I'm in the seventies, an old man now, though my body is still strong and my heart is still young. I lived and traveled in many of the countries you visited: Mexiko, Guatemala, Colombia;- i like to travel with you because your mind is strong and free! In my life two times I was building me a housing out of ruins in the wilderness, like you do now. So I enjoy travelling with you. Like you ways!❤🌞
These videos are the a perfect mix of being very high quality, very interesting and very calm at the same time. It's some of the best stuff I've seen on youtube for a long long time!
I love the fact that you are super mellow and calm. So many TH-camrs these days think they have to be super high energy all the time. You just steadily press on and do what is needed each day, and I love it.
Martijn I started watching because of the cabin build but this is an incredible journey. Thank you for sharing all these wonderful places and your life. I am 63 and have only left the comfort of my home town a hand full of times.
Found your channel through the Italian house remodel, but very much enjoying this series as well! Thanks for putting so much work into the editing of these videos....very good footage, and nicely put together! Cheers!
WOW 😮. What a life & journey! Hope it goes on for many more segments but I also love your construction on your cabins in the mountains 🏔. GREAT JOB ON BOTH. 🙋🏼♀️🇺🇸
I can see these 3 (or maybe 4?) videos turned into a documentary on the travel channel. You've done a phenomenal job of filming your travels! I feel like I'm there too.
Your videos capture the essence of your travel. You have managed to capture the topography, the sun and it’s dance, and even the ocean’s running to shore. I’m from San Diego, and watching you ride down some of the highways I’ve traveled in Mexico makes me homesick.
God….. I’ve been in Central America after finishing Highschool and seeing your video stirred up a weird mix of reminiscence, happiness, pure beauty inside of me… thank you. So gorgeous. Amazing frames. Nice story. Also you’ve got quite big balls in some situations haha
What a consummate story teller you are Martijn and how you illustrate your travels ! It is like a book you cannot put down and of course so much more !
Ik geniet echt van het kijken!! je hebt echt een gave om een 'video' verhaal te vertellen, echt vakwerkschap, mooi gefilmd en gemonteerd! keep up the good work!
I have binged all your Italy videos, which are excellent, but your photography and videography really comes out in these videos. Absolutely stellar work!
These videos are so well put together, I feel like I am with Martijn all the way, every inch of the journey. So exciting and at the same time ever so calming. Never seen anything like this before. Wow!!!
This is the sort of journey I will never get to do, and perhaps I don't even want to do it. But the way you tell and visualize is so inspirational, and this beats anything you will find on any streaming channel. And what an amazing traveler you are! I love this!
Hi Martin , came across you by chance on TH-cam . Really enjoy the content and narration . So bought your book this evening . Well done , it’s great stuff. Cian
What a tremendous documentary! I'm from Utah originally and I always forget just how stunning the landscape of Southern Utah is! It's been many years since I've been there. Your video made me smile. Thank you.
TH-cam couldn’t have served us this series at a better time. So happy to have discovered your channel and this series specifically as we dream of doing the same route on 4 wheels. Thanks for creating such meaningful, powerful videos that inspire us to travel. Can only imagine how great the book is. Ordering it soon x
Trying to catch up with your bike ride and enjoying so much what I've seen so far. It's been amazing! Can't wait for the next part of the journey. Thank you so much for letting us come along on such a meaningful part of your life.
Being from Costa Rica I have to say I'm a bit sad you rushed through, although I understand you being sick of the rain if you didn't grow up with it. Hopefully you get to visit again during dry season and explore the country a bit more.
So glad you were able to safely complete your journeys - that you were largely prepared. Dozens of bikers, hikers and vanners go missing every year - someties never heard from or nit even found dead. It takes a true sense of optimism to be a lone traveler, but lots of people, inclluding women go for it and get home safely.
Love from India, I watched the complete series in one stretch and I loved every nanosecond of it. Watching the whole series I didnt utter a single world, forgot about my phone notifications,,,, There is this sense of calmness, serene feel and motivating vibe that i felt,, waiting for the next part. Great Great Work,, Loved it
Wow I needed to find this series! I think I had forgotten the beauty in just being in the moment as you travel. I’m always worried about what and where will come next. But your storytelling and your perspective has such a presentness about it that is what travel and adventure is about!
I was so excited this evening to see the second episode was out. I have so enjoyed your photography and your journey. Your story is beautiful both physically and spiritually. Waiting for more of this journey and your progress on the mountain cabin in Italy. Buenos Dias
This is my second time watching the series (4/4) and it has affected me yet again. I have laughed, I have felt peace, I have shaken my head in amazement, I have been grateful... I will likely be back to travel with you again. Thank you, Martijn. And yes, I love spending time at the Italian Alp project, too. :-)
This is a really lovely video, beautifully put together - well thought out and nicely balanced between photography/video footage and really nicely narrated with a calm reflective demeanour! Thank you for bringing us along! I am buying the book now.
Oh my gosh Martijn! This was fantastic!! Was just watching the scaffolding go up & now suddenly I’m in South America!! 😆 I might haveta get the book… I lived in Cancun 1980-84. You’ve ignited so many memories tonight! Thank God I have an avocado, 2corn tortillas, & a can of pozole soup in the house or I might’ve had to go out for some Mexican Fare!!😋 I’m getting few chores done since you’ve crossed my path! Tho More Fun watching you do yours!!😂🤣👍🏻😘
Amazing, just amazing video----brave soul you are----you have had some scary moments with sickness----I watched 3/4 first, then backtracked. LOVE Mexico, Central America, South America, and I loved seeing it through your journey, Thank You Sir Martijn~
These videos are really well made. I love the sound design and the way you narrate the beautiful images. The pace of these and your cabin videos is great as well, almost meditative. Keep them coming! Curious about Colombia because my girlfriend is from there.
Thank you for the great content! Really pleasing for the eye and soul! It’s a shame you couldn’t spent more time in Nicaragua. It’s a gorgeous country. But that’s the beauty of these journeys. People can take the same Route even several times and it will still always be an unique experience. Made by Interactions, weather conditions, personal preferences and own life experience. Happy to watch more soon!
Wow. Why a beautiful trip... I'm impressed. Your living the dream . I'm truly happy for you. Be safe and have a great time. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I really enjoy watching. Thank you
WOW WHAT A BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY I WISH I WAS STILL YOUNG TO TRAVEL TO DIFFERENT COUNTRIES AND PLACES BUT I AM A OLD GRANNY AND I AND MY WONDERFUL HUSBAND DID LOTS OF TRAVELING BUT NOW MY COMPANY'S AND RANCH WORKERS NEED ME CLOSE BY THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR BEAUTIFUL VIDEO WITH ALL OF US
Martin, video so well done, extraordinary journey and experience….one person on a bicycle with the insight of a documentary film maker. Good on you all the days of your life for touching so many people in such a positive way…no violence, just a simple plan to see the world. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Beautiful series. I love the way you travel. Staying in some places for a longer time. Not just traveling through countries, but being part of the community. While I am stuck to my bed (stupid corona), you're cheering me up a bit, and making me feel calmer. I've seen your name before, but accidentally ended up on your channel. Great story telling. It would be great to interview you some day (I am a Dutch cycling journalist - and have got a small TH-cam channel.) After I get better. ;) Okay, lets go to part 3!
Just watching your videos about your journey makes me feel alive. Makes me wonder, how would I feel If I actually went on the road and made a journey of my own.
Another fabulous video Martijn, thank you for posting it for all to see. So good. The chooks are loving life….. can’t wait for them to lay eggs….the plumbing is coming together really well, so much work….. it will pay off in the long run & keep you dry inside. Also a toilet & bathroom… what great conviences you will have. It’s all coming together……. Pity about that bad storm…. You dealt with it so well. Got it all in order & on it goes…. I look forward to your next video…. Stay well & happy. Cheers Noeline. 🇦🇺👍🐣😀
Really enjoying these. It's the kind of trip I will most likely never make but somehow you make me feel like I am traveling on that bike with you, well done. Quite a contrast with setting up shop in the Italian mountains.
So honest. I can't wait to see more videos, especially your permanent cabin build. The current one is pleasant, but I'd want a storager unit if that were meant for long term.
I am so impressed. The epic story, the amazing storytelling, the great videos and those gorgeous photos. I love this serie of vídeos and I don’t want to finish them. Thank you for sharing and congratulations.
Amazing video summary of your journey. I rekindled my love for cycling last year and this is making my stomach turn with butterflies because of how much it makes me want to do a journey of my own. And love that you have a Surly bike, I'm a tall rider and from my research this is one of the best value for money options I found-even though I haven't been able to find a dealership that has large Surly bikes in stock in Europe yet.. Anyway, this is really inspirational!
You've got a new sub Martijin, beautiful work mate. This is so peaceful yet inspiring. You do the perfect blend. And your story telling is absolutely astounding. Keep up the beautiful work mate.

This guy did all this - and carried a drone and a camera through the whole thing so we could watch it. Legend.
Fireplace sound with Rain and Thunder sound🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤
th-cam.com/video/Q_plIkDeyyg/w-d-xo.html
And enough battery packs to keep those cameras charged… truely amazing
You think he did it lone? Then how did he manged to be filmed when he was on a bike?
@@JakobSimon1 those are tracking drone shots. That's part of what makes it so incredible.
@@JakobSimon1 The drones can track you. Technology! 😀

Agree!
This is what talent looks like.

another reason why i hate mrbeast
Amen. Reason my favorite fishing channels are Key West Waterman and Rokkit Kit. Same reserve.
I don't watch those energy drink kinda dudes anymore. Highly irritating. Yeah this dude is so nice and calm.
Exactly what I was thinking… why some people have to speak so quickly and loud… to make things more exciting… they are what they are…
Your channel has become my favorite on TH-cam . the quality is outstanding
Mine too its so relaxing watching them. Your such a good film maker and photographer. Many thanks.
Same.. One of the few channels where you feel morally obliged to watch at 1x speed only.
Fireplace sound with Rain and Thunder sound🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤
th-cam.com/video/Q_plIkDeyyg/w-d-xo.html
What a journey Martijn. Looking forward to part 3. Also looking forward to more from your Italian mountain property. :-)
@Peter I couldn't say it any better. Cheering for all your adventures, @Martijn ! 👍
Yes me too! Can’t wait for the #8 episode of the Italian cabin ✌️👍🏻
Fireplace sound with Rain and Thunder sound🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤

Better than anything on Netflix 🙏
Incredible high quality and a really inspiring personality!

What amazing adventures. I'm blown away by the beauty of our world. Thanks for sharing.
WOW!! I was out of my "comfort zone" just watching...omg!
WOW 😮. What a life & journey! Hope it goes on for many more segments but I also love your construction on your cabins in the mountains 🏔. GREAT JOB ON BOTH. 🙋🏼♀️🇺🇸

This is EASILY the best channel on TH-cam

Riveting to watch, fabulous camerawork and editing. Can’t wait for next episode.
Man oh man what an adventure!! And you're also a great documentary/movie maker!! Absolutely love to watch your videos 🤩👌
Absolutely fantastic production and story. Very inspiring
God….. I’ve been in Central America after finishing Highschool and seeing your video stirred up a weird mix of reminiscence, happiness, pure beauty inside of me… thank you. So gorgeous. Amazing frames. Nice story. Also you’ve got quite big balls in some situations haha
I love the way this is put together. Congrats and what a freaking journey. I watched this video twice and I can't wait for part 3.

Wat een prachtige manier om je verhaal te vertellen, als of ik bij je aan tafel zit. Erg boeiend. Thanks
Trying to catch up with your bike ride and enjoying so much what I've seen so far. It's been amazing! Can't wait for the next part of the journey. Thank you so much for letting us come along on such a meaningful part of your life.

The digital online world allows to follow a 21st Century Nomad . Absolutely amazing journey, beautifully videotaped and narrated 🇮🇪🙌❤️
What incredible landscapes. I hope one day my travels take me there.

Watching the whole series I didnt utter a single world, forgot about my phone notifications,,,, There is this sense of calmness, serene feel and motivating vibe that i felt,, waiting for the next part.

The high cinematic quality of your journey is some of the best travel vlogs that I've seen. Looking forward to the next installment. Thank you

That Fuego hike is out of this world. For me personally it's one of the best experiences of my life.

Thanks for share this bro!

Once again, Martijn, thank you so much for sharing your life. Many thanks from Brazil.
There are us who are free, but we always must remember that "we can't grab the wind, but live out our dreams".
This has been awesome. Thanks for sharing this story here!
First 2 episodes done, the journey is epic, the story telling spectacular. Just brilliant.
Amazing, just amazing video----brave soul you are----you have had some scary moments with sickness----I watched 3/4 first, then backtracked. LOVE Mexico, Central America, South America, and I loved seeing it through your journey, Thank You Sir Martijn~
This is beautiful! A very meditative watch, feeling very inspired to get back out cycle touring.
Hello from Cambodia!
Awareness!
Thank you so much Martijn for sharing!
Man I love your narration of the journey, I could listen to you talking all day, so relaxing 🙏
These videos are really well made. I love the sound design and the way you narrate the beautiful images. The pace of these and your cabin videos is great as well, almost meditative. Keep them coming! Curious about Colombia because my girlfriend is from there.
Amazing storytelling. Superb photography and documentation!

Just watching your videos about your journey makes me feel alive. Makes me wonder, how would I feel If I actually went on the road and made a journey of my own.
Looked forward to this video so much, thanks a lot!
Me too
So many have already said what I’m thinking about the quality of your videos. Honestly I feel the places I’m not just watching!
Thanks
This guy is such an amazing storyteller. I can't believe how glued I am to this series.
Absolutely EPIC! So well done. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Another fabulous video Martijn, thank you for posting it for all to see. So good.

Thanks for posting and sharing. Nice to see the places you traveled to and through.
This is so good. Thank you. 👍🙂
Martin your videos are so interesting and enjoyable to watch including your Italian journey love it 💪👍😀
amaging experience ,,, perfect presentation
Such an amazing trip, beautifully captured (I know how it is cycling and documenting what you are doing at the same time) and beautifully narrated 🙌
Netflix really need to get you your own show. Love this
Amazing journey… and that lightning at the end, so scary!
Thank you for making my day here 🤍
I am looking forward to the documentary. I enjoyed every second of this.
Man what an adventure! Would love to do something similar but on foot.
Looked forward to this video dropping. Thank you! 🙏🏻
You know what real Freedom is...💙👍🏽
Amazing, looking forward to the next part :)
Really enjoying these. It's the kind of trip I will most likely never make but somehow you make me feel like I am traveling on that bike with you, well done. Quite a contrast with setting up shop in the Italian mountains.
I am truly just enthralled in your journey, simply captivating! ❤
So honest. I can't wait to see more videos, especially your permanent cabin build. The current one is pleasant, but I'd want a storager unit if that were meant for long term.
I am so impressed. The epic story, the amazing storytelling, the great videos and those gorgeous photos. I love this serie of vídeos and I don’t want to finish them. Thank you for sharing and congratulations.
Amazing video summary of your journey. I rekindled my love for cycling last year and this is making my stomach turn with butterflies because of how much it makes me want to do a journey of my own. And love that you have a Surly bike, I'm a tall rider and from my research this is one of the best value for money options I found-even though I haven't been able to find a dealership that has large Surly bikes in stock in Europe yet.. Anyway, this is really inspirational!
Epic! Amazing quality, amazing story, just fantastic!
It all looks beautiful, you are a lucky guy to have seen so much of our planet.
Bedankt weer Martijn!
Really glad I found your channel quality content very inspiring and down to earth. Don't mind an episode more haha
Could watch this all day long.
This is so amazing and inspiring! The beatiful cinematics and pictures, and i just really enjoy your vibe, voice and way to tell stories.
You've got a new sub Martijin, beautiful work mate. This is so peaceful yet inspiring. You do the perfect blend. And your story telling is absolutely astounding. Keep up the beautiful work mate.
