About the creator

Charlie’s riding experience spans more than 30,000 kilometres across New Zealand and Australia, and now extends into the Americas. The journey is presented without a support crew or a fallback plan, with muddy tracks, border crossings and wild campsites forming part of the route. His KTM 790 Adventure S has been modified for long-distance travel. Recent episodes place the ride in Peru, including the Andes and the area around Machu Picchu, where changing road conditions and practical setbacks sit alongside striking landscapes. Rather than presenting travel as a polished itinerary, Charlie shares the road as it comes, including the challenges that shape each day.

What to expect

The films combine motorcycle travel vlogs with off-road riding, gear reviews and the everyday decisions of crossing a continent. Viewers can expect dusty tracks, slick roads, high-altitude routes and border crossings, as well as moments when navigation, the bike or the day’s plans become uncertain. The storytelling keeps those complications in view: a journey through Peru may move from an impressive canyon or Andean scenery to a mechanical concern or a difficult stretch of road. Across the series, the emphasis is on the experience of travelling by motorcycle rather than a frictionless account of the destination. It is a documentary-style record of one rider continuing south through the Americas, attentive to both the landscape and the practical realities of getting through it.
