We all have the opportunity but lack the courage to just "do it"!

@@noelinesblog9705 AND lack of money and time... Most people have their families, jobs etc. They cant just decide to leave all of it and go to cycle..

@@davidpitterson933 it's the jobs and money that make it hard because without a job we don't have money to support ourselves and without money there is a lack of food etc.

@@davidpitterson933 Different strokes for different folks I guess... we all have choices

@@noelinesblog9705 thank you Nancy you are liked and valued

That’s an interesting way to educate about the larger world out there!

We don't even imagine how beneficial it is to watch such adventure

That's wonderful!

It is better not to watch/ Just do this journey by yourself

You are doing great work with expanding their minds :)

I'm 66, retiring from work this year and otherwise in the same position as you Sanatan. It's my ambition to cycle from the Uk where I live, to Algeria this coming August. I get away on the bike and camp whenever I can just to get practice.

I am 65 and have so far had a truly amazing life exploring across 💯 different countries...and still living a life of adventure every day. I have no regrets because I always followed my heart and passion of the outdoors. Live life to the full! 🙂

@@macca742 I'm living in The Netherlands and I cycled twice to Algeria.

@@macca742 welcome to algeria maybe we can go cycling togather

@@ucefyahiya6116 I would love to meet anyone in Algeria who is interested in cycling.I've not found any organisations to help touring cyclists. Can you suggest any?

That sounds amazing! Would you mind delving a little bit deeper into your journey? You said you walked from the south coast to Whitby. Ofcourse I do not know your starting point. But if I look up the distance between Lands End (Wales) to Whitby it says roughly 440miles (708km). So 3 months walking would mean you walked 4.8miles (7.7km) a day. Withouth sounding disrespectful or snobbish...that sounds a bit low? Now I understand you didn't just walk in a straight line. You've mentioned visiting London, Lincoln and Bath. So I assume you walked along the south and then went up? When I plot that into Google Maps it comes out to roughly 527miles (848km). Which would mean 5.85miles (9.4km) a day. Now again, without sounding arrogant, disrespectful or snobbish...a healthy person can walk 10km in less then 2 hours. Furthermore Google Maps says that it would take 7 days to walk. Ofcourse that doesn't include sleeping, occasional stops/sightseeing and general resting. But still 7 days --> 3months is a huge difference. Again I'm asking because this is something I would LOVE to do! I'm just (annoyingly) curious about your method/choises!

me too !!

@@andreac674 Hey @Bernardo, Looks like all we are OUTLIERS. Love your stuff too :p

If you really want it, do it 🙏

@@cedricbertolino8648 lack of courage and determination

It is incredibly inspiring. When I was 24, I did set out on what was supposed to be a tour from my home town in the Netherlands all the way to Kyrgyzstan. I did not make it there - after reaching Helsinki I had enough, and simply took a ferry to St. Petersburg, then flew home. But I learned so much about myself. In my case, I learned that I actually really like the certainties of having a job and a fixed home. But that was really a discovery! Because for a long time I had been pondering on what it would be like to truly be off the grid for a long time. I'm 33 now and am fully settled with a family. But I know for sure that if I had not made that journey that I would always have been wondering the "what if". And now I know that, at least for me, ordinary family life with an ordinary job actually is the way. I still really like watching videos like this though. There is so much beautiful stuff out there on the road and it is great to be out there for a while.

this is truly amazing. so inspiring. and as u said, cinematography, photography and storytelling...everything is so much more than i expected! i am speechless.

I had the same thought about the girl,...let’s settle and build a family 🤷‍♂️😂

Who’s carrying the drone on this trip? Those shots were impressive, he self filmed that?

@@anelkaisgood2 Same question with me.

@@anelkaisgood2 You can program the drone to fly on its own. That's how solo travelers can get these super epic shots on their own. Can't wait until I get mine. 😊

​@@sunset-yi7bx I cycled west from London, did the ridgeway, Hay on wye, up the Welsh border country, through the pennines, back over to the lake district, over the border to galoway and up through Loch Ness, across to Mull, up to Sky, back over to Inverness where I took a train back to London.

So well said. What an amazing life you are living! Breaking the “cycle” to cycle, just inspiring!

That's a very simplistic take on a very complex theme. You need some kind of financial back up or a nest egg or something to fall back on when the journey is over. A lot of people struggle to make ends meet and can't take a year off to go travelling or cycling around the world regardless of how inspiring his life is, which it obvioulsy is.

@@duhusker4383 Thats why you should do it before you rent or buy a house and have a family.

@@redwhite_040 Easier said than done. Martijn is from the Netherlands, Dutch people have very high living standards compared to most other countries in the world. I'm not trying to be contrarian, but it's a fact that people from richer countries find it a lot easier to undertake these kinds of endeavours.

@@duhusker4383 Yup, such a pissant insult 'afraid'. Scrape the surface of these 'adventurers' even a little and their 'risk' is actually negligible.

Can't wait for your journey docs. When you said "people are afraid to quit their comfy life" I gathered you are on your bike exploring somewhere in the world, right!👉🚲😅

I was expecting some house renovation and then this amazing content happens :)

I agree.. but being born as a woman makes me get so much trouble traveling alone. Not safe even in my own neighbourhood

beautiful book. nice to see video and more pics this way..

@@marialim2273 just do it anyway. Never let fears interfere with your dreams. I travelled alone so often in my life and am still bushcrafting alone. Don't worry too much, live :-)

I've been wanting to do this as well. I am going to do this once I have no more fam left my mom she passed Dec 5 of 2021. I love you n currently taking care of my grandpa who is 89 cycling to work doing what I can to make sure he's happy.n taking care of. But this is something I always wanted to do and will be doing. Going to start n Georgia anyones welcome if ya wanna join or just chat about this type of journey. Anyways peace b safe.

I’m 19 to bro, I want to do this edventually

23 here and been on a couple weeks-long trips, and many more weekend ventures. It's good to start small. We have plenty of time. Pick a destination close to where you live that makes you dream, so you have a clear goal. You don't need expensive gear, but you need to be well prepared, so make a lot of research. Grab a friend if you can. I set off for the first time at 20 and never regretted it.

I wonder it it is filmed in Amsterdam, cause those sure looked like Andreas crosses on the door.
