I think its fair to say we all fell in love with Victoria. If you'd like to follow her next adventure, please check out her channel and other links in the top of the description. Anyway, although this video might start off sad, its not all doom and gloom and also encapsulates some truly magical moments that will stay with me for a long time. I hope you enjoy it. Please be kind in the comments. We are real people, and there is always a lot more going on than people share online. Thank you!
Hola Greg. Soy Ricardo de Tucuman Argentina. Tuvimos la opórtunidad de ver tus videos y los de Victoria. Lamentamos mucho que vuestros caminos tengan un rumbo diferente. Pero asi es la vida. . Puedo decirte que me paso algo similar. Perdi a mi compañera de viaje, pero las vueltas de la vida me la devolvio. Nosotros tambien viajamos. Y hoy lo seguimos haciendo juntos. . Vamos a estar esperando mas sobre tu viaje. Somos Sandra y Ricardo. De argentina. Y esperamos tu llegada a nuestro pais. Y estamos a tu disposicion para lo que necesites Un abrazo enorme!!! Buenas Rutas!
Hola Greg, I am sorry that you and Victoria split in your own directions but I am glad to hear that you are continuing with your dreams despite lifes challenges.
Greg. Mark here...the klr guy from the copper canyon. So sorry to hear that you and victoria split up.....I was wondering where you had gone after we parted. Much admiration for being so honest and open about your feelings.... I felt really fortunate to meet you guys and I wish you the best on your journey...you have the real heart of an adventurer.... I hope you fulfil your dreams
Greg, what are you doing to me! My wife came home to find her 52 year old husband bleary eyed watching a 'cycling' video. Another great video, thank you for sharing. All the best to you.
The words "masterpiece of cinema" have lost all meaning at this point with how often people spam them. this is a lovely video but it's a youtube video, not a scripted, acted movie made by a hundred people for the big screen aka the cinema
@@tomreingold4024 i typically consider a masterpiece something that's an all-time great. It's a big word. It's become used as a synonym for "excellent" or "great" or even "good". Every TH-cam video with moderate effort and shot at 24p has a dozen comments under it calling it a masterpiece of cinema 😂 Again this is a really good vid and this isn't a dig at it, but abusing our vocabulary with hyperbole for the sake of being nice destroys all meaning. It's okay to say something is good without saying it's the best thing you've ever seen. Same goes for the word "cinema". I don't think Gen z and beyond knows what a movie is.
This felt like an entire movie. You are a talented film maker and a brave person to share so openly and so honestly -- in a way, this is a story many of us recognize from our own lives. Heartbreak and finding a way to move forward and find what makes us whole again. Thank you for your honesty, openness, and the gift of sharing this adventure with us. I wish you and Victoria the absolute best.
Please never delete these videos. I want to rewatch these til I die. As a person coming from a country where the whole nature is just endless forests and lakes and people are so reserved, I love to watch this stunning nature, wonderful people and endless adventure. It's a vibe to go to England and see all your relatives and friends after this stuff. This makes me want to do this same trip or something like this myself. Wow
I can't help but think of Victoria and all the hard work you did together. We all miss her, I am pretty sure. It's incredible how we all hundreds or thousands of follower feel alone without Victoria, without her company, her sympathy, her strength... But you are doing great Greg, you are a strong guy and will manage to go on. Cheers from Italy 🇮🇹🇬🇧🇲🇽
I'm 66 years old. I did some backpaking back in early 90's and I can relate to the way you feel. Jean Paul Sartre said: "If you feel lonely when you're alone it's because you're in bad company" and yes I admit sometimes I felt really lonely and wished I had someone to talt to but it was only a few times. I love how you edited this vid: the music, only the necessary words, your heart felt words...never had I watched a vid like yours. Thanks so much for sharing! Que tengas un muy buen camino. Dios te acompaña! 👍🏼
This was so heartfelt and personal, Greg. We had tears in our eyes seeing the difficulties your were going through. So glad that it seems you were able to eventually re-discover the original impetus for your trip, and also get a chance to go home to share time with family and friends for a while. Wishing you all the best. ❤
Oh Greg, that goodbye looked so tough 😢 I teared up when Victoria spoke into the camera. Keep the adventure going! We're all cheering for you from Australia.
That part floored me. Her wiping her tears as she watches him take off, walking to the camera and saying "Hey, I love you, ok?" I haven't cried like this in years.
I'm 42 and watching you from beginning and I was tearing from the eyes. That was the saddest news few month ago and now watching this make me so sad. Be strong Greg, I know is tough but you will be fine, band she will be fine.
The way you handled that aggressive man on the horse, in Spanish, was incredible how you de-escalated the situation! We will miss Victoria, but I will keep watching and waiting for more of your adventure!
he was not aggresive, thats "the way" old men talk in that region, you can say is the natural tone of their voice, and he was also drunk and just playing when he said he was going to cut his ear off xD, kinda being sarcastic. They like to play hard in those regions.
There should be an award for this doco. It’s near perfect balance of ambiance, fear and searching, story telling simply, watching you both learning life, you came to life’s greatest struggles of love. You manned up and stayed true, leaving a solid relationship. We in the audience know you’re gonna get through the process that everybody needs to go through. Happily you came out shining bright. We watched you become great. Music is perfect, cinematic and we ALL were captivated. And the the hook at the end !?! Mi amor!!! That was genius This needs to be shown at Cannes, it’s that good to watch. Get back on the road my G, we need season II.
i've watched-binged actually, your videos during my preparation for the national exam to be a doctor. it was a hard time and your video bring so much light and hope to my life. i'm so glad to be in this journey with you and victoria and so grateful for the joy that both of you had bring to my life. i hope you and victoria the best on your respective path, you both deserve it. and now i'm officially a doctor and about to head on my own adventure! much love!
I only just started watching your channel today, but your braveness to continue YOUR journey is remarkable! One peddle at a time my new friend… YOUVE GOT THIS!!!
Tu viaje por México sanara tu corazón y te hará llegar a tu meta, cuando la llegues a Ushuaia recuerda, todo valió la pena, y si aun amas a Victoria cuando cumplas tu meta, que volver a ella sea la recompensa
Beautiful chapter. An example of how difficult it is to face complicated situations and how time and day-to-day experiences show us that what is complicated can be overcome. Thank you for motivating those of us who are excited about these chapters and for those of us who dream of embarking on that fantastic journey that we dream of so much.
If this journey and these videos were to be shown on mainstream tv, it would be winning every Emmy and BAFTA out there. Greg these have everything. Beauty, drama, storytelling, music, suspense, emotion. They just grab you by the eyes and heart in the purest form. Genuinely inspiring
Hi Greg. Like everyone i was very sad at Victoria's departure. i have watched every one of your videos, and wait for the next one. You have inspired me as a 69 year old to do my first bike tour in some 55 years. i have just come back from 3 days in the Netherlands.... definitely not the copper canyon, but it was your videos that inspired me, and i am already thinking of where to go next. Glad you are continuing, and best of luck to you and Victoria. Keep videoing
Hi Greg. I’ve been following your and Victoria’s adventures since you two left Dead Horse-Prudhoe Bay in July 2022. I am a fan of bikepacking and originally was following Ryan Van Duzer and John Freeman since 2020 and remember seeing you for the first time at a store with both. I think that was the first time you all met one another. I think Ryan and John were touring Arizona at the time, heading to Grand Canyon. When you and Victoria started your quest to Argentina from Dead Horse, I have anxiously watched out for your videos by the day. Love watching Victoria sing in Spanish…she is a kick and yes, we all have fallen in love with the both of you. Keep your passion for bikepacking to Argentia alive and finish it with gusto and bravado. I pray that you and Victoria end up together at some point in the future if that is what you both want. God be with you always to the end my friend.
This was a beautiful, moving tribute to why we do things we do, to love, to moving forward. To loss, and hope. To the world's beauty. To resilience. I wish you both all the things you wish for. Thank you for sharing these moments with us.
I’ve been following along with your journey for over a year now, and loving every second you share. I really can empathise with what you went through, and I’m happy that you came out the other side well and got to see your family and friends. You inspired me to take my first bike packing trip, I cycled from Munich to Milton Keynes (my home), and so even though you may just be some guy on a bike, you’re a very inspiring guy on a bike and I am so glad that I took on the challenge because it was one of the best experiences of my life so far. Thank you.
Greg, many of us have stood in your situation. Felt gutted, alone, lost, and directionless. And with time you learn that the world keeps spinning, that the days go by, and gradually you start to let the world back in, and that the sun is shining and good people are abound. It's rough mate, it will always be, but gradually you start to live with it like you did in the end of the video. Cheers to you, and thank you for your videos, you make people genuinely happy "out here". Take care bru.
Greg, I have been following your journey as of day 1. I had alot of respect for you and Victoria, but in all honesty....it has increased so much more today. A gringo (at least, in the eyes of the Mexicans) travelling all alone in rugged terrain. I wish you so much more beautiful moments, which I hope you will share with us, on the interwebs. Thanks in advance!
This video made me emotional. Maybe because it was raw and real in terms of emotions and reiterates the fact that it's the people who make the journey. Things will turn out for the best for you and Victoria in the future! Much love mi amigo!
Greg, amazing video. I am going through the same emotions as my girlfriend felt she was following me on my dream, and we split apart. I haven’t yet got back to remembering why I wanted to travel the world in the first place. It is so nice to know I’m not alone. Thank you.
You're a true cinematographer, (music and landscapes nailed it), somatic healer (how many people did you just help to process deep deep emotions through almost convulsive crying?), You're HOPE for humanity, and you encourage us all to GET THE HELLO OUTSIDE and grab life's beauties and sadness. I was just about to sit down and do some computer work, and now I'm going outside to sit in the deck with my puppy in the mid morning sun! Therapy You've such a future. Will look into how to support you! One in a million.
@@dowtie1997 people who can't handle other people's enthusiasm are telling much more about themselves than the who they're criticizing. You might want to ask yourself what about someone else's interest and passion causes you to negatively react; jealousy, inability to process feelings, who knows... But worth looking into
Wow! What a truly inspiration adventure you (and Victoria) have been on. I'm planning on hiking the PCT but I also love cycling so I stumbled across your video with Victoria and now this one. I'm currently going through a breakup and I have truly felt inspired by your journey alone through Mexico and how time and the adventure of life can heal our hearts :) sending lots of best wishes for your next leg!
Beautiful! You had every reason to quit and no one would have blamed you for it, but you didn’t. You overcame and showed the rest of us what is possible when you don’t give up. You’re an inspiration of how to live your dream. Continue on with the help of the beautiful people of Mexico. I’m rooting for your success
Very beautiful how you are able to open up, express your feelings and be vulnerable - even more so in front of the camera. Thanks for sharing. Hope there will be another chapter for you and Victoria in the future
Hey Greg, been following you two since the beginning. I am a lurker and never comment, but this video really hit me hard having been in a similar situation where different motives pulled my apart from someone I loved. You are a legend for following your dream, and I don't know, or want to speculate at all, about the details between you and Victoria. But I really appreciate your heartfelt video, and it shows how strong and how beautiful a person you are that you can talk about this in such a positive light. I will keep following both of your adventures and I really wish you the best in Mexico
One of my favorite videos you've done man. Been listening to Alone in Oslo the last day on repeat. Beautiful journey you've been on together. Excited to follow along on this next part of your journey. All the best man
Greg, I've been following you since the very first beginning of your Panamerican adventure, because it was a TH-cam suggestion even though you had hardly any subscribers or views yet. And look now: we're one year later and you've hit the +150 k subscribers' mark! One year later and you're in Mexico, one year and you've had to find back your spirit travelling alone. And you all did it! I'm still enjoying every video you release, although sometimes we have to be a bit patient :) And also: your video-editing and story telling skills have grown so much. It's just amazing!! Wishing you a good time in England and hope to see you back on your bike in a new video in the future! All the best, que te vaya bien!!
Toward the beginning of the video, you mentioned that the tent felt so big. I keep hearing the Police song, "The Bed's Too Big Without You". What a journey of emotion you've experienced! I'm happy you are happier toward the end of the video. Cheers!
Greg- this experience may probably have been one of the hardest things you’ve had to go through in your life, but you persevered, overcame, and now you are a stronger person for it. Your strength and commitment to your core values is a shining example to us all. I’m so glad I subscribed to your channel a few episodes after you started this journey- some of the best content on TH-cam. Thank you.
Well I cried laughing at the guy with the 2 kids ‘Alaska!!!’. Journeys contain so many elements and you show them all, the good and not so good. Sending you both peace and happiness in the future. Remember the good times. This is the best cycle touring series and there are some very good ones. Thank you for everything 🙌
I wasn't crying until your birthday day alone, I know that feeling. Thank you for showing this incredible road. The pictures with your family are pure gold. Anoher Masterpiece video. Can't wait to see your videos crossing south of Mexico and Central America.
Thank you for your raw honesty! So sorry your adventure took such a turn! What an encouragement this video will be to others who find themselves in the middle of something that they do not want to go through I really appreciate and enjoy your videos and will look forward to the next one when it comes. Blessings to you!
Hi, Greg. I'm sorry to hear about the separation with Victoria, but well, everyone makes their own decisions and you should treasure that time together like gold because you looked very good together. If your route through Argentina brings you to Misiones, I would be very happy to give you accommodation and be part of the realization of your dreams! Greetings! Sorry for my english, its justo your spanglish😅
I've been looking forward to this new episode to drop for so so long and following your updates on Instagram. The emotions that you convey of the highs and lows of this adventure are so genuine... Incredible editing, I feel like every episode takes it to another level, and your music selection is so good too, you are an incredible story teller Greg...
I’ve been waiting to see your adventure continue. ❤ Thank you for sharing and showing your authenticity for life and love. I can’t wait to see more. 🎉💕
man, i have no words. i clicked this video immediately when i saw it. wishing you well from back in London, this is so hard to see. you are so very strong, i couldnt do this. props to you. the fact you said goodbye on good terms really says a lot about both if your character though
Buddy, I waited so long for a new video, this was a shock and it’s also a very dramatic plot twist for the viewers. But I cannot imagine how hard this must have been for you personally! Love from Germany! 💙
Greg and Victoria--love to you both on navigating the roads of your hearts and the roads of our world. Thank you, Greg, for the honesty and painful beauty of sharing what it means to be human, and to love, and to let go. Your magnificent adventure is part of a life well-lived--I am humbled and grateful that you are sharing it. Onward!
Oh Greg, I've been through the comments and basically all I am thinking has been said but I still feel the urge to tell you about it. Thank you for this video, thank you for being honest, and raw, and vulnerable. For not hiding those low moments. I am having some low days myself and this is all I needed to see, that it's okay to accept them, feel them, talk about them, and live through them as well. At the same time I feel like I've just watched a great movie, a very visually pleasant one, with perfect music (raw, emotional, thanks Tom!), what else do we need? For you to have some lovely time home with friends and family, and then do whatever you feel like doing really. I'll chip in to support somehow, thank you again, gracias!! Si llegas algún día a Argentina, tendrás a mi familia para recibirte :)
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I have never seen anything so incredible. Thank you for sharing your journey with us and the incredible people you met. I am so very sorry for the pain you went through. It hurt to watch. But I loved seeing you gain your joy again.
Blown away by this. An amazing courageous thing to do riding a bike across the Americas, but even more courageous to wear your heart on your sleeve in a way that very few would.
Путешествовать по миру на велосипеде - это самый лучший способ познать его. Да, это тяжело! Это выматывает! Это проверяет на прочность! Но, как же это вознаграждает! Это была самая лучшая серия из всех! Просто потрясающе! Молодец! 👍
What an absolutely incredible video. I love how you talked through the development of your emotional state as you travelled. As someone who has solo travelled I relate to a lot of that and it was so cool to see someone else be so vulnerable about it. Well done!
Greg, thank you for sharing so honestly and openly. I have been watching your whole journey but this is the first time that I am commenting. This video is truly a masterpiece. You are such a positive and inspiring person. Wishing you the absolute best as you continue your magical journey. Cheering you on, buddy!
This is why TH-cam is so amazing... your type of content. I'm happy to see a nice ending and here to say that you don't have to prove to yourself or anyone else what you're capable of doing. Saludos from Argentina-we'll greet you with open arms! 🤗
Wow your videos are a piece of art. But what makes them so beautiful is your ability to stay true and honest to yourself, thankyou for your vulnerability and showing the truth, its truly amazing what you are doing and especially what you've gone through.
Dear Greg, thank you for your courage to share your deep emotions and thoughts. Winston Churchill once said "If you're going through hell, keep going" and you just proved it right. You will emerge stronger after this tough experience. I keep my fingers crossed and remember, you are not alone!
You make beautiful videos. They are some of the best I have seen on TH-cam. Thank you for sharing your adventures. I admire your bravery, resilience, and artistry. Stay safe.
So sorry about Victoria. I've been waiting to continue following your journey. This has been such a great series to follow. Thank you for continuing on so that we can go with you.
Greg, I'm from Perú, and something incredible happened just a few days ago. I met a guy on his way to Argentina cycling from Alaska. His name is Rodri and he is from Wales. My friends and I were making our way from Lima (Perú) to Arequipa and Rodri reached us when we were about to get to Tanaka wich is a small town that belongs to Caraveli (Arequipa). As usually when I meet someone doing this on his bike, I´ve been asking him a lot of questions because a love cycling too, and since he is from Wales and he was explaining us where Wales is located, I remembered you because in one of your videos you said you were from England so I asked him about you and surprisingly he told me that you and Rodri were in a Whatsapp group. I just coudn´t believe it. Now I know that you´re coming back to Mexico in some weeks to retake your trip. I´d love to meet you someday when you get to Perú and give you a big hug. I met you because of Victoria, so I´ve been following your yt channel and I hope you can overcome this difficult moment very soon. Best wishes to you from Perú. Thank you for what you´re doing. 🤗 PD: Sorry about my English, I´m trying to learn more and more everyday.
That was the best thing I've watched in a long time. The spirit of adventure, the willingness to get lost, and the courage to move on is inspiring. This has encouraged me to get lost on two wheels and find home wherever I end up. Cheers!
Thank you for sharing an incredibly vulnerable moment in your life & in the journey. Thank you for bringing us along with you in every single way. I was in tears watching this. Break ups are not easy but especially when Victoria was your person on this epic adventure. It is so lovely to see you still care about one another, love one another. I tour with my husband and I could not imagine suddenly being without him. You have done a remarkable job on this video. All of your videos are remarkable. Your storytelling is incredible. We are cheering for you and are so excited when another one of your videos is available on youtube. We will gladly watch hours of your journeys. Keep going, Greg!!
Wow. You INSPIRE me, Greg. Resilience. Perseverance. Seeing how, as I see it, GOD is taking care of you. The right people helping you at the right times. Bits of companionship to encourage you. I loved seeing some of your family. Trust we will see you, sooner than this last wait we “endured” to hear from you. GOD SPEED.
Thank you Greg and I mean it. I have always wanted to do the thing you had done yet couldn’t find the courage to do so. Whenever I feel like I am suffocating in this civil life, I watch this series which you kindly shared with us. I wish the best for you and Victoria!
Dear Greg, I struggled this morning talking myself into another bike ride. Watching your video will help me keep going. I am sorry for your heartbreak but your immense will power and love for people has helped you overcome what would make most humans turn back. I wish you were riding the west coast of Mexico so we could offer you refuge at our home.
Hey Greg , merci pour ce tres bon moment , de partage , et de nous partager ces tranches de vie ,douloureuses ,intimes et plein de subtilités , tu m'as fais verser une larme !! encore merci !!
Each of your videos is just so beautiful, but this one is even more intense. Your biking adventure is a real symbol of a life journey, with all its challenges, happiness, sorrow, madness, ups and downs. You’re an amazing person doing an amazing adventure in an amazing world out there. Stay strong, stay healthy and stay safe. Enjoy the weddings, seeing your family and can’t wait to see you back in a next episode of your journey of life.
Our hearts are with you Greg! Clearly your adventure is not just through the landscapes external to you, but they are also internal/emotional adventures. No doubt you (and we) would prefer to still have Victoria traveling with you but we're so glad you found your solo-traveling mojo. You are such a positive spirit and have an uncanny ability to see the good in everything... much like the late Iohan "Bike Wanderer." I hope your visit back to England was restorative and we are looking forward to following your ongoing bike adventure. Cheers!!!
This is the second time I have watched this video and I want to say thank you! The video is heartfelt, honest and amazing. Your emotion is so sharp and exposed. I might suggest you compile your experience(s) into a book. It would be something I would look forward to reading. Good luck on your travels and take care!
Adelante amigo Creg... honestamente, estaba pensando si abría tu vídeo cuando me apareció, y compruebo que fue una buena decisión. Es un gran video y creo entender al menos algo lo difícil que este siendo, pero recuerda que también para ella ha de estar siéndolo. Se ve que los 2 son grandiosos seres humanos y todos estamos en el camino aprendiendo. Ojalá que cada quien encuentre lo que esté buscando, aún sin saberlo. Disfruta México y que tú paso por este grandioso país te llene de cosas buenas" en el corazón y en el estómago...Paz
My heart broke for you and Victoria at the beginning of this video. By the end, I was blown away by your courage. The scenery was spectacular! I was so proud and happy when you went to that gorgeous waterfall and took us with you. The canyon before Mexico City was mind blowingly stunning! I hope your trip home was amazing and rejuvenating. I'm looking forward to your next video, as always!
Awesome Stamina, perseverance, and most of all a huge accomplishment and I complain after doing a 50 mile ride on pavement! After watching this video I’ll learn to keep my mouth shut! Thanks for the life lesson on how to prepare mentally to accomplish what ever in life!
Wonderful video and narrative, Gregorio. Randomly came across this and did not intend to watch past minute 1, but then got captured and couldn't leave it. Having lived and bike toured in Mexico myself, your adventures and observations about the places and people of Mexico gave me a huge wave of nostalgia and really tickled my soul. I wish you the best and look forward to future vids.
I think its fair to say we all fell in love with Victoria. If you'd like to follow her next adventure, please check out her channel and other links in the top of the description.
Anyway, although this video might start off sad, its not all doom and gloom and also encapsulates some truly magical moments that will stay with me for a long time. I hope you enjoy it.
Please be kind in the comments. We are real people, and there is always a lot more going on than people share online. Thank you!

Greg you are an legend! 💪
Following your adventures from Singapore. You are a great guy. Let the good times roll.
Adelante hermano, sigue tu esencia.
La luz de la creación te ilumine el camino.
Greg. Mark here...the klr guy from the copper canyon. So sorry to hear that you and victoria split up.....I was wondering where you had gone after we parted. Much admiration for being so honest and open about your feelings.... I felt really fortunate to meet you guys and I wish you the best on your journey...you have the real heart of an adventurer.... I hope you fulfil your dreams
Thank you friend, appreciate the kind words and hope you're doing good!
That is so kind ❤
Я надеюсь что вы будете вместе
Greg, what are you doing to me! My wife came home to find her 52 year old husband bleary eyed watching a 'cycling' video. Another great video, thank you for sharing. All the best to you.
😬 sorry mate! And thank you very much
Same for this 60 year old
Same with this 62 year old😢 what an amazing adventure!!
And this 50 year old
And this 63 year old!
You’re really becoming one of the best storytellers of this platform. Amazing work dude 🙌🏼
Thanks so much Bernardo! And right back at you with that, always love your films
This is a fact !
Yes GOOD storytelling, The artistic capture of feelings was amazing.♥️🎥
Ikr
Bernardo and Greg The only best storytellers for me 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
This is an absolute masterpiece of cinema
Indeed, applause to the screenwriter. That will be the Narrator itself.
The words "masterpiece of cinema" have lost all meaning at this point with how often people spam them. this is a lovely video but it's a youtube video, not a scripted, acted movie made by a hundred people for the big screen aka the cinema
@@KABOBkabob it's a masterpiece of a different form, and it's still a masterpiece. Look at the resources available to him and how well he used them.
Es real y eso lo hace una obra maestra
@@tomreingold4024 i typically consider a masterpiece something that's an all-time great. It's a big word. It's become used as a synonym for "excellent" or "great" or even "good". Every TH-cam video with moderate effort and shot at 24p has a dozen comments under it calling it a masterpiece of cinema 😂
Again this is a really good vid and this isn't a dig at it, but abusing our vocabulary with hyperbole for the sake of being nice destroys all meaning. It's okay to say something is good without saying it's the best thing you've ever seen. Same goes for the word "cinema". I don't think Gen z and beyond knows what a movie is.
the fact that you went back to thank a family that helped you says a lot about your character. stay grateful!
Greg the emotional maturity you show throughout the video is incredible. This video is also an incredible work of film, this was beautiful.
Emotional maturity, storytelling is amazing♥️
This felt like an entire movie. You are a talented film maker and a brave person to share so openly and so honestly -- in a way, this is a story many of us recognize from our own lives. Heartbreak and finding a way to move forward and find what makes us whole again. Thank you for your honesty, openness, and the gift of sharing this adventure with us. I wish you and Victoria the absolute best.
It was brave.
How do you film without a second person capturing you from behind,etc. great music!
One of the best videos you have ever made. Great music, great landscape and your honest thoughts. Keep going man !!!
thanks so much Melvin
Yes you can really see his style♥️ improve & grow
Please never delete these videos. I want to rewatch these til I die. As a person coming from a country where the whole nature is just endless forests and lakes and people are so reserved, I love to watch this stunning nature, wonderful people and endless adventure. It's a vibe to go to England and see all your relatives and friends after this stuff. This makes me want to do this same trip or something like this myself. Wow
I can't help but think of Victoria and all the hard work you did together. We all miss her, I am pretty sure. It's incredible how we all hundreds or thousands of follower feel alone without Victoria, without her company, her sympathy, her strength... But you are doing great Greg, you are a strong guy and will manage to go on. Cheers from Italy 🇮🇹🇬🇧🇲🇽
I'm 66 years old. I did some backpaking back in early 90's and I can relate to the way you feel. Jean Paul Sartre said: "If you feel lonely when you're alone it's because you're in bad company" and yes I admit sometimes I felt really lonely and wished I had someone to talt to but it was only a few times. I love how you edited this vid: the music, only the necessary words, your heart felt words...never had I watched a vid like yours. Thanks so much for sharing! Que tengas un muy buen camino. Dios te acompaña! 👍🏼
This was so heartfelt and personal, Greg. We had tears in our eyes seeing the difficulties your were going through. So glad that it seems you were able to eventually re-discover the original impetus for your trip, and also get a chance to go home to share time with family and friends for a while. Wishing you all the best. ❤
Thank you so much guys. Sorry for the tears, but means a lot to hear it touched you. Sending lots of love!
Sorry to see Victoria leave. You guys were a good team. Her laughter will be missed. She is one strong-willed woman.
Two amazing people. Whether together or apart, you are both still amazing. I wish you both amazing journeys in the future.
Absolutely loved this cinematic masterpiece, my friend. So proud of what you have done and what you have made. Five stars!
thanks mate!
You can really see the maturity of style shine, The storytelling was amazing♥️
Never in a million years would I expect you here!
Oh Greg, that goodbye looked so tough 😢 I teared up when Victoria spoke into the camera.
Keep the adventure going! We're all cheering for you from Australia.
That part floored me. Her wiping her tears as she watches him take off, walking to the camera and saying "Hey, I love you, ok?"
I haven't cried like this in years.
I'm 42 and watching you from beginning and I was tearing from the eyes. That was the saddest news few month ago and now watching this make me so sad. Be strong Greg, I know is tough but you will be fine, band she will be fine.
I watch that 3 times and always tears when she says I love you
The way you handled that aggressive man on the horse, in Spanish, was incredible how you de-escalated the situation! We will miss Victoria, but I will keep watching and waiting for more of your adventure!
he was not aggresive, thats "the way" old men talk in that region, you can say is the natural tone of their voice, and he was also drunk and just playing when he said he was going to cut his ear off xD, kinda being sarcastic. They like to play hard in those regions.
He was not friendly.
@merlijnbell8747 he was trying to scare him into submissions...and probably escalate into theft..but he soon realized he was being an asshole 😮😮
@@franzgil2961 Yep
I didn't perceive him as threatening. Instead, he said something true about killing foreigneirs.
I was sobbing right from 5 minutes in! What a beautiful video, and a beautiful reminder of the spectrum of human experience and emotion
Amazing and very heartfelt Greg. You're not alone. You have all of us riding with you. Thank you for sharing this special vid. We love you.
Thank you Robert! Yes I need to remember that next time I'm feeling lonely, theres a lot of good people right behind me pushing me on
Brave. I’m inspired by your work on the Internet, enriching not just A dopamine distraction.
There should be an award for this doco. It’s near perfect balance of ambiance, fear and searching, story telling simply, watching you both learning life, you came to life’s greatest struggles of love. You manned up and stayed true, leaving a solid relationship. We in the audience know you’re gonna get through the process that everybody needs to go through. Happily you came out shining bright. We watched you become great. Music is perfect, cinematic and we ALL were captivated. And the the hook at the end !?! Mi amor!!! That was genius
This needs to be shown at Cannes, it’s that good to watch.
Get back on the road my G, we need season II.
i've watched-binged actually, your videos during my preparation for the national exam to be a doctor. it was a hard time and your video bring so much light and hope to my life. i'm so glad to be in this journey with you and victoria and so grateful for the joy that both of you had bring to my life. i hope you and victoria the best on your respective path, you both deserve it. and now i'm officially a doctor and about to head on my own adventure! much love!
congratulations. wishing all the best Dr.
So cool! Thanks for the kind words and for following along. And congrats!
I only just started watching your channel today, but your braveness to continue YOUR journey is remarkable! One peddle at a time my new friend… YOUVE GOT THIS!!!
Tu viaje por México sanara tu corazón y te hará llegar a tu meta, cuando la llegues a Ushuaia recuerda, todo valió la pena, y si aun amas a Victoria cuando cumplas tu meta, que volver a ella sea la recompensa
Beautiful chapter. An example of how difficult it is to face complicated situations and how time and day-to-day experiences show us that what is complicated can be overcome. Thank you for motivating those of us who are excited about these chapters and for those of us who dream of embarking on that fantastic journey that we dream of so much.
If this journey and these videos were to be shown on mainstream tv, it would be winning every Emmy and BAFTA out there. Greg these have everything. Beauty, drama, storytelling, music, suspense, emotion. They just grab you by the eyes and heart in the purest form. Genuinely inspiring
This is what I am inspired to create on the Internet♥️ good storytelling & art.
Hi Greg. Like everyone i was very sad at Victoria's departure. i have watched every one of your videos, and wait for the next one. You have inspired me as a 69 year old to do my first bike tour in some 55 years. i have just come back from 3 days in the Netherlands.... definitely not the copper canyon, but it was your videos that inspired me, and i am already thinking of where to go next. Glad you are continuing, and best of luck to you and Victoria. Keep videoing
Hi Greg. I’ve been following your and Victoria’s adventures since you two left Dead Horse-Prudhoe Bay in July 2022. I am a fan of bikepacking and originally was following Ryan Van Duzer and John Freeman since 2020 and remember seeing you for the first time at a store with both. I think that was the first time you all met one another. I think Ryan and John were touring Arizona at the time, heading to Grand Canyon. When you and Victoria started your quest to Argentina from Dead Horse, I have anxiously watched out for your videos by the day. Love watching Victoria sing in Spanish…she is a kick and yes, we all have fallen in love with the both of you. Keep your passion for bikepacking to Argentia alive and finish it with gusto and bravado. I pray that you and Victoria end up together at some point in the future if that is what you both want. God be with you always to the end my friend.
This was a beautiful, moving tribute to why we do things we do, to love, to moving forward. To loss, and hope. To the world's beauty. To resilience. I wish you both all the things you wish for. Thank you for sharing these moments with us.
Ride it off, brother. We all know the pain. Good luck
I’ve been following along with your journey for over a year now, and loving every second you share. I really can empathise with what you went through, and I’m happy that you came out the other side well and got to see your family and friends.
You inspired me to take my first bike packing trip, I cycled from Munich to Milton Keynes (my home), and so even though you may just be some guy on a bike, you’re a very inspiring guy on a bike and I am so glad that I took on the challenge because it was one of the best experiences of my life so far. Thank you.
Greg, many of us have stood in your situation. Felt gutted, alone, lost, and directionless. And with time you learn that the world keeps spinning, that the days go by, and gradually you start to let the world back in, and that the sun is shining and good people are abound. It's rough mate, it will always be, but gradually you start to live with it like you did in the end of the video.
Cheers to you, and thank you for your videos, you make people genuinely happy "out here".
Take care bru.
Just thank you Greg for being who you are and doing what you do!
Greg, I have been following your journey as of day 1. I had alot of respect for you and Victoria, but in all honesty....it has increased so much more today. A gringo (at least, in the eyes of the Mexicans) travelling all alone in rugged terrain. I wish you so much more beautiful moments, which I hope you will share with us, on the interwebs. Thanks in advance!
Thank you Greg that was a masterpiece, with all the highs and lows that life has to offer xxx
This video made me emotional. Maybe because it was raw and real in terms of emotions and reiterates the fact that it's the people who make the journey. Things will turn out for the best for you and Victoria in the future! Much love mi amigo!
Greg, amazing video. I am going through the same emotions as my girlfriend felt she was following me on my dream, and we split apart. I haven’t yet got back to remembering why I wanted to travel the world in the first place. It is so nice to know I’m not alone. Thank you.
You're a true cinematographer, (music and landscapes nailed it), somatic healer (how many people did you just help to process deep deep emotions through almost convulsive crying?), You're HOPE for humanity, and you encourage us all to GET THE HELLO OUTSIDE and grab life's beauties and sadness.
I was just about to sit down and do some computer work, and now I'm going outside to sit in the deck with my puppy in the mid morning sun!
Therapy
You've such a future.
Will look into how to support you!
One in a million.
Calm down
@@dowtie1997No need to put down others for simply showcasing enthusiasm
@@dowtie1997 people who can't handle other people's enthusiasm are telling much more about themselves than the who they're criticizing. You might want to ask yourself what about someone else's interest and passion causes you to negatively react; jealousy, inability to process feelings, who knows... But worth looking into
@@truestory923 stop putting in so much effort for likes on youtube. It doesn't mean anything.
Wow! What a truly inspiration adventure you (and Victoria) have been on. I'm planning on hiking the PCT but I also love cycling so I stumbled across your video with Victoria and now this one. I'm currently going through a breakup and I have truly felt inspired by your journey alone through Mexico and how time and the adventure of life can heal our hearts :) sending lots of best wishes for your next leg!
Beautiful! You had every reason to quit and no one would have blamed you for it, but you didn’t. You overcame and showed the rest of us what is possible when you don’t give up. You’re an inspiration of how to live your dream. Continue on with the help of the beautiful people of Mexico. I’m rooting for your success
Very beautiful how you are able to open up, express your feelings and be vulnerable - even more so in front of the camera. Thanks for sharing. Hope there will be another chapter for you and Victoria in the future
Hey Greg, been following you two since the beginning. I am a lurker and never comment, but this video really hit me hard having been in a similar situation where different motives pulled my apart from someone I loved. You are a legend for following your dream, and I don't know, or want to speculate at all, about the details between you and Victoria. But I really appreciate your heartfelt video, and it shows how strong and how beautiful a person you are that you can talk about this in such a positive light. I will keep following both of your adventures and I really wish you the best in Mexico
One of my favorite videos you've done man. Been listening to Alone in Oslo the last day on repeat. Beautiful journey you've been on together. Excited to follow along on this next part of your journey. All the best man
Thanks so much Drew, really appreciate it
Greg, I've been following you since the very first beginning of your Panamerican adventure, because it was a TH-cam suggestion even though you had hardly any subscribers or views yet. And look now: we're one year later and you've hit the +150 k subscribers' mark! One year later and you're in Mexico, one year and you've had to find back your spirit travelling alone. And you all did it!
I'm still enjoying every video you release, although sometimes we have to be a bit patient :) And also: your video-editing and story telling skills have grown so much. It's just amazing!!
Wishing you a good time in England and hope to see you back on your bike in a new video in the future! All the best, que te vaya bien!!
Toward the beginning of the video, you mentioned that the tent felt so big. I keep hearing the Police song, "The Bed's Too Big Without You".
What a journey of emotion you've experienced! I'm happy you are happier toward the end of the video. Cheers!
Greg- this experience may probably have been one of the hardest things you’ve had to go through in your life, but you persevered, overcame, and now you are a stronger person for it. Your strength and commitment to your core values is a shining example to us all. I’m so glad I subscribed to your channel a few episodes after you started this journey- some of the best content on TH-cam. Thank you.
Well I cried laughing at the guy with the 2 kids ‘Alaska!!!’. Journeys contain so many elements and you show them all, the good and not so good. Sending you both peace and happiness in the future. Remember the good times. This is the best cycle touring series and there are some very good ones. Thank you for everything 🙌
I wasn't crying until your birthday day alone, I know that feeling. Thank you for showing this incredible road. The pictures with your family are pure gold. Anoher Masterpiece video. Can't wait to see your videos crossing south of Mexico and Central America.
Thank you for your raw honesty! So sorry your adventure took such a turn! What an encouragement this video will be to others who find themselves in the middle of something that they do not want to go through I really appreciate and enjoy your videos and will look forward to the next one when it comes. Blessings to you!
Hi, Greg. I'm sorry to hear about the separation with Victoria, but well, everyone makes their own decisions and you should treasure that time together like gold because you looked very good together. If your route through Argentina brings you to Misiones, I would be very happy to give you accommodation and be part of the realization of your dreams! Greetings!
Sorry for my english, its justo your spanglish😅
The first video of this length that I just watched-didn't skip, just watched. Absolutely incredible
I've been looking forward to this new episode to drop for so so long and following your updates on Instagram. The emotions that you convey of the highs and lows of this adventure are so genuine... Incredible editing, I feel like every episode takes it to another level, and your music selection is so good too, you are an incredible story teller Greg...
I’ve been waiting to see your adventure continue. ❤ Thank you for sharing and showing your authenticity for life and love. I can’t wait to see more. 🎉💕
man, i have no words. i clicked this video immediately when i saw it. wishing you well from back in London, this is so hard to see. you are so very strong, i couldnt do this. props to you.
the fact you said goodbye on good terms really says a lot about both if your character though
Yes , and put it on the Internet. involves a lot of maturity.
@@caelgrayheavens1234 shut up hater. utter clown youve probably never in your life ended a relationship amicably you oaf.
be quiet hater
Absolutely inspiring! This is by far the best video you have made so far. And you are very brave
Está es la segunda vez que veo este video y otra vez estoy llorando 😢. Espero lo mejor para ti y para Victoria ❤ los queremos.
Buddy, I waited so long for a new video, this was a shock and it’s also a very dramatic plot twist for the viewers. But I cannot imagine how hard this must have been for you personally! Love from Germany! 💙
Greg and Victoria--love to you both on navigating the roads of your hearts and the roads of our world. Thank you, Greg, for the honesty and painful beauty of sharing what it means to be human, and to love, and to let go. Your magnificent adventure is part of a life well-lived--I am humbled and grateful that you are sharing it. Onward!
Oh Greg, I've been through the comments and basically all I am thinking has been said but I still feel the urge to tell you about it. Thank you for this video, thank you for being honest, and raw, and vulnerable. For not hiding those low moments. I am having some low days myself and this is all I needed to see, that it's okay to accept them, feel them, talk about them, and live through them as well.
At the same time I feel like I've just watched a great movie, a very visually pleasant one, with perfect music (raw, emotional, thanks Tom!), what else do we need? For you to have some lovely time home with friends and family, and then do whatever you feel like doing really.
I'll chip in to support somehow, thank you again, gracias!!
Si llegas algún día a Argentina, tendrás a mi familia para recibirte :)
Thank you. Just thank you.
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I have never seen anything so incredible. Thank you for sharing your journey with us and the incredible people you met. I am so very sorry for the pain you went through. It hurt to watch. But I loved seeing you gain your joy again.
Blown away by this. An amazing courageous thing to do riding a bike across the Americas, but even more courageous to wear your heart on your sleeve in a way that very few would.
This is so so so so so beautiful on so many levels. Thank you for making and sharing this. Your heart is beautiful!
Путешествовать по миру на велосипеде - это самый лучший способ познать его.
Да, это тяжело!
Это выматывает!
Это проверяет на прочность!
Но, как же это вознаграждает!
Это была самая лучшая серия из всех!
Просто потрясающе!
Молодец!
👍
What an absolutely incredible video. I love how you talked through the development of your emotional state as you travelled. As someone who has solo travelled I relate to a lot of that and it was so cool to see someone else be so vulnerable about it. Well done!
Greg, thank you for sharing so honestly and openly. I have been watching your whole journey but this is the first time that I am commenting. This video is truly a masterpiece. You are such a positive and inspiring person. Wishing you the absolute best as you continue your magical journey. Cheering you on, buddy!
This is one of the if not the most beautiful video ive ever watched here on youtube.
This is why TH-cam is so amazing... your type of content. I'm happy to see a nice ending and here to say that you don't have to prove to yourself or anyone else what you're capable of doing. Saludos from Argentina-we'll greet you with open arms! 🤗
Wow your videos are a piece of art. But what makes them so beautiful is your ability to stay true and honest to yourself, thankyou for your vulnerability and showing the truth, its truly amazing what you are doing and especially what you've gone through.
Dear Greg, thank you for your courage to share your deep emotions and thoughts. Winston Churchill once said "If you're going through hell, keep going" and you just proved it right. You will emerge stronger after this tough experience. I keep my fingers crossed and remember, you are not alone!
Thank you so much Marek. really appreciate the support, and that quote definitely resonates! Thanks for sharing it
You make beautiful videos. They are some of the best I have seen on TH-cam. Thank you for sharing your adventures. I admire your bravery, resilience, and artistry. Stay safe.
So sorry about Victoria. I've been waiting to continue following your journey. This has been such a great series to follow. Thank you for continuing on so that we can go with you.
Greg, I'm from Perú, and something incredible happened just a few days ago. I met a guy on his way to Argentina cycling from Alaska. His name is Rodri and he is from Wales. My friends and I were making our way from Lima (Perú) to Arequipa and Rodri reached us when we were about to get to Tanaka wich is a small town that belongs to Caraveli (Arequipa). As usually when I meet someone doing this on his bike, I´ve been asking him a lot of questions because a love cycling too, and since he is from Wales and he was explaining us where Wales is located, I remembered you because in one of your videos you said you were from England so I asked him about you and surprisingly he told me that you and Rodri were in a Whatsapp group. I just coudn´t believe it. Now I know that you´re coming back to Mexico in some weeks to retake your trip. I´d love to meet you someday when you get to Perú and give you a big hug. I met you because of Victoria, so I´ve been following your yt channel and I hope you can overcome this difficult moment very soon. Best wishes to you from Perú. Thank you for what you´re doing. 🤗
PD: Sorry about my English, I´m trying to learn more and more everyday.
We ................. love you! Life is difficult at times but it always gets better as long as we have life!
That was the best thing I've watched in a long time. The spirit of adventure, the willingness to get lost, and the courage to move on is inspiring. This has encouraged me to get lost on two wheels and find home wherever I end up. Cheers!
Can't wait to watch it tomorrow! Very happy you decided to share it.
Amazing journey so far Greg. The wisdom you must be gaining along the way will serve you for the rest of your life.
Has All the qualities of a "Bike Wanderer " video. Brilliant.Thanks. All the best
yes we miss Lohan very much
Thank you for sharing an incredibly vulnerable moment in your life & in the journey. Thank you for bringing us along with you in every single way. I was in tears watching this. Break ups are not easy but especially when Victoria was your person on this epic adventure. It is so lovely to see you still care about one another, love one another. I tour with my husband and I could not imagine suddenly being without him. You have done a remarkable job on this video. All of your videos are remarkable. Your storytelling is incredible. We are cheering for you and are so excited when another one of your videos is available on youtube. We will gladly watch hours of your journeys. Keep going, Greg!!
Great Video, great Story. Looking forward to the next part. Tank you very much.
Happy to see you continuing. GREAT video!! Thank you so much for sharing all of it. YOU are help us, you are helping me. See you in a next one!
Wow. You INSPIRE me, Greg. Resilience. Perseverance. Seeing how, as I see it, GOD is taking care of you. The right people helping you at the right times. Bits of companionship to encourage you. I loved seeing some of your family. Trust we will see you, sooner than this last wait we “endured” to hear from you. GOD SPEED.
So happy to see a new video. Beautiful video, incredible vulnerability. Thank you for sharing.
nothing could be more perfect than this closing scene.
Thank you Greg and I mean it. I have always wanted to do the thing you had done yet couldn’t find the courage to do so. Whenever I feel like I am suffocating in this civil life, I watch this series which you kindly shared with us.
I wish the best for you and Victoria!
Dear Greg, I struggled this morning talking myself into another bike ride. Watching your video will help me keep going. I am sorry for your heartbreak but your immense will power and love for people has helped you overcome what would make most humans turn back. I wish you were riding the west coast of Mexico so we could offer you refuge at our home.
keep it going Greg, i started watching your vids at a very dark time in my life, for entertainment and distraction. Now i watch for for inspiration
Hey Greg , merci pour ce tres bon moment , de partage , et de nous partager ces tranches de vie ,douloureuses ,intimes et plein de subtilités , tu m'as fais verser une larme !! encore merci !!
Each of your videos is just so beautiful, but this one is even more intense. Your biking adventure is a real symbol of a life journey, with all its challenges, happiness, sorrow, madness, ups and downs. You’re an amazing person doing an amazing adventure in an amazing world out there. Stay strong, stay healthy and stay safe. Enjoy the weddings, seeing your family and can’t wait to see you back in a next episode of your journey of life.
Our hearts are with you Greg! Clearly your adventure is not just through the landscapes external to you, but they are also internal/emotional adventures. No doubt you (and we) would prefer to still have Victoria traveling with you but we're so glad you found your solo-traveling mojo. You are such a positive spirit and have an uncanny ability to see the good in everything... much like the late Iohan "Bike Wanderer." I hope your visit back to England was restorative and we are looking forward to following your ongoing bike adventure. Cheers!!!
This is the second time I have watched this video and I want to say thank you! The video is heartfelt, honest and amazing. Your emotion is so sharp and exposed. I might suggest you compile your experience(s) into a book. It would be something I would look forward to reading. Good luck on your travels and take care!
Adelante amigo Creg... honestamente, estaba pensando si abría tu vídeo cuando me apareció, y compruebo que fue una buena decisión. Es un gran video y creo entender al menos algo lo difícil que este siendo, pero recuerda que también para ella ha de estar siéndolo. Se ve que los 2 son grandiosos seres humanos y todos estamos en el camino aprendiendo. Ojalá que cada quien encuentre lo que esté buscando, aún sin saberlo. Disfruta México y que tú paso por este grandioso país te llene de cosas buenas" en el corazón y en el estómago...Paz
Happy to see another update. We're all rooting for you! Thanks for being a proper inspiration.
My heart broke for you and Victoria at the beginning of this video. By the end, I was blown away by your courage. The scenery was spectacular! I was so proud and happy when you went to that gorgeous waterfall and took us with you. The canyon before Mexico City was mind blowingly stunning! I hope your trip home was amazing and rejuvenating. I'm looking forward to your next video, as always!
I think this is the most touching and human thing I've ever watched
Awesome Stamina, perseverance, and most of all a huge accomplishment and I complain after doing a 50 mile ride on pavement! After watching this video I’ll learn to keep my mouth shut! Thanks for the life lesson on how to prepare mentally to accomplish what ever in life!
Thanks for letting me know what real mental strength feels like!
Wonderful video and narrative, Gregorio. Randomly came across this and did not intend to watch past minute 1, but then got captured and couldn't leave it. Having lived and bike toured in Mexico myself, your adventures and observations about the places and people of Mexico gave me a huge wave of nostalgia and really tickled my soul. I wish you the best and look forward to future vids.
brilliant as always, buddy ❤
Thank you friend
Thanks for this Greg. It's been so great to follow your journey with all the ups and downs. Cheering you on from Sweden!
