I am very curious on how did you manage expenses ?. If I were to do something like this how much would it cost me ? my whole savings ?
My lesson for today is to prepare myself for the things I know and let the unknown things unfold themselves.
This is what I need, awaiting my 3rd child.
Thank you for the reminder. I wish you all the best and sending best regards from Germany
Nice! Just saw the Buzzalong trip to Patagonia Chile. New Zealand seems like a great similar landscape. You're very brave.
you are a brive woman
Lost me and not wearing a helmet majority of the video, that's the first thing you learn about riding a bike
… and yet you need money to trade it for time, way more then in most regions of the world you can save…
How I’m the world do u get over th fear of all th xyz things that can happen as a single female rider (& solo camping)??!!!
I believe she is one of those women who lives out feminism, and has decided against family and children and is now traveling around the world, and the men only help her with bicycle repairs!
More and more often, we encounter women in this world who decide against family life and children and prefer to travel the world alone. I find these women more sympathetic than those who exploit and cheat on their husbands!
Loved your doco and your story. Some excellent writing, well done. Being in nature is a magic elixir 💯. Thank you for sharing. You’re a brave and courageous soul. 💪🙌🫶
Thanks 🤙
I loved it, thanks for sharing you beautiful adventures, I admire you.
Thanks for the documentary. In April the headwinds across the Nullarbor heading east are constant. I've met other riders every time I've ridden "across the paddock". On the countdown to reaching 60 when I can do my annual across Australia ride knowing that Sydney is not the end, but just another stop on a decades long adventure on two wheels. 🍕🚴🍍
Wow …. what an outstanding story
Just too good ❤❤
Vistas were❤❤
❤❤
Thank you for such a great film , you are truly amazing and a real inspiration. I will do the same very soon 😊 take care and if you come to wales 🏴 uk look us up 👍🏼❤️
Brilliant!
Quite the bike travel there. Inspiring. Have to look into working on farms.
It’s so beautiful trip. Thank you that you sharing it with us 🙏
Fantastic video! Thank you for sharing your insights on this journey of yours
I have had traveled through western Europe to Poland once on bycycle, watching your Epic Documentary makes me dream again about such journeys but I need to save a bit and always wanted to join French Foreign Legion for military adventure by the way. This would help me to save a bit to see the World for sure but it is not easy to serve 5 year contract in the most disciplined army in the World and it is kinda long contract. 5 years is enough to see the World I feel. I need to rethink everything. Thank you for your Epic Documentary. It is one of the Kind.
thank you.
INCREDIBLE!
This was truly heartwarming to watch. The sound of your commentary rings a genuine bell of authenticity for what you enjoy; life! Thank you so much for taking the time and energy to document your journeys and sharing them with the rest of the world, inspiring!
Remind me to Zahariz..
Hats off 2 you! What a trip, physically, emotionally and metaphysically … the souls journey.
Big love from Barcelona
What an inspiration 🙏 thank you for your beautiful perspective and showing us your experience.
Africa never looked so small
Appreiciate for your video. If you make you happy, you'll make the people around you happy, if you make around happy, you can make the world better
I was glad to see a woman traveller on a bike. So strong and brave. Made me cry. I want to feel the air and rain and see what’s after that next bend. Well done 👏🏼
I’m 48 and I think life is about seeing this world
I want to do this but how do i start
LOL ….Not another one ! …Seems all these vloggers have started to do these cycling vids
indomie
Man… looking at this, I wish I have the courage to undertake such an endeavor. Keep it up. Thanks for sharing this.
Did you run tubeless with the maxxis tires?
using GoPro or camera
Finally YouTube offers me something worth watching, what an amazing journey and memories you could never forget. I’m for sure inspired by this to start my own bike packing journey! Thankyou and good luck for future adventures 🙏
After all, which would you rather leave this world with? A bigger memory bank or bank account?
You deserve that award.
You are the first woman I can watch and listen to your journeys because you are so pure and in balance with life and with nature. You are not a nervous panicking crying attention seeking female, but a genuine one and a genuine adventure lover
Wow, phenomenal documentary. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you for sharing your story with us.
The whole film looks just like a hyper-fast Hollywood trailer. Not for a moment is there any depth or genuine contact with the locals or intrinsic culture. It is a breakneck pace from A to B and from B to C. Ultimately, a boring and meaningless trip. The award-winning is a laughable mistake.
