Motorcycle Road Trips: Samar-Leyte Bridge
A while ago I had the pleasure of riding in the Philippines. I used two motorcycles: The Yamaha SZ 150 and the Kawasaki Dominar 400. I rode huge parts of the Pan-Philippine Highway. And with that, I crossed the awesome…
I almost gave up!! RoadTrip to Bacalar.
I am the kind of person that can go really low when things go wrong. I am a glass-half-empty kind of person. When the glass was full, I drank half of it, that was good (or not??) and now it…
Riding a motorcycle through Cancun
Riding a motorcycle in Mexican traffic is a great experience. More than in the Philippines traffic is organized here and people do seem to have a sense of how to behave and the capability of managing a car. We ride…
Let’s visit Francisco May in Mexico
We are on this epic road trip through Mexico, we call it: From Pueblo to Pueblo, simply because we ride roads that not many tourists travel. We love to explore, we love to meet the local people and discover the…
Day trip to the Maya Ruins of Ek’ Balam and Coba

Riding from Playa del Carmen to Cancun
All along the highway, the work for the Maya Train is starting. Replanting trees and road works. We drive from Centro Maya in Playa del Carmen, to the hotel zone in Cancun. We paid a visit to the motorcycle shop…
Is Cancun nice?
This blog contains a collection of videos of Cancun. It is not about the Hotel Zone, but the real Cancun, where your hotel staff lives. The streets, the shops, the houses. I walked, rode, and lived in those areas on…
Let’s ride to Valladolid, Mexico
From Cancun, Quintana Roo to Valladolid in Yucatan is a ride you can either do over the Cuota, the Mexican toll road. Or you can just wander off on the free highway ad take side roads through little sleepy villages.…
Digital Nomads are always on the beach
One of the many prejudices I encounter in my nomad life is that we guys (and girls) are always on the beach or on some mountaintop doing some awesome stuff. After all, we only have to work 4 hours a…
Single again and the final destination set
Just an update on my daily life. A lot is happening and I have been so busy lately. So I mainly worked on programming the blog, preparing for the road trip, and healing from heartbreak once again. Let’s do it…
The BMW Black Collection and SW Motech side carrier, does it fit?
Many people probably wonder, just like I have if the BMW Black collection fits on a Sw motech, slc side carrier. When we look at the BMW promotion video for the side bags, we get a glimpse of the click…
A race against time, Road Trip to Punta Allen
During my stay in the Philippines, I rode off-road because I had to. The road to my house for example was partially off-road. I did it without thinking and on the Kawasaki Dominar 400. Not really a good bike for…
A long unpaved riding at the age of 60 as a female
I see Mexican men at the gas station making fun of the way I look. It is before the ride to Punta Allen. A small village beyond Tulum, near the beach at the end of a peninsula. You can only…
The Hotel Zone in Tulum
It was kind of a surprise, and not a really pleasant one: Riding the Hotel Zone in Tulum. The hotel strip has a fuzzy way of being eco-friendly, with resorts and beach clubs with names like Tantra, Chica Dek, Mistico,…
