How are you doing now you have to stay in the same country for a whyle? Do u feel like sharing a random day in an African quaranteen? Bet is pretty different than Europe! Are editing and culture shock enough to keep u busy?
I actually have 2 questions that I’m really curious about. 1) Do you take malaria tablets? Or anything like that? Do you use anything to prevent? 2) Mathilda, how do you manage things when you’re on your period? Do you just buy tampons/pads where you are at that moment? Or do you have a menstrual cup or something else? (You don’t have to answer if you think this is too personal, I was just thinking about how I would manage this when I would go on a very long bike trip)
What a top bloke Samuel is, I love the ethos of just getting on a bike and going, no frills and no expensive gear, just riding. Good man! Hope you are all doing ok? Keep the videos coming, I think they're great 👍
Great interview, honest, informative, natural. I have traveled to over 120 countries with a small backpack, but this has got me intrigued about bike touring. I was in Istanbul when Trump locked down flights from Europe, so I headed back to Orlando anticipating a shutdown. We have not been too restricted, and things are opening up. I walk ten miles a day for exercise....and watch the bikes blow by me on the trails. Very inspiring listening to your tales. I sincerely wish you guys safe travels, as you are living proof that the world can be traveled by almost anyone, on any budget.
Thank you Barry, and sorry to hear your travels got interrupted. Hope you will be able to head out on new adventures soon! And definitely look in to bike touring of course 😉
I would like to travel around the world too. But not alone. If anyone is interested...I live in Europe. Just one big question. How do you get all that money for to travel and keep on going traveling. Here is some advice for the plandemic: Bacteria are single-celled, living organisms. They have a cell wall and all the components necessary to survive and reproduce, although some may derive energy from other sources. Viruses are not considered to be “living” because they require a host cell to survive long-term, for energy, and to reproduce. So a VIRUS has to be INJECTED. Just like a VACCINE. www.bitchute.com/video/uWM6YT2NwIAP/?fbclid=IwAR3C_Khzx3d9t4Vg2d2fXN3QWgvSYSqocU1tIdLYS51DbaIFO4FQnFXXIbQ
@@Knarket7608 Thank you for the invite....I still need to wait 3,5 years before I can travel big time.....my youngest is then 18. But if you are in the Netherlands I might go a bit...depending on the strange world right now.
Great video.keep it up and take care.love this.I came to Germany through the land from Sri Lanka. Unfortunately there was no mobile phones or credit cards at that time.every things are only memories! that was 1973.
This is brilliant! I love Samuels spirit and how positive and excited he is about cycling. And deciding to cycle the Sahara just by flipping a coin makes him a real legend! 😄 @Matilda and Peyman, stay safe and healthy in Gambia. I'm in the same situation as you guys. I'm stuck in Laos and also waiting that the borders will open again! Let's keep our fingers crossed that we can continue our journeys soon. ✌
Amazing, i have the same goal (bike trip to Africa, around Africa, maybe 2021). But i think - only possible with expensive bike, thanks for a change my mind and a lot of inspirations.
I've been following you from the beginning and you both have inspired me to follow your lifestyle. I've traveled Europe and now live in Bulgaria,but now I must head to Asia,and I feel the only way to travel is by bike. Keep the great content coming and safe onward journey,kind regards John.
hello Matilda and Peyman always excited for your new videos enjoyed the content of fellow travelers and how they managed their experiences stay safe if your ever in Calif please would love to show both of you around the area
This guy made a good decision to just get a bicycle and get out in nature! There's a You Tube channel of a guy travelling on cheap, secondhand folding bicycles, and he does it on a very tight budget. Your Interviewee will encourage more people to try to do it for themselves.
Fantastic advanture! I met a guy once on my trip from Italy to Poland. He was traveling home (UK) from Czech Republic on 10E bike. He had little rucksack on his back. I asked him what does he carry, and he said that it was mostly books ;) (but he slept in hotels/motes, so he didn't need all the camping equipment). I hope this Covid situation will allow to travel very soon! Have fun! :-)
Thank you! Yes, sometimes I feel travelling is as easy or difficult as you make it. Always great to see when people are not limited by their equipment!
Excellent video. Persons having the urge to go bicycle touring and experience adventure are just exceptional. Thx for your high quality videos and sharing your experiences.
Very cool. I'm just investing on my first bike for touring, and we always put so much effort on getting the most expensive, because our bias tells us that we need it, that we forget that you can virtually do it with anything. And now Samuel is streaming games while cycling at home! Great guy! XD
Looks like you guys are inspiring many people and i am one of them , here soon when I have the gear I need I will be starting my own bike adventure. I'm from the mid states but the hwy 101 is where I'd like to start the journey's for 1 yr . Please come too the US for bike tour . I would definitely make sure I have all the gear to ride with you guys around here.
Hi I'm watching all of your videos hope you can come to the Philippines.. I will be happy to accommodate you.. I have a passion for biking too..keep healthy and safe God bless
ohh thanks man! im Hungarian, and im thinking which f.expensive bike could be good for me..but now perhaps i just go back to my country and buy there something. for 100 euro ....
What a nice person Samuel is, dove straight into the deep end, i do wish him all the best for the future world tour. Good video as always, Peyman and Matilda, stay safe and keep on Truckin.
I would recommend a local bike tour for beginners so they can get a feel of riding short distances to a camp site in their state or country and practice camping out and carrying all their gear on the bike before adventuring out and far away from their point of origin. A well known bicycle tourist by the name of Darren Alff gives great pointers and advice for beginner bike tourists.
I think it will be great if you start making a Podcast series. You have a lot of interesting stories of your bike trips . Anyway great video many Thanks.
Thanks for watching! We don't have any since most are not valid if you travel for as long as we do, and the few that would be are incredibly expensive...
J'ai un vieux vélo de marque Peugeot , est-ce que , après lui avoir changé les jantes ,les roues ,le moyeux....ect. je peux l'utiliser pour un long voyage de près de 6000 km ? merci.
Having been on the road for whole my life...backpacking, seakayaking and last year's long-distance walking. Everything breaks down. So called good expensive brands can be a illusion and cheap ones can be a kit you use for years. Bought many years ago in the tropics a bike for 30 euro, backpack on the front and just paddling. I always say: use your imagination and you will have the best travels. FB kayak cobber Anyway I don't like cycling but maybe because I am from Holland.
Respect! I got some budget to buy a bike and equipment to hit the road in the summers and holidays that i have during Europe and eventually go to morroco my motherland through west africa, what do you think about buying a full biked equiped instead of buying it to pieces as u did? what about disc brakes steel frames , i saw a salsa marrakesh, still lost for what kind of bike i should be lookin for, any advice? thanks
Thanks 😊 Definitely easier to buy a full bike, especially if you don't have a strong opinion on exactly which components you want. One big plus of building your own bike is that then you know how it works so you will be able to fix it if needed, but you can of course study your store bought bike too. Steel frame is a good idea, many people like disc brakes but we chose rim brakes because discs are a little more vulnerable (so you need to be careful for example if you transport the bike in a car) and spare parts are more difficult to find/more complicated to fix. But from Europe to Morocco non of this should be a big problem.
Happy you liked it! Sorry to say we don't have that much information about Samuels gear, but at least his tent and I think some other of his gear was from Decathlon. We avoid moving around at the moment even if we are allowed to, travelling is not much appreciated when everyone is trying to limit the spread of the virus as much as possible 😊
Yes, my rural area is a similar situation however we are permitted to engage in “essential activities” which includes riding a bicycle so I try to get out for a few miles each day. Have y’all had the need to use your backup chia seed stash?
I have found I actually see more on a bike. When I hike I tend to look a meter ahead of my feet, on a bike you are forced to pay attention to your surroundings.
Sam cycled for 4 months from Hungary to The Gambia, unfortunately we don't know his exact route but it is at least 6500 km. Someone in the comments identified the bike as a Winora Super Trekking from the early 90s 😊
Brilliant thanks that was such fun cheers guys , my question is where did peymans inspiration come from to want to travel by bike ,and Matilda what was yours.
If you have any question for us, please comment below! We are going to answer them in a Q&A TH-cam video! Thank you for participating 😊🙌
Do you want to go for a bike ride with me and my friends when you get to NYC?? We know all the good camping spots
What's something you wish you would have known before you started your trip?
How are you doing now you have to stay in the same country for a whyle? Do u feel like sharing a random day in an African quaranteen? Bet is pretty different than Europe! Are editing and culture shock enough to keep u busy?

Samuel is a giant -- going through the Sahara on a coin flip. That's the spirit, brother!
What a top bloke Samuel is, I love the ethos of just getting on a bike and going, no frills and no expensive gear, just riding. Good man!
Hope you are all doing ok?
Keep the videos coming, I think they're great 👍
Couldn't agree more! We are all good, hope you are too! 😊🙌🏾
Very motivational interview
Travelling without plans is much more enthralling than those for which deep researches have made on Google.

Wonderful and informative interview. Glad San brought up the saddle, which is seldom talked about. I hope you talk about the saddles you prefer.
Wow, impressive Samuel. I did the Camino de Santiago in 2016, the whole way. Keep going
I am simply amazed...guy undersells himself tremendously...cannot have been that easy!
Great interview and Samuel is an absolute legend. The guy is very positive about everything.
Thanks, yes indeed he is!

Should do it on a fixed gear huffy beach cruiser
So inspiration Real heroes...keep going
Great Interview... I am still trying to gather courage to such mind blowing adventure tour
I can't stop myself repeating after Nomad when he says "Ammazging" 😂
Oh my god. It's unbliveable. I enjoyed your hard working. You are amazing and your manner inspired me a lot.
Wow I am felt pumped up
cool. I took a 90's Raleigh Amazon from England to Israel, India to Himalaya to Indonesia and Spain and Portugal....basic bikes rule
What planning and travel tools (maps etc...) have u been using during your europe to Africa tour?
Where to next once the borders open?
Keep up the good work guys, great videos, sending love from the UK
Thanks so much!

Great story. You both look good.. revived a little. Good energy to you all while the world gets through this terrible thing.
Thank you, the same to you! 😊
Love it. What a nice guy. And my takeaway.....'get out there'!!!
Absolutely! 🙌🏾
My friend bought a new $150 bike in Vietnam and rode to India with it.. very minimal issues.. no need for a fancy bike. No excuses.
Exactly, happy to heat you friend had a good trip! 😊🙌🏾

So inspiring. Good Luck Samuel....loved this video....3❤
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!
Crocs for bike touring ... I love it ! That’s 3 of US.
The best touring shoe 😁✌🏽
There should be a special classification of low-tech easy-riding cyclists called “Croc Tourers”. You guys have the best attitude.
I would recommend a local bike tour for beginners so they can get a feel of riding short distances to a camp site in their state or country and practice camping out and carrying all their gear on the bike before adventuring out and far away from their point of origin. A well known bicycle tourist by the name of Darren Alff gives great pointers and advice for beginner bike tourists.
I agree, I think a key point here is that Sam set out without a plan just to try it, and was ready to give up the bike anytime if he didn't enjoy it.
Thankyou so much for the postcard ! Stay safe
Happy to hear you received it! 🙌🏽😊
I think it will be great if you start making a Podcast series. You have a lot of interesting stories of your bike trips . Anyway great video many Thanks.

This is what cycling is about.
for someone from US planning to tour europe and then Africa, is it worth taking a bike from the US?
Great video once again! All my love people!
Thank you, happy to hear you liked it! 😊
Thanks for the many nice videos you share. We wonder what kind of health/travel insurance do you have and from which company?

I have found I actually see more on a bike. When I hike I tend to look a meter ahead of my feet, on a bike you are forced to pay attention to your surroundings.
I agree! Also when you go a little bit faster, like on a bike, you notice changes a bit more. Like smells and sounds.
Brilliant.

Dude is a hero
What brand of bike ,how many miles ,how long time!
Sam cycled for 4 months from Hungary to The Gambia, unfortunately we don't know his exact route but it is at least 6500 km. Someone in the comments identified the bike as a Winora Super Trekking from the early 90s 😊
