague watering a plant with Evian mineral water. I quit my job, left my comfort zone and set off on a trip around the world.
Just my motorcycle Cleo and me, all alone.
But what do you do when there's a military coup right in front of your window? If your lover turns out to be a Russian sniper? Or if you burn your eyes in the highest altitude desert of the world? You learn your lesson and move on.
The journey takes me past 8,000-meter-high mountains in Pakistan, through temples in India, to the safe shores of Australia, into the driest desert in the world in Chile and Bolivia - and in the end back to Germany. Breathlessly, I let my intuition and instincts guide me, experienced the highs and lows of traveling alone. I begans to see the world from a different angle, and discovered life in all its different facets and forms.

The most powerful lessons I have taken from watching similar wonderful videos such as yours Lea, is that it is our governments that tell us how bad other countries are. People are the same all over the world and the most generous are those with the least. Thank you, your story is enchanting.
So true! The most generous and often the happiest.
You are absolutely right. I have felt this way for a long time
Omg I agreeee
100 percent correct !
She still skiped the middle east for a reason...
It's too bad we were not able to see the world trip on video as you are doing now, but everyone has the opportunity to experience it in your book. I read Elspeth Beard's book who was the first woman to traverse the world on a motorcycle back in the 80s. She basically did the same trip as your video shows here, but without GPS, cell phone, or even a good map. Not to downplay your courageous adventure in any way, it is an incredible feat. One day when you are old and grey, you will be sitting in a rocking chair, and these images will be on the shelf and on the wall, showing you as a young woman, doing these amazing things. That is called a truly successful life.
Yes I am full of admiration for her. The first trip that I did when I made my motorcycle license was from Munich to Istanbul - and I had no gps and no working mobile phone either, just paper maps. I can’t even imagine anymore how I survived this trip 😂😂😂
“Maybe because his drills skill is so amazing” 🤣
I laughed. But super cool video though.
It's all DIY lol
damn, you beat me to the comments
Most men want to drill every day .Some guys are expert in drilling ....while some are destined to using a hand drill ..Personally I like to screw .Screwing is far better than nailing .Not one nail in my patio.
Definitely the quote of the video :)
Such an amazing journey Lea! The world and it’s people are certainly unique and beautiful in many ways. Thank you for this wonderful documentary! Ride safe!
It was very inspiring. Happy to see that people are very kind all over the world. Travel safe and stay healthy. Lots of love from INDIA!!!
Best documentary I watched so far, truly nice job, you deserve my salute.
Thank you! 😊
Wooooooow!! I didn't want this mesmerizing adventure and the video to cease. Proud of you Lea and may you have many more such safe, pleasant, memorable, soul searching, and enlightening travels.
OMG! Such an experience that must have been.
Your book have been ordered. Having followed you and a few other travellers, I’ve learned a lot about the people around the world. How much kindness there are between humans. Countries I used to categorise as dangerous, now seem like just as friendly as everywhere else. Travelling like this doesn’t seem dangerous anymore. Thank you! :)
I am very happy that you experienced so many parts of the world - and that it changed your perception of many countries. There are always so many friendly and awesome people living everywhere.
Thank you so so much for supporting me with buying the book - and always being such an active part of this CZcams community. Let me know how you will like the book!
You have made a dream come true. Imagine seeing a big part of our world. Travelling alone. It makes me jealous. The best part is that you are sharing your jouney with all of us and makes us a part of it. Thank you so much for sharing. Best regards from Denmark
Thank you so much for this nice comment - and for joining this trip here virtually!
Truly inspiring! Such a beautiful journey and such beautiful places! Dreams may and must come true!
Thanks for your latest production, Lea; I'm enjoying all your videos. Have just bought the book and can't wait to start it tonight!
Thank you so much for supporting me - it means a lot to me!!!
You are the most courageous Lady i have seen ever in my life. Big salute to you. Lots of Love from India ❤️
Congrats for your achivement in such a short time !! I wish luck for your future trips!! Keep safe !!
This is absolutely amazing! It must have been really hard for you to show this trip in just this episode. It was amazing but I think I missed a lot. But I think you are one of the bravest people I ever seen!
Thank you so much! Yes, i unfortunately don’t have much video Material of this Trip - but that’s why there is a book! 😊
The book ordered already can't wait.... Nice video 👍👍
Beautifully produced Video! Thank you for sharing your Journey!
I had not realized you had written a book nor done an around the world 90K trip, you continue to inspire me for more and greater things to come from you. I will get a copy of your book and read it with such an envious mindset, knowing it’s something I now will never be able to do, but can live vicariously through your adventures all the more.
Thank you so much! I did the worldtrip long before I had this channel here on CZcams - but documented it very much on Instagram (that’s why I have about 20.000 pictures from the trip but not much video material...). I hope you enjoy the book!
Very nice your story and your video, with all the 90,000 km of experiences traveled, the places, the people, the climates, the problems and the wonders, what brutal trips. One billion congratulations.
Again Thanks Lea.
Greetings from Argentina.
Wow Lea,
Utterly brilliant 23 minutes of video, I cannot wait to read your book, my dream would be a in person signing of your book
Thank you for sharing your experiences through your book and these video's you are an extraordinary human being
Thank you so much guys for your nice words!!!
That was unreal!
Awesome experience!!
Congrats for the adventure.
Travel safe and enjoy the life!
Cheers!
I haven't watched a nicer and more inspiring video for a long time. I am simply impressed by your courage and enthusiasm.I love people like you.Greetings! 😊
You accomplished the dream ride. Most of us just think and dream about doing something epic like this. While we were dreaming about it,, you actually did it. Well done.
This is beautifully shot and produced! Thank you!
Thank you!
Great video as always....just ordered my book and can hardly wait for it to arrive. Thank you for sharing your experiences with all of us. Cheers!
Thank you so much for your support!
Amazing Lea ! It's a great pleasure to follow your trips. Respect for what you have achieved !
Thank you!
Inspiring, Lea! Not seen such a great long-trip video since this American 70+ guy on his last long trips to Alaska and elsewhere. You have plenty more to offer, look forward to it!
Another amazing video series of spectacular,adventurous women riding a motorcycle & giving us all an insight into their journeys.
Thank you so much!
Gratuliere Lea, ist einfach hammer👍und RESPEKT RESPEKT🤩
Excellent video and teaser for your book. Compelled me to buy it. Looking forward to the rest of the story!
What a fantastic video! Thank you Lea for the continuous inspiration and motivation you transmit on your videos for everyone to get out there and enjoy our world as much as we can, either by motorcycle or any other form of transportation! You're truly awesome and finally I can't wait to get my copy of the English version. Keep it up, you're doing great!! 💖👍
Thank you so much for your support - I hope you will enjoy the read!!!
@@Got2Go I'm loving it, although today I felt sad for you after reading Igor's revelation and his stupid proposal but I'm sure more exciting things are coming ahead!! 💖
What a beautiful video Lea. I can't wait to read the book.
Hello Lia, your book has arrived with me, cover is superb, so simple but tells us a lot, have not started to read yet as once started I will not do anything else, I will have to set myself a time to read and only a chapter or two so I can savour every moment. D xx
So Kinga..... is the book half written now?
Thank you so much! I hope you will enjoy it! And Kinga will get a book very soon too! 😊
Hay hi am your subscriber
Kinga i am a great fan of your on her book
Great video Lea...a wonderful compilation of an amazing journey! Looking forward to reading the book, im sure it will be a great read. Great stuff!! Cheers, Steve
Thank you so much for your support always Stephen!
Great video Lea and an excellent teaser for your book which I am looking forward to reading. It's been great watching your channel grow and watching your explore the world. Looking forward to the next episodes in your life. Ride safe 👍🇬🇧
Thank you so much for these encouraging words! I hope you as well join all the future journeys!
Awesome editing and the background music is mind-blowing!
It's really fantastic, Big Respect and thanks for every video and your adventures around the world🙏👍 And now you've put the Crown with the book on it all ✅ Great!
Greetings 👍 🏍
Thank you so much!
Incredible personal perseverance and what an amazing experience you are now sharing. Thank you!
A brilliant Video Lea, and , what an amazing adventure, I look forward to reading the missing content, well done 👏
Hey Lea, That was fantastic to watch... Yet again.
My paperback version is ordered. Cant wait to read it. Hopefully the few Euros you make per copy allows you to continue making your amazing vlogs, and worldly travels. Regards , Alex.
I hope one day I can make a journey like that, it's one of my dreams. Its amazing to see all the adversities you overcame. And after less than 2 years with a license being able to do this trip is amazing, I admire you, I do.
An amazing journey! You are an inspiration! I'm showing your video to my daughters. Hopefully they will grow up to dream big and to be as courageous as you are!
Hi Lea. I just watched this episode and bought your book. I'm really looking forward to reading it. I have only seen your recent journeys across the US and now in Europe but think your videos are captivating. You are very brave.
It was worth the watch! Kudos to you for having completed a solo journey around the world spanning 90k kms. You inspire 🙌🏻
Thank you!
Dein Bericht hat mich zu Tränen gerührt. Ich fahre schon seit fast 40 Jahren Zweiräder und habe auch auf anderen Kontinenten getourt aber zu einer einzigen Weltreise habe ich es nicht gebracht. Respekt! Jetzt fühle ich mich zu alt für die Strapazen. PS Ich fahre sogar die gleiche Maschine wie du und die hat schon 90.000 auf'm Tacho.
Oh wie schön, eine Schwester von meiner Cleo! Ein tolles Motorrad. Zum Glück muss man ja auch nicht einmal um die Welt um ein tolles Motorrad Abenteuer zu erleben!
Wonderful Lea, you really had an amazing experiance that probably changed your life. I will buy your book to know more about it. Thank you for sharing this adventure and the perfect video
Thank you for joining this journey and supporting me!
Well done for the video editing, I'm quite impressed.
Beautiful images and scenery, well done.
You deserve more viewers.
I got so emotional watching 22 minutes of your 17-month journey. Wondering the rush of emotions and experiences you would've got. Totally loved it.
Jeeezuschrist, you are one amazing woman! I get shivers up and down my body just listening to your intro. My heart feels wild and free. (Ich werde mir das Buch gleich kaufen.)
If you are a German reader you can as well find it as “sag dem Abenteuer ich komme”. The German version of course is a little bit better as it is the Orginal one 🤗
Lea, beautiful video, beautiful story ... I loved it ... congratulations on everything you did! Thanks for sharing !!!!
Thank you for traveling with me!
Loved the video. Fantastic scenery but what I admired the most is your courage. To take on this journey all by your self is to me extraodinary.
Just one word to express " INSPIRING ". I wish one fine a day I'll travel around the world with my motorbike. Love from India ❤
Wonderful editing!!! I would watch a longer version of this, but I’d also like to read your book. Looking forward to picking up a copy for myself! I recently started riding a Tiger 900 Rally Pro and hope to soon begin documenting my own travels. Ride on safely!!!
Oh that’s a great bike - I think it improved a lot from the tiger 800 that I drove.
Exactly - read the book to get to know lore about this trip! I as well don’t have any more videos than these - I didn’t film a lot back those days...
Great choice on the Tiger 900 Rally Pro! Looking forward to watching it!
Cheers!
I'm so happy, I stubbled on your channel! I watched all your videos from the being till now. I wish, one day too be able to do something like this! The stories and people you meet will forever be unique! I'm definitely buying your book! Keep doing what you're doing! - From Canada with Love!
Thank you so much for your support! I am sure you will be able to go in your own trip one day!
Look forward to reading your book! What a journey you are so brave.
Wonderful, I always have this dream of doing a solo ride too. Greatly inspired
Surprise, what a life. Have only followed for a short time, but with this summary, we can only lift the hat. Respect.
Is this the only video from the long journey.
Unfortunately yes. That’s all the videos that I took on that trip - I have about 20.000 pictures, but not many videos
Beautiful journey Lea. Not everyone can do wat you do but at least we had the opportunity to see it through your eyes. Ride safe and let your adventures never stop. Ride safe always.
Thats probably the best moto travel video I've seen on youtube. Amazing job and thanks for sharing with us
Thank you so much!
Greetings from Canada :)
At first, I was like how "how do you manage to do 90,000km going around the world". Then watched the whole thing, and it all makes sense... what a trip!!
Meeting the people is amazing
Salute from India
I can’t wait to read your book!
What a beautiful journey you had !! It's an inspiration for riders !! Thanks for sharing !
Wonderful production. I was rendered helpless and had to buy your book 😍
Thank you for your support. Let me know if you like it - it’s a very personal one!
It needs guts of steel to accomplish this feat. You are extraordinary.
Great vídeo!! Congratulations!! It was an anazing challenge. Got to read your book!! Good rides 🇧🇷
Short, informative and beautifully edited. I have taken notes and subscribed. Best wishes.
I just finished reading your book. Once I started I couldn’t stop so finished it in a day.
Loved every page. It reminded be of “Motorcycle diaries” only much better to read.
Oh ... amazon would NOT let me leave a review on the book as I hadn’t spent enough money with them in the last 12 months! I wanted to leave 5 stars.
Woah that’s mean! I am super happy though that you liked it! Means a lot to me that you guys enjoy the read!
A German girl, from Munich, traveling around a world on motorcycle. What is the most surprising here? She rode a Triumpf! Not BMW:) Unbelievable:)
Tigers attract people who roar! The roar transcends borders.
I personally wouldn't have set off with a Triumph bike, I wonder how many issues she's had with it..
@@Grateful4Today I haven't been around the world but I have over 125,000km on the three Tigers that I have owned and I have never had a major issue with any of them!
What a lovely video and you did it on a Triumph ! Well done for what you achieved and thank you for the brief view.
You have the privilege of being called a child of the planet earth. Undoubtedly, you have earned it after the creation of such an incredible memory album full of awesome scenery, acquaintance with different cultures, and vibe experiences from the globe. As it seems, there is still a lot to see and enjoy, further enriching your already rich collection of experiences....As for us the simple watchers, thanks for sharing it all. A copy of your book will be added to my library shortly,
Fascinante resumen. ME ENCANTA.
Traduce tu libro al español, por favor….😉
What a journey!! The best video on CZcams
Very nice footage and your bravery to go on your personal journey is awesome!
Thanks for the share.
Greetings from Peru.
4:25 We can only grow if We try things even if we don't master them yet.
"Thank you for this sentence" Lea
Congrats to your new book. I ordered it immediately. I'm impressed you really kicked this off and did what was meant for you to do. In the Karakoram I expected you to climb the K2 but maybe next time?
Maybe next time! 😂
But there is one of my favorite stories in the whole book that takes place in Pakistan close to K2. I hope you will like it! Let me know!!!
Simply amazing Lea !
Found this video a week ago, now I read your book. It's everything I needed.
I would watch this again on Netflix and a longer version too.
Thank you! Unfortunately I didn’t do many videos on this trip...
Habe den Buch schon bestellt!!!🤩
@@Got2Go which bike it is ??
On a solo motorcycle trip around the world you never be alone.
That’s very true! I always say: you are never alone if you don’t want to be alone (I had a quite lonely phase in South America because it just felt very good)
HI Lea. Greetings from Oz. What an awesome adventure. You certainly saw some amazing scenery. Thank you for taking us around the world !
Thank you for joining the adventure again!
Oh, wow! Oh, wow! Oh, wow! I cried during this entire video, it was so epic! And, yes, we've ordered you book! Can't wait to read it.
For us who want to do this type of journey but we don’t, it strikes the emotions very easily. Like we’re “lost” and have let ourselves down maybe? This video and the courage to do this journey is incredible....
Your travels are amazing but your ability to tell your story and carry us along with you is what is really special. Your cinematography and production is better than most television networks deliver. As an adventure rider, I dream of taking some of the journeys you have taken and I wish I could capture the memories as you have. Do you also do your own video editing? Keep the videos coming and I look forward to getting your book.
That’s great, thanks for supporting me and getting the book! I edit a lot myself but as well have some help of a super talented editor from the Philippines who works on many of my videos with me meanwhile as I don’t find the time to do the whole editing. (On this one I for example edited the whole beginning of the video and then I had no time to Finnish and he took over - and then I again do an edit in the end to be happy with the final version)
Es war wunderschön mit dir um die Welt zu reisen 🙏
Danke!
What a journey it was
even now I cannot imagine how many memories you've had!
No words!
Moving towards the end, you must be very emotional because such a wonderful journey comes to an end!
but seriously now whenever you would think about it,
you will be like: what were the days back then and just smile!!!
I want you to upload every clip of your journey that you recorded on that trip!
and also keep on traveling!
Amazing and inspirational 👏. Definitely a trip I plan to attempt once I no longer have current responsibilities. Gonna buy your book now as really excited to hear your stories .
Bonjour , quel courage de se lancer dans une telle Aventure !!! mais comment financer un tel voyage? je m'évade avec vous ... Merci et j'attends la suite de vos superbes vidéos...
The earth is stunning beautiful, with all kind of life on it.
Wunderschönes Video, in dem wahrscheinlich nur annähernd das wiedergegeben werden kann, was du alles erlebt hast - Erinnerungen die bleiben 😍
Bad Arse... Congrats. Thanks for inspiration. Fantastic video. Looking forward to the book.
great determination and courage after your first spill, we have all been there, not an if but definitely a when. Well done Lea, I'd be interested to know what trouble you got in to with the MC 1%er, as I was a full patch 1%er many years ago, I would have commended you for your trip and made sure that no trouble came your way if you had visited our chapter.
Женя Молодец !!! Настоящий русский мужик. Респект тебе.
Hello Lea, what a trip and learning life’s skills very quickly as well as upping your riding skill, such an adventure is beyond most and you did it all and our congratulations to you and for writing your book which of course I will purchase and indulge myself with your stories of trials and tribulations, what’s next we wonder , look forward to seeing you both again soon, stay safe, D xx
Thank you so much for your support. And: there will come new adventures up very soon (maybe I am already filming one at the moment...). Let me please know how you like the book! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wow!! I'm sold, one fantastic adventure and a lifetime full of memories, I wish I had an ounce of your courage and wanderlust
Thank you David!
Sounds like you had an amazing trip 😎 And yes you will find kind people everywhere in the world. Unfortunately a small minority spoil it for the rest of mankind 🙄
Take care and keep riding 👍
perfekt 👍👌 dein Leben ist großartig, mach so weiter, ich werde versuchen, im August nach Regensburg zu gehen, auf dich aufzupassen, Küsse Lea
Klingt gut! Danke!!! 🙏🏻😊
Ok 👌👍😏
Such a beautiful video with loving interaction with people around the world. Never cease to amaze me. U r living a dream.. my dream at least
Surprising amazing complement to your book 😍! Your videos and your book are captivating and together they show your thoughts, feelings, experiences, development, visuals! I'm really looking forward to read the English version, too!
Thank you so much Christoph. I would say that the German version is of course better though - because that’s my original words 😊
Fabulous video. Yes , you are a very courageous lady . A special person who has touched many lives , positively. It is a pity ' you tube ' did not promote your videos more .
Maybe now your viewing will shoot up to where it should be.
The very best of luck for your future. Thank you for sharing this amazing part of your life.
Thank you so much for this nice comment. I am very happy though with this amazing community here in CZcams!
Aha his drill skills were amazing...🤣
exactly what i was thinking...bwhahahaha
Lea. Thank you for the great short movie. So looking forward to the book. Take care. Stay Safe. Tschuss.
Thank you! Auf Wiedersehen, As we would say in Germany! 😊
Wow...just wow! I am definitely going to buy your book, since I have been smitten by your video and message it carries. I don't know what I have been waiting for all this time to travel on my motorcycle!
Me neither! Just pack up and Go! 😊💃🏻
