In this episode I ride closer to the border with China, and visit a 15th century caravanserai - a place where travelers on the ancient Silk Road used to rest. Now, 600 years later, I travel those same paths. Here I teach all my filming techniques including getting drone shots while riding!
Riding the Silk Road toward China: 15th Century Caravanserai
In this episode, I ride closer to the border with China, and visit a 15th century caravanserai - a place where travelers on the ancient Silk Road used to rest. Now, 600 years later, I travel those same paths..
Here I teach all my filming techniques including getting drone shots while riding!
In this episode, Itchy Boots leans toward the China border on a ride that brings her to a doorway of history and spice of adventure. She stops at a 15th century caravanserai along the Silk Road, a resting place once shared by travelers crossing the ancient route. Nearly six centuries later, she retraces those same paths on her vintage Yamaha, weaving through remote landscapes and telling the story with her signature practical curiosity. Along the way, she pulls back the curtain on her filming process, sharing the techniques she uses to capture the ride, including drone shots from the saddle. The result is a blend of historical vibe, rugged riding, and behind‑the‑scenes know‑how that makes the Silk Road feel alive and approachable. It’s a chapter about distance, discovery, and the art of storytelling on two wheels.
