Thanks to our moderator Tim Cullis for doing a good job taking some posts off here in this thread. To fall to such a low level to call persons who have said something positive about IB for «fanboys» is beyond mature behaviour…..
I think IB is great! Especially her filming and video editing skills are fantastic when you know she is completely alone filming and editing. And she has made 3 episodes of 20-30 minutes pr week for years! Thats a fantastic achivement!
I also like the fact that she rides more off the beaten track than 95 % of other travellers and I have met and seen. I also like the fact that she interact quite a bit with the locals and even seek out ethnical minorities and get to hear their stories and share them with her viewers. Not many travellers do that.
Also she got a profession (geology) that is at times very useful and she explains many an odd things from a geologist point of view. I find that very interesting and not many travellers has such a background….
I also think she is quite modest and unsolicited and not the type thats like «look at me how cool and adventorous I am» as quite a few other travellers seem to be at times…
Yes IB has gone a bit commercial. But then again she does what she does for a living now and have done so for years already. And as we all know travel with a motorbike around the globe is quite costly nowadays…and I actually envy her a bit that she can make money of the things she does. I think many travellers would like to do the same….
Live and let live
