Giacomo Turco | Cycling Beyond
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 2 มี.ค. 2021
Sharing stories, setbacks and emotions along my solo bikepacking adventures. I would happy to inspire other people to do the same or just to go the extra mile in life.
I am Giacomo, a 28-years-old aerospace engineer from Italy. I am not an athlete, nor a photographer. I am just a sensitive solo cyclonaut and enthusiast explorer, curious about discovering different cultures and keen on travelling into wild nature.
In January 2024 I started solo bikepacking from Patagonia to Alaska.
In 2021, before starting to work, I went solo bikepacking through the wildest parts of Iceland for 50 days. In 2022 I spent 3 months in Nepal. In these months I had been trekking and cycling through very remote areas which often remain untouched by tourists.In 2023 I went solo bikepacking the wild and vast Mongolian Steppe for 25 days.
Jump on the back of my bike and join me for the next adventures Beyond this Planet.
You will not be disappointed, hopefully :)

Don Rubèn, Peter and Elma live at 2500m among the clouds, in Colombia. Here they have a small farm. I have never seen a place like this, where clouds keep dancing on the mountains. There is a special energy, some kind of vibrations I have never felt before in my life. In my bikepacking journey through the department of Santander, I got hosted by them for one night and once I ended my tour in th...

I have not seen a single person, car or any sign of human life since I left for this 4-day traverse of the Andes. I think, what if something happens to me? What if the bike breaks and I can't continue? I have the satellite GPS to call for help, but that would really be a last All of a sudden I feel overcome with fear. I have faced situations like this before in Mongolia, but I knew that within ...

Activate the SUBTITLES to follow in ENGLISH INTRO In July 2023 I set off for a 25-days solo bikepacking adventure into the vast and wild Mongolian steppe. Mongolia is a place that, to me, has always been a land of adventure. Adventure because when you are there, alone, in the middle of the steppe, makes you fell really exposed, insignificant, vulnerable. At the same time gives you absolute free...

Thank you so much for the support, very appreciated 🙏🥰
Nice culture and so much adventure. Greetings from philippine bikepacker. Ride safe mate
Thank you so much! Wish you really amazing rides as well
What an amazing adventure. I was wondering what bike you are using. Were you happy with it?
Hi, I am using a surly ECR with surly extraterrestrial tyres and rohloff. At times I think it’s a bit heavy but it’s so sturdy, I love it 🥰
Amazing! When was this? I'm planning on riding this route this October. Do you think it will be rideable considering the rain? I don't mind the odd shower but if it's pouring for days I might have to reconsider my plans...
Hi and thank you! Actually I don’t know, the weather is very unpredictable especially in the mountains.in my case usually was raining really hard but no more than a couple of hours. If I were you I would just give it a try I think
Hi, tell me how is the mobile connection in this country? Is the coverage good?
Depends where but in many areas there is no coverage at all
@@cycling.beyond thx 😉
super cool! Keep it up
Yess, will do my best
Wooooow what a quality video 😮😮😮😮

I tuoi filmati ipnotizzano, vorrei non finissero mai. Che regalo ci stai facendo Giacomo!Solo gratitudine ed ammirazione.
grazie mille Lia come sempre per le bellissime parole. Ce la metto tutta. devo mandare il video ai quattro venti perche qualcuno lo guardi, ma sono molto contento di questi video. Un abbraccio
Hi bro, this is fascinating recording! Totally love it. How do you control the drone shots while riding the bike?
thanks!! I just make it do the loop(DJI quickshots) and hope it will track me. with DJI mini 3 pro this is a lot easier ;)

Do something about daily life, about your own reflections over long hours, and ultimately about the very feeling of loneliness that you experienced and are mastering. Please, it would be so wonderful to delve as deeply as possible into what you are doing!
I will do my best, thank you so much 🫶
Giacomo, Bro, I can't even explain 0.01% of all the things I want to say. WHAT A GREAT ADVENTURE! WHAT A WONDERFUL LIFE YOU'RE LIVING right now, what a great wonder to be in touch with all of that in the same moment! I can honestly say that you are like another me in a parallel universe, if you know what I mean. I would ask you to talk more, to make longer films, as you can, even raw silent footage.
Thank you much for the very kind worlds, you cannot imagine how much I appreciate them 🙏 I think I am very lucky to live a life like this I really try to express myself and my feelings with videos and at that time I feel nobody really cares about the content I do So knowing that there is somebody that feels what I feel is really amazing for me. I will try to be better and create better and better content Thank you for the big motivation 🙏🙏
