  1. I’m just baffled how come I’m one of just so few to enjoy this. Is this really the moment know it before it was cool!?
    Your production value is really high, it’s crazy as well how many cinematic moments you’ve had during the trip. But that probably isn’t just coincidence and you’ve got eye for it.
    I hope you won’t follow your pattern of shining bright for a while and then going mute for years 😀
    Well done 😉
    Saying hi from Slovakia

  2. I just recently found your channel and I really enjoy your videos, especially this one. And what a great poem by your friend. Keep up what you’re doing, I can’t understand how you don’t have more subscribers. Greetings from Germany 🙂

  3. Had a smile from the beginning to the end! Can't agree more with the other comments about the quality of this video! Loved the pictures, love the poem, the emotions transpiring in every second/image, and just the beauty of it all. So looking forward to see more of your art Karam!!

  4. Hey! I came across your channel as I have been planning a similiar bikepacking trip with a friend in Vietnam, but actually fell in live with the way you tell your stories and the type of adventures you embark! I really like the pictures you took on this Finland trip! May I know what kind of camera you used to take them? I reckon it’s analog but nothing more than that, cheers!

  5. Ahhh thanks for putting this out there. It is such a wholesome video! I think it is so special to visit a place with a local and see it from their eyes and get to know each other on a deeper level . I am already looking forward to do that as well with people I met while on exchange for my studies last fall. 🙂
