Happy Monday y’all! Hello from the Palace of Parliament in Bucharest, Romania! Just grand. The scale of this building is so big that I had to park wayyy on the other side of the street and set my tripod even further to capture the entirety of this building. This was completed in 1997 and took 13 years to construct. The building was designed and supervised by chief architect Anca Petrescu, with a team of approximately 700 architects. 700 architects! Isn’t that freaking insane?! That’s enough jobs for my professional network and all 6 degrees of their archi-friends! 🙀 Sometimes the facts about some of these monuments are as impressive as the structures themselves. Are there any buildings that just absolutely amaze you with some of their facts? Let’s tackle this week yall! 💪😼 #chasingcrystal #palaceofparliament #palaceofparliamentbucharest #buchareststyle #bucharestromania #romaniatravel #asianwomen #hondadualsport #dualsportlife (at Palace of the Parliament, Bucharest, Romania) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChlO7srP1o5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Always dreamed of riding my dirt bike threw Ocala National Forest. Well 55miles later, you can say not only did we ride it. We fucking sent it. I Shred the earth every which way I go. #ocalanationalforest #dualsport #dirtbike #hondadualsport #hondadirtbike #hondahatchback #motorcycle (at Ocala National Forest Rifle Range)

Hello from the Greek island of Crete! This is the first ferry Athena and I rode a ferry! We went from Gytheio to Kissamos on Crete! And I’m going to be real with y’all. I was miserable and this voyage put me out. I got nauseous and had to lie horizontal for 7 hours. I tried to nap, but woke up sweating because my body DID NOT like the rocking. I was on one of those huge ferries too. I was worried Athena was going to tip over and I expressed this to the folks manning the parking situation below and they kindly ratchet strapped her to the wall for me. This expedition is putting me in situations I’ve never been in and testing my physical limitations. Now I know my body doesn’t like long ferry rides. But this was worth it to me. I couldn’t visit Greece without visiting a Greek island, so this was worth the pain. And I surely wasn’t going to leave Athena behind! 😹 No pain, no glory. Happy Monday y’all! Let’s do this! #chasingcrystal #bikeswithoutlimits #bikekingz #motorsports #sidi #dainese #asianstyle #asianwomen #womenwhoride #dualsport #honda #dualsportbike #motorcycles #revit #europe #hondadualsport #motorcycletravel #mototrip #makelifearide #crete #creteisland #cretegreece #crête #crete🇬🇷 #cretelife #cretesecrets #chaniacrete #cretegreece🇬🇷 #greekislands🇬🇷 (at Crete) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfUChTZIlYi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m not smiling, I’m manically laughing inside. So my worldwide riding friend David that I met in Serbia, we randomly linked up in Athens! Remember, this is the same rider I asked to ride in the Balkan winter for 6 hours to see a waterfall in Serbia that was dry. Teehee, oops 🙃 So what did I do? I asked if he wanted to do a day trip in the cold with me again. It’s so funny, the most annoyed grumbling groan comes out of his body when he sees me. I think he intentionally avoids me sometimes. But hey, he can only say no 8 times in a row before he stops hiding behind the fridge. I can see you, David. I’m a persistent little critter. So here we are. Look how warmly dressed he is. It’s still not warm enough. The first photo is a catfish photo of my feelings, swipe to see my real face and how I feel riding in the cold. But hey, the views are worth it. Right? David? Where did you go? Year round riders. Honestly it’s miserable and suffering. I don’t know if we’re any tougher, but the wind calls and we’re nomads and movers. But the best things in life require you to push yourself past your limits and move out of your comfort zone. You got this 🙌 Chase your dreams. #chasingcrystal #bikeswithoutlimits #bikekingz #motorsports #asianstyle #asianwomen #bikerlife #motorcycles #motorcycletravel #instamoto #bikersofinstagram #womenwhoride #dualsport #honda #dualsportbike #motorcycles #revit #europe #hondadualsport #motorcycletravel #mototrip #makelifearide #greecelover #balkantravel #hondadominator #hondadominator250 #transalp #teamhonda #mototrips #mototour #mototourism (at Chalkída, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcN6kBWtjUl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In Greece, you can find me where land meets sea. I didn’t plan this day. I just meandered and let free flow take me. I followed the road to the dead end, got off my bike, let my curiosity take control and just started walking. I found myself all by myself at the very tippy tippy of this rocky barren peninsula. Just spectacular. I could feel the salty ocean spray sprinkle my face as the waves crashed against the rocks. Does anyone else meander and free flow? Sometimes planning is necessary in life, but the rest, we can just let go and flow freely. #chasingcrystal #bikeswithoutlimits #bikekingz #motorsports #sidi #dainese #asianstyle #asianwomen #bikerlife #motorcycles #motorcycletravel #instamoto #bikersofinstagram #womenwhoride #dualsport #honda #dualsportbike #motorcycles #hondadualsport #motorcycletravel #mototrip #makelifearide #greecetravel #greecelover #hellas #greecelovers #hellasgreece #hellas🇬🇷 #visitgreece🇬🇷 #visitgreeceguide #ridegreece (at Λαιμός Βουλιαγμένης) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbqC66lLYUF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Running into the weekend like… Are y’all doing anything fun this weekend? I hope you are. Remember to take care of your mind and body. You only get one. You work hard and deserve it. I’ll be slowing down a bit and trying to finish this book I’ve been carrying for 2 months. Lol Be good y’all #chasingcrystal #bikeswithoutlimits #bikekingz #motorsports #sidi #dainese #asianstyle #asianwomen #motorcyclephotography #bikerlife #motorcycles #motorcycletravel #instamoto #bikersofinstagram #womenwhoride #dualsport #honda #dualsportbike #motorcycles #revit #europe #hondadualsport #motorcycletravel #mototrip #makelifearide #wildwomen #wildwomenrising #wildwomenexpeditions (at Méthana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeEhzOqrzOf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Found these cherry blossoms in the mountains! Spring is upon us and I am so happy to see flowers blooming versus snow in the ground 😹 Do you have any flowers blooming I’m near you? 🌸 #chasingcrystal #bikeswithoutlimits #bikekingz #motorsports #sidi #dainese #asianstyle #asianwomen #motorcyclephotography #bikerlife #motorcycles #motorcycletravel #instamoto #bikersofinstagram #womenwhoride #dualsport #honda #dualsportbike #motorcycles #revit #europe #hondadualsport #motorcycletravel #mototrip #makelifearide #cherryblossomsafterwinter #cherryblossomseason (at Europe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcBBaONt4-K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Monday y’all! How was your weekend? You see that serpentine that takes you up to Mount Olympus? Yeah, I didn’t ride it. I was like…the higher I go, the colder it’ll be and it’s likely there’s snow on the road. Do you see how thickly coated that snowpack is? As much as I’m a hiker, love nature and Greek mythology, I was nahhh. I’ve accepted that I can’t see or do everything. And for my own sanity, I didn’t feel like freezing on Mount Olympus. Sometimes in life, even though we want to do something, it may not be the best thing for us. This is a moment for you to check if there’s anything you need to let go of in your life that just really isn’t the best for you. Chasing what’s best for us in life. #chasingcrystal #bikeswithoutlimits #bikekingz #motorsports #sidi #dainese #asianstyle #asianwomen #bikerlife #motorcycles #motorcycletravel #womenwhoride #dualsport #honda #dualsportbike #motorcycles #revit #europe #hondadualsport #motorcycletravel #mototrip #makelifearide #greece #greece🇬🇷 #greekmyth #mountolympus #mtolympus #visitgreece🇬🇷 #greecetravel #hondadominator #hondadominator250 (at Mount Olympus) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaP23LjLArj/?utm_medium=tumblr

And just like that, we made it to Greece! 👋 I am so excited to ride this country because of my love for Greek mythology as a kid. Anyone else a fan of Greek folklore? This was the strictest border crossing yet! I crossed at night so I was shivering, there was a long line, they required an entry Visa which I didn’t know about, so I filled it out on my phone with the spotty internet I had leftover from North Macedonia, and then I was reprimanded for not filling it out earlier, the agents thoroughly reviewed all my bike documents which made me very nervous. They even asked for the bike contract and had me unpack all my things to find this form (No one asked for this document in the 2 months of traveling so far). Once they saw it, they told me to get out of the way and pack all my things on the side of the road, so I wouldn’t hold up traffic. It’s times like these that make traveling alone hard because it’s just me navigating a new place with new rules, preventing all my things from blowing away in the dark, and panic repacking my things in the cold so I don’t get hit by a car. Even though most days are good, there are hard days to test your grit and power within. Chasing my superpower. #chasingcrystal #bikeswithoutlimits #bikekingz #motorsports #asianstyle #asianwomen #bikerlife #motorcycles #motorcycletravel #instamoto #bikersofinstagram #womenwhoride #dualsport #honda #dualsportbike #motorcycles #europe #hondadualsport #motorcycletravel #mototrip #makelifearide #greece #greece🇬🇷 #greecetravel #greecetrip #ridegreece #hondadominator #hondadominator250 #solotravel #solofemaletravel #solofemaletraveler #solofemaletravelers (at Thessaloníki) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZruNV6vMY9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Friday y’all! This is a reminder not to take life too seriously. Social media tends to only show the best parts of someone’s life and not the hiccups or mistakes they make. So I wanted to show you a little more beyond the perfect edited photo. You all know how often I drop my bike. Now here’s a picture of me dropping and eating grass trying to take this photo. Thank you rain and mud for humbling me. hahahaha Have a great weekend y’all! 😺 #chasingcrystal #bikeswithoutlimits #bikekingz #motorsports #sidi #dainese #asianstyle #asianwomen #motorcyclephotography #bikerlife #motorcycles #motorcycletravel #instamoto #womenwhoride #dualsport #honda #motorcycles #revit #europe #hondadualsport #motorcycletravel #mototrip #makelifearide #tripping #falling #scrubbing #stobi #northmacedonia #northmacedonia🇲🇰 #balkan #balkans (at Stobi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZkLOhWNOL0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Monday y’all! How was your weekend? I hope you got some good riding, self care and fun in. I know I did 😺 So I finally leave Skopje and am very excited to head to the ancient archaeological site of Stobi. But of course, it starts raining, lightly snowing and the wind is starting to pick up. My body just can’t tolerate the cold anymore. My fingers are numb, I’m soaking wet and I decide to pull over in the next town and get a room for the night. I sleep early, and try again for Stobi the next morning. Just because it takes a little longer to get to our end goal, it doesn’t diminish the effort it took to get there. I give you, the magnificent Roman theater of Stobi. #chasingcrystal #bikeswithoutlimits #bikekingz #motorsports #asianstyle #asianwomen #motorcycletravel #instamoto #bikersofinstagram #womenwhoride #dualsport #honda #dualsportbike #motorcycles #hondadualsport #motorcycletravel #mototrip #makelifearide #hondadominator #hondagirls #hondadominator250 #northmacedonia #northmacedonia🇲🇰 #skopje #skopjecity #stobiarchaeologicalsite #stobi #romanempire #archaeologicalsite (at Stobi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZZuXDcIToM/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Monday y’all! We are fully loaded and ready to go! How was your weekend? I honestly didn’t explore much in Niš because it was snowing and absolutely freezing. I hunkered down indoors and did a lot of reading and video editing. I have accepted that I can’t see or do everything even with the freedom of a motorcycle. There will be days where I see a ton of stuff and days where I’m just resting and recovering. Just because we can’t do everything we want in life, doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate the things we can do. Chasing acceptance. #chasingcrystal #bikeswithoutlimits #motorsports #dainese #asianstyle #asianwomen #motorcyclephotography #bikerlife #motorcycles #motorcycletravel #instamoto #bikersofinstagram #womenwhoride #dualsport #honda #dualsportbike #motorcycles #revit #europe #hondadualsport #motorcycletravel #mototrip #makelifearide #serbia #serbiatourism #niš #hondadominator #hondadominator250 #hondagirlssociety #hondagirls #hondagirlsdoitbetter (at Niš) https://www.instagram.com/chasing.crystal/p/CY1pyg9oI12/?utm_medium=tumblr

Have a meowy weekend y’all! 😺 Serbia, your street art is amazing. Totally worth riding in the rain and getting soaked for.
