  1. Please accept my humble like and comment for your effort put into this, and for everyone who helped and joined along the road. Excellent choice of a first song of the soundtrack btw!

  2. Nice trip! I did the same several years back but went a different route to you guys. Does your solar panel work well as I've been thinking of getting one for my trips. Cheers

  3. Amazing trip and what a great doco you put together! Deserves many more plays 😉Next year doing Athens to Split so was good to see parts of that route 😃

  4. At the beginning of the video, there is the intro of “Yolcu (traveller)”, a song by Neşet Ertaş, one of Turkey’s greatest folk artists. I thank the video creator for including this piece. Here, I share with you the first four lines of this song in both Turkish and English.

    English :

    Traveler born from a mother’s womb,
    Did you fall in love with the world when you saw it?
    Some are great, some mere insects, some servants,
    Did you wonder and ask about any of them?
    Have you asked yourself why these things happen?

    Turkish:
    Bir anadan dünyaya gelen yolcu,
    Görünce dünyaya gönül verdin mi?
    Kimi büyük, kim böcek, kimi kul,
    Merak edip hiçbirini sordun mu?
    Bunlar neden, nedenini sordun mu?

  5. I came across this video in my stream and I loved it. In 37 min there were lots of things, their energy, lots of different places, views, a lot of challenges but still enjoying it, songs from different part of the world and I loved them too. Music is too good. I hope this video reaches to everyone loves traveling, joys the life. Well done, bravo.

  6. I am on a bicycle journey right now, my first time. And you made it to Turkey to the cities Kadikoy, Ayvalik, cities I have lived for years. And you raised support for the earthquake survivors, I volunteered at the earthquake zone for a long time and it means a lot to feel solidarity where and how ever it comes. And I noted down the bicycle spots in Turkey, you have been to, I am gonna pay them a visit too. Thanks for the inspiration.
