Itchy Boots crashed, she is hurt and her Africa trip is finished. She apparently broke her collar bone and maybe injured her foot, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbqQqh2nyJE

My daughter follows Itchy Boots closer than I do and she sent me this message last night: "Itchy Boots posted on Instagram 2 days ago that "my day begins in Karonga, where I'm embarking on a challenging 224 km loop before leaving Malawi.."

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #5 That was a previous episode. She left Malawi and was in Tanzania when the accident happened. Frank

Zitat von Duckbubbles im Beitrag #6Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #5 Well, I will admit that I am really confused regarding the timing of her videos. My daughter believes that they are posted a month or two after the dates of the actual events. My thought is maybe there is a couple of week delay in her videos. But why would that Instagram post be only two days old? Her adventures are very interesting, but the timing of her videos are a compete mystery to me.

In her ride through the US, Canada and Alaska I was concerned that she was getting very late in the season to be doing that trip on a bike, especially. The videos were being released in November. Turns out she reached the Arctic Ocean in August. She has said that she delays the release for her own protection so her whereabouts are known to only a few friends/family.

Zitat von Duckbubbles im Beitrag #8 and then there is the monetisation you don't want to release a new video if the last one is still getting clicks and therefore generating income as the new video will push the older one down the charts...

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #9Zitat von Duckbubbles im Beitrag #8 At present, she is releasing two videos a week- Sunday and Wednesday. She used to release three a week but doing it all herself proved a little too much with everything else going on. I think you are judging her unfairly without any particular knowledge. Yes, she makes money off of the videos. Frank

Here is the last Itchy Boots video of the season. She is not going on any more motorcycle adventures any time soon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8wgeEKVrWk

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #14 I had not seen her videos before this thread so it took me awhile to figure out Alaska was the name of her bike :)
