About this film
Episode 371 of OnHerBike’s Central America series follows a journey that began in April 2017, when the rider left Australia for a solo trip around the world on a BMW F800GS. The destination and duration were left open-ended. Here, the focus narrows to Colón Island in Panama and a wild-camping location the rider describes as an exceptional discovery during that wider tour. Rather than setting out a detailed itinerary, the description foregrounds the camping experience and its place among many nights spent outdoors across the world.
The journey
The supplied details establish Panama as the episode’s location, but do not specify the route taken to reach Colón Island, the riding conditions, or how the rider found the campsite. The story is therefore best approached as a stop within a continuing motorcycle journey, not as a route guide. The description places the island visit in the context of extensive travel and wild camping, mentioning earlier experiences across mountains and deserts without identifying those locations. Its central progression is from the broader world tour to a particular beach-side camping experience in Panama.
People, places and moments
Colón Island is the only specific place named in the episode information. The main point of interest is the contrast between the many camping experiences accumulated on tour and this one location, which the rider considers especially memorable. The wider journey is described as solo travel on a BMW F800GS, begun in Australia in 2017; no additional riders, local encounters, or specific events are identified in the available description. Recorded in June 2025, the episode belongs to a long-running journey whose final destination and duration remain undecided.
What to expect
- A solo motorcycle world tour episode set on Colón Island, Panama.
- A wild-camping experience presented as a standout of the wider journey.
- Context from a tour begun in Australia in 2017 on a BMW F800GS.
