Beautifully made video! Captures everything I love about bikepacking.
Wasn't expecting you here
@@bilge677 same
oh, hey wyd here?
Didn't know you are a bikepacker too lol. Just yesterday I bought two plane tickets for me and my friend to Serbia. It's gonna be a great month-long adventure:)
@@notthomasjoel have a safe journey and enjoy
This was not just a TH-cam video. It was a work of art. A cinematic adventure. Fresh, uplifting, really felt like I was there. And the sunflowers… oh the sunflowers :) tysm Bernardo
I'm unable to explain why, but yes, oh the sunflowers. I've seen sunflowers fields plenty of times but for some reason the shot at 28:37 caught me off guard. Made me tear up for no apparent reason. Maybe the way it portrayed the simplicity of life and the beauty of it all. All the stress we have in our normal everyday lifes makes us forget sometimes that being happy shouldn't be that complicated after all...
Hi @@greekterr0ru-i13, I felt the same. The exact same shot made me tear up for no apparent reason.
My cancer treatement is almost over...I have been in intense treatement in hospital for over 10 months...and now my body is weak, out of shape and need maintanence...so i am looking to buy a cycle and go on a trip like this....this inspire me so much...and the video is soo much fun to watch...thank you...keep it up...❤❤❤❤❤❤
Any updates?
How are you doing, orangecat? Sending love
Hey orangecat, I really hope you are fine and made that trip. Sending hugs!
Hope you’re doing well ❤
My best regards!
I did 6 weeks cycling in Portugal and Spain 40+ years ago with my wife. Your trip brought back a lot of special memories to me. You're right about the people you meet along the way. Thanks Bernardo.
40+ years back , i wonder how were those times !
cyclist, story teller, editor, cameraman, what else? Oh yeah, a great guy
more precisely the videographer not cameramen cuz the title said alone so its pure alone
@@raefoolnahlet this wholesome comment alone man
@@bjrn7130 They're correcting something, they're not ruining anything bruh.
When I was 23 in the late 1990s I cycled from England down through France, Spain and Morocco to the edge of the Sahara. I did the same as you in this video, same kind of panniers, slept under the stars, saw great things and met great people, and all with the power of legs!
Now I'm married and a father, so it's good to see your video with my wife and start to think, hmm 🤔 maybe time to dust off the panniers again and take the family this time👍
You should go for it👍👍👍🌄🌉
Record it if possible!
Do it ! My parents have taken me in this type of trip ever since I was a kid, now 19 and I can't get enough of it. It truly is an awesome experience, even with kids.
Same. From Sea to the mountains in Poland and back. I was young and wild, now I have son and if he ever find this idea to himself I would never sleep again 🤫 That was so dangerous ...
I found this video a couple of months ago, it left me really wanting to do something similar, and here I am now after going on my first cycling trip. I had never been abroad before now, but I have now. I grabbed my things and packed everything I thought I would need and cycled from my home in Scotland to France, I had just turned 20, finished work for the summer and wasn't sure what to do with my time before uni started again and I'm so happy it's something that I've now done. thank you
Steve's story is amazingggggg. He inspires me a lot and I love his perspective about life, not care about what you will eat or where you're gonna sleep. Awww, love you and love Steve 3000
Hey Bro. That was an amazing ride. I felt like I was there. Thank you!
ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ ದೇವ್ರು 🙏

Wasn't expecting you here!!
@@realhawaii5o I don’t usually watch travel content. But I want to make some longer videos like this. So just trying to learn from the best.
@@hariharpuri1362 Namaste Ji
Thanks again everyone who supports me and its still long way to go for this journey . Much love everyone and thank you so much ❤
steve would u setup and patreon and a youtube channel i would gladly watch your adventures
Good luck and be safe, Steven!
@@MarkyNomad Thank you so much
@@wasiTheweeb Yes of course . But i will be posting on my journey .
Good luck be safe
What an incredible journey and video. Thanks for sharing, I loved every moment of it :’)
I cycled from Ayia Napa in Cyprus to Calais in Northern France. The year was 2012, I rode through, Cyprus, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, Monaco and France. The longest I cycled in one day was in France, 183km. The whole trip was 5,500kms or 3,300mls. I was still just at the age of 42 yrs. Wow what an adventure! I'm 54yrs now. I have since owned to boats, but my second is going to take me around the world! Great to know another one in a million adventurer!!! 👍
This isn’t just a TH-cam video about cycling it’s a beautifully made short film. A work of art with wonderful filming and storytelling.
At 4:23 you get out of a tent. You show your bike unsecured, and your pannier bags unsecured too. You are carrying apparently £8k+ worth of filming gear + that bike is worth £1.2k. Did you REALLY sleep in a tent EVERY night? If so where because wild camping in the UK is illegal AND how did you secure your bike and belongings each night?!
@@edwardcullen3251 This was an expensive ad. It had a very well produced intro. He didn't sleep in a tent once. His cooking utensils were brand new and used once. He wore a freshly laundered and ironed shirt everyday. Most of the views and likes were probably paid for too. It was even scripted.
Great documentary and videography. I did a 4-country solo bike tour (Germany, Netherlands, England and France back in 1974). Today you enjoy the advantages of cellphone, GPS, drones, GoPro cameras all of which make it so much more enjoyable and informative. I stayed at Youth Hostels, so I did not need cooking equipment. Muito bem, compadre.
@@dennisluz6453 read the comment before yours.
Some people living in Europe take this for granted because it's normal for them, but you live in the most gorgeous place on earth.
Love from Mexico
mexico is beautiful too, especially the south
depends what area, england is very boring, but i don’t take it for granted
@@griefer5846 england isn't boring if you're in the right place
@@Crimsrn yeah i know, its just really rare in england, in terms of where i live, its too boring
@@griefer5846 you probably live in a city? if so go to the countryside, it's much nicer here
About ten years ago I crossed several European countries on my Marine bike. This was one of the most memorable experiences of my life, I still cherish it in my heart and will always do. This beautiful video brought up a lot of good memories and made me consider the opportunity to get back to bike travelling. Thank you!
This is the video that I never wish to end. Amazing scenery along the way. Mont St Michel brought back fun memories during my visit in 2010.
I can't thank you enough for this video. When I turned 18 I grabbed my bike and went on a very similar trip (even trough some of the exact same places) through France and Spain on the Camino. It was such a life-changing experience. You just brought me back. It's like I was there again. And that is invaluable...
I also filmed my trip, but it's been almost 2 years and I still didn't manage to tell my story. You made me cry with this piece of art. So genuine. So true. I can vouch for everything you said, I experienced it, and it's like nothing else... I'm gonna go and edit my video from the trip now. Thank you once more 🥹
Give us!
Yes! Edit your video and publish it, please! :D
Do it! We want to see the video
cieszę się, że Polacy też są w tej ekipie samorozwoju.
Też kończę niedługo 18 lat (dokładnie za dwa iesiące) i planuję wybrać się na podobną wycieczkę!
How old are you now?
This video was better than any movie on Netflix. Amazing, Bernardo!
nah netfkix better
Bro the bar is low when it comes to netflix
@@vanillabarrel7886 wdym ‘the bar is low’

@@griefer5846 netflix series can be shit
Hello Bernardo! This video made me cry, you saw so much on your journey and met people, visited different places, it’s so cool! But when it was all over, I remembered those whom you met along the way, with whom you had heart-to-heart conversations during these 38 days, it touched my soul. Good luck and success in life, you are a very kind, positive person! May God give you great goodness for your heart of gold! I’m writing from Kazakhstan, random person
Favourite line - "The simpler times, where the only thing that really mattered was the wind in your head and the joy of being alive."
Hey Bernardo,
I have lived in France for 20 years and I came across your video by accident.
The first town that you passed through after arriving in France on your video was Bricquebec, the town with the castle at the end of the high street.
That's where I live.
Amazing that you did this wonderful journey in the hottest summer for decades. Well done young man, lovely video.
What's the name of the river between Mont St Michel and Rennes?
@@radboudbruinsma it is the Couesnon i think.
I also ran across this by accident He cycled past my old village which I have moved from, 5 years ago, and left for a new continent. I was missing it a lot when I ran across this video. Thank you :)
@@iamsharko9556 The world is such a small place! Feels great for both people viewing for the first time and for those that it brings nostalgia
I took a simiiar trip some years back Denmark to Greece and it feels so similar to yours, biking through more than 14 countries in the end. The amount of random encounters with people on their own journeys was so frequent and inspiring. I met a guy in Croatia who had biked from china on a self-made bamboo bike. The world is amazing and to all of you people who thinks this was just a lucky chance his trip became this amazing. Its really not, the world is full of wonders and people to meet and I can only encourage everyone whos on the fence to try it.
Thanks for the video, I will most certainly make another trip now.
Since you have experienced a lot and met many people on your journey, can you tell if you think that’d be safe for a woman to go an a solo bike trip like that? Did you or people around you often encounter people with bad intentions, felt uneasy? It’s certainly different than being surrounded by people in train, cities etc. most of the time. Sorry if the question is off. Your comment is inspiring
@@heybutwhy3421I didn't encounter any threatening behavior on my trips, all solo. I met some solo women on the road and they haven't encountered any bad situations either. This is all inside Europe mind you.. some countries I have heard differently. I wouldn't recommend going further east than Turkey(probably not in Turkey either) alone as a woman, some do it but I have heard some unpleasant encounters.
Overall you are spending most time in the countryside where crimes a extremely rare and good people are abundant.
@@outdoorsvoyage6993 Thank you!! That’s a good point, about the countryside. Usually I feel safer surrounded by people, but still most of the bad situations I had were in the crowd. I will do more research before going anywhere since there are different types of crimes more likely to happen in certain places.
Touché. Couldn’t agree more. I don’t cycle. I hike, and hiked through Grenoble in France, into Geneva, the Canton of Vaud in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and Austria in the summer of 2018, as a 29 year old, and met a lot of great people, young and old. So many adventures, and built friendships along the way. It’s worth it, and I then flew back home to Abu Dhabi.
@@khalidalali186did you use a tend or did you sleep in a Hostel
Feels like I'm in a walters Mitty in real life
This was the video that introduced me to your channel and I couldn't be happier !
Thank you so much for making this video Bernard, I come back to waitch it like once every month and it is legitimately one of my favorite videos ever on the platform.
I was so close to tearing up watching this and it just speaks volumes as to how talented you are as a filmmaker, keep up the good work !
I can't wait to see more of your content !
This man realised that he has freewill and just made the best cinematic experience on TH-cam
This 41 minutes felt like a movie. Amazing video. Please do more of these 😭♥️
I never felt like i watched 41 minutes until u said it
I watched it at 2 times speed
dude, this made me cry 🥺🥺 I see myself as an adventurer, as a true explorer and free spirit but for the last 6 months, I have been recovering from severe burnout and didn`t have the mental or physical capacity to do much other than rest. Seeing this film and your incredible journey made me miss my old life, full of spontaneous and exciting travels, of spending unforgettable moments with total strangers and ending up at places you could never imagine! Your story inspires me to be excited about all the adventures jet to come, even if right now they still feel so far away! Thank you for sharing the road with us 🥰
This is amazing. I didn't realize the video was 41 minutes long and finished it in one sitting! It's really that good! Thank you for sharing your journey, Bernardo. Love from the Philippines.
this is amazing. love the shots you got on this trip. inspiring!!!
hi kelly
KELLY!!
Hoooo you kelllyyy
🤘🤘
❤❤❤
This is so beautiful! I am halfway through your film and I realise how much I admire your relationship with yourself. I've been travelling alone, too, for 10 months, but a lot of the time I spend with anxiety, thinking "Am I doing the right thing?" "Did I book the right thing?" "Did I spend too much?" or when I'd be on the ferry, for example, I would be afraid going on deck because a part of me would be afraid someone would tell me that I wasn't allowed there, or that I would look stupid half of the time of my trip being by myself in restaurants, bars and places. My trip will continue in a few, and I would LOVE to adopt your comfort with yourself and your relationship to the world with so much enthusiasm, trust and vitality! You are the best.
It's really difficult, isn't it? Letting go of a lifetime of anxiety. I'd be more like you than him in this situation. But if we stay strong, "care" less about others, and take it one day at a time, we can slowly improve.
I just want to point out that social media portays only a fraction of a person and in this case, of the whole long journey. Also the content creator decides how to portray it. So it may seem they are super happy and confident when condensed to a 40min video of highlights.
At 4:23 you get out of a tent. You show your bike unsecured, and your pannier bags unsecured too. You are carrying apparently £8k+ worth of filming gear + that bike is worth £1.2k. Did you REALLY sleep in a tent EVERY night? If so where because wild camping in the UK is illegal AND how did you secure your bike and belongings each night?!
This was a paid for ad and he was supported by a well paid production crew
Keep your head high at all times . Life is like a rollercoaster with ups and downs. This video is great but in reality doesn’t show or capture all of it but the charm friendly guy visiting nice places . For sure climbing the mountains with a heavy loaded bike is not easy let alone the hole trip.
If you are on your journey keep going take your time and learn more about your self you are doing great . Try to be the best of you from yesterday in terms of anxiety and you will be fine .
One night staying in areas that you are not supposed to doesn’t harm anyone as long as you don’t leave trace behind.
All the best!!
Thank you Bernardo to sharing this, for guiding us via this road of spectacular landscapes & charming details along the way! Inspiring & encouraging also for beginners.
I’ve just discovered your channel. Thank you for sharing your trip of a lifetime. I love your outlook, and I agree that the humble bicycle is the best way to see the world.
Bro the camerawork on this is insane. How did you manage to both bike for such long distances and create such beautiful videography?! My mind is blown!
He’s not alone. He has a videographer. There’s no way he placed a camera at the bottom of the hill and then runs back to get it
@@WildXstElementZ
Maybe it's drone footage, no need to go back.
This is a masterpiece!
For those who have done it before, will know how difficult it is to film a trip like this. You did not just done it, but done it like with a team!
The perfect framing, the consistent colours across different cameras. I appreciate the sound the best! On top of this, the energy of the film actually matched your personality! Best part is your personality and energy makes this adventure so enjoyable to watch!
Thank you for doing this!
i think so
Definitely one of the most amazing bike trip videos i've seen so far. You made a terrific editing job and it felt like you captured everything that had to be at the right moment. I even laughed out of respect when i saw all the work you did on filming your flat tire sequence!
As a mountainbiker always riding trails and not having a bike trip longer than 120km, I found this truly inspiring, thank you very much for this, all the best to you my friend!
I can confidently say this is by farrr the best video i've seen on youtube! I laughed and cried and teared up so many time in this 40 mintues of watching your beautiful short story and journey. Thank you so so much for sharing this with the world. I could watch 3 hours of this without taking my eyes off it. Best of wishes for you Bernardo :)
Agreed!!!
Amazing video Bernardo! 👏🏼👏🏼 motivated me to maybe start cycling haha
start cycling you will not regret it
@@freespeechoneeach I've been thinking too, for so long. But it all seems so scary when we're used to the modern city life. The uncertainty of accommodation, the distances, the safety...
@@zigmasj6572 hey im not suggesting a 600 mile continental trek , just get on a bike. a couple of miles a day. that will turn into a trip to the next town. explore country roads youve never been on. fill your lungs with fresh air. see wildlife you never new exists near you. this morning i have just done a 30 mile loop , planned it last night . the sense of achievement is a buzz. im 57 and 30 miles is about my limit nowadays.
@@freespeechoneeach That's awesome. And you're right, big adventures start small. There's plenty I haven't seen around me, will build up. I guess the lust for adventure keeps increasing after that. Thanks for the inspo
Repent of sin and Trust in Jesus!
John 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Matthew 7:13-23
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Beautiful video! Thank you for taking us with you.
One of my all time favorite videos. Beyond the travel aspect your story telling captures everything so beautifully
This has seriously made my day. I was feeling very down but now I'm so inspired. How amazing the world we live in!
Im glad to hear that!
The peace of mind i got from these videos are just on whole another leve i just simply love it i mean words are not enough to describe the effort it would have taken him to make these video.thank you so much we are lucky to have you
One of the most beautifully captured videos I've ever seen. Beautiful story telling. Watching it felt like a breeze of air hitting my face after a long while. Keep it up man 🫶✨
glad to hear all the story of the people along your trip what a video man..
Lovely video
Thanks man! It means a lot coming from you 🙌🏼
@@bbacalhau Hey! My and my friend want to do this after our exams next year, would it be possible for you to give us the route?
I have really been inspired by this video, and love the west coast of france.
Thanks, Louis
Such a beautifully documented journey! As I have mentioned several times on this channel that Bernardo is really under appreciated for his work. This channel is so underrated and this guy needs so much more recognition. I genuinely feel bad.

@@milind.m.marathe Namaskara Dani
yeah
This was such a masterfully documented journey. How free you seemed to be on your new bike!
Thank you for sharing your adventures, your willingness to explore and meet new people and for taking us along.
I've only been to England (Devon & Cornwall) & Paris, after spending 3 months on the Silver Coast of Portugal (which I did explore)... [Senti emoção e saudade ao passar por Nazaré e São Martinho]... I enjoyed exploring those areas as well... as you were getting closer to where I spent the best 3 months of my life. (Atouguia da Baleia - Peniche).
Obrigada Bernardo
I had to stop myself from getting worried about your lack of bicycle maintenance knowledge, or how you were using your phone and head unit, because what's really great about this video and your trip is the pure and authentic enthusiasm. I wish I had had your confidence to do the same when I was your age!
Felt so connected. It was amazing experiencing Europe through you. Beautifully captured shots.
I have watched this 4 times now. This is the most beautiful video on youtube that exists. It explains the struggles, ups, downs of this lifestyle. If i wasnt a kid, i would go on a journey like this too.
I highly recommend Ed Pratt's world journey on youtube if you're into this sort of stuff. He did it on one wheel though!
let me go with when im older lol
I recommend watching Shiey! He sometimes does train hopping videos around a country, the views are insane, and what's even crazier is his confidence when climbing. Make sure to give him a watch!
@@Tactless_Kaizen he has a cycling across the balkans series rn, i think he posted part 3 yesterday
I love how natural the flow of your videos feel and are. Keep up the amazing work. Much love.
Wow! This is one of the best if not the best, bikepacking videos I have ever watched. The photography and narration were excellent giving the viewer the feeling of being a part of the adventure. Thank you for bringing us along on your journey.
Bernardo... this is an Oscar-winning one. You had warned us this would be your greatest work to date but it totally surpassed my personal expectations. The people you met along the road definitely made it way more memorable and meaningful. Bom trabalho! 💯
This is probably one of the few videos on TH-cam that I watched 'till the end. It took so much effort, strength and time for you to cycle across the Europe, but in the end it gave so much fun.
Beautifully filmed and narrated. I appreciate the effort you've put in and the story you tell.
Your journey made me so happy. Thank you so much for sharing your part of life.
I’m not sure how to express the peace I feel after watching your videos, they make me feel as if I’m there with you just enjoying life, until the moment where I realize the video is over and I have to watch another. Never stop making these, you truly are inspiring
OMG I JUST WANT BIKE AND GO TO THAT BEAUTIFUL GREEN PLACES
At 4:23 you get out of a tent. You show your bike unsecured, and your pannier bags unsecured too. You are carrying apparently £8k+ worth of filming gear + that bike is worth £1.2k. Did you REALLY sleep in a tent EVERY night? If so where because wild camping in the UK is illegal AND how did you secure your bike and belongings each night?!
Wow, I’m amazed by the coincidence of seeing Sylvain in your video. I met him a couple of months later in the Bolivian Amazon where we spend a few days together in the same hostel, celebrating his birthday and watching the World Cup final. Love your adventure and video! Cheers from Amsterdam.
I totally accident to found you video on recommendation vid. I really love your vid, your story and your production. It's remind me to do something out of my comfort zone, to see the whole world not only in town for working.
Thank your very much brother for sharing your experience.
This is fantastic Bernardo, I'm so happy for you. I have been coming back to your video many times during these days and it has been so inspiring for me to start going out with the bike in this late winter/early spring in Germany. Thank you!
Amazing Video, as usual Bernardo!
Would love to hear more BTS of this trip. How did you plan the routes? what was your luggage like? How did you charge your electronics? How did you make sure your campsites were safe?
Maybe a Q&A video would help :)
Would like that answers too
You forgot one thing how he was filling out the water bottles along the forest roads
Small tip for people who are on a road trip in France : you can almost always find fresh drinkable and free water in inner city cemetaries, but more rarely when the cemetary is apart from the (generally small) town. And in small villages you can also find free toilets generally not far away from the church.
Bernardo, muito obrigado por sua generosidade e por imagens tão maravilhosas. Você é muito bom nas imagens e no "story telling". Parabéns patrício! Saudações desde o Brasil e de um amante da bicicleta.
I just gonna appreciate for that all work that u have done, it’s so hard to keep filming all that trip and so on, but u still got that enthusiasm and passion for whole your trip.
Thanks for that video, really enjoyed that
Dude, amazing video. Last year I cycled from the middle of the Netherlands all the way to Nice (South of France) 1600KM. And this video felt really similar. All the little villages that you pass by, the people you meet. And the slower phase of traveling felt relaxing. I probably gonna do it again but then for a longer period of time (3 months to half a year). Beautiful video and the cinematography was on point 👌😌
Geweldig, hoe lang heb je daarover gedaan?
@@MarcelHVAC Ongeveer een maand. Rustig tempo 80-150km per dag ongeveer. Rustige manier om op reis te gaan :)
@@FabianBosman klinkt super!
Que vídeo incrível Bernardo, é muito satisfatório ver um português a criar vídeo de tão alta qualidade.
I am deeply touched and thanks for sharing the journey.
I don't normally comment on videos but man was this an amazing 40 minutes
Such a cinematic film, thank you.
I made almost the same trip as Steven, when I was 18, depressed and lonely.
On my trip I relied on the local's donations and goodwill. Realising that people actually cared, is what really brought me back to life.
I wish more people would do journeys like this because it teaches you the most about yourself.
Subbed and Thank You!
So beautiful, so inspiring. I keep rewatching it every time I feel down.❤❤
This is so beautiful and wholesome🥺
Thank you for this hope and inspiration
This is so beautiful to watch. You are such a talented storyteller and you captures this experience so remarkably well I felt like i was there with you! Keep shining bro 👏🏾
Thanks bro! I hope to see you soon!
Defo my favourite video of 2023, it was amazing. Best 40mins ever
Wow, that was a fantastic film! Thank you for capturing it so beautifully and for sharing all little stories along the way.
Thank you for bringing us with you on this remarkable adventure!
Oh, wow! Such a wonderful 45 min doc. The time and energy Bernardo must have put into all of that b-roll and those multiple camera shots is so impressive. Bernardo's heart and appreciation of other people seals the deal. Keep on, rollin' Bernardo!...And keep on truckin', Steve!
I gotta say the first 30 seconds are the most important in a video. And you ABSOLUTELY NAILED it. I don't know anything about you or your channel but this is a masterclass in storytelling.
Edit: I wish we had bike infrastructure in America...
Amazing video. I really appreciate the distance shots and the effort that took, the scenery, your comments, plus the music! Thanks for making & sharing! 🚴❤️ 🌍
Seriously, This is so amazing and inspiring. I felt i was there for every single shot. Very well done. 👏❤
I LOVE your video! You’re a blessed man to have cycled through those beautiful landscapes!! ❤ God bless you!
it's hard to put into words how impressed I am with the level of quality you put into this video. You are a true storyteller, you make it look so effortless.
Really inspiring, thanks for taking us along with you on this beautiful trip!
Thx for sharing your adventure with the world.
This was truly beautiful. I never knew how beautiful it is to cycle around different countries. This made my day!
Thank you so much for covering this whole trip, my friend!!! Felt really happy... I felt like I myself traveled to this place. Your efforts are priceless!!!!
So emotional and beautiful.. no words... wow
Beautiful and inspiring film. Man, people like you live lives and adventures so amazing that are actually worth sharing. Thank you.
Words are not enough to appreciate this piece of art, the amount of hardwork you have put down to make this video is incredible. All those shots where you have to climb up to get your camera back, man i can't imagine to do that, and kudos to your brave soul sleeping in an unknown place just in a tent. I repeat words can't describe the amount of hardwork you have put in to creating this masterpiece...
What a fantastic film Bernardo! I am sure you will cherish this journey forever and you did a wonderful job capturing it!
I just randomly came across this video and watched the whole thing without even realizing how long it was. I was just captivated by the beauty and the adventure of it all! It's such a lovely video and now I want to go bikepacking through Europe too.
I love the energy you put into this video. Your easy going attitude reminds me how simple going on an adventure can really be. Very inspiring as I also made a bikepacking film and have taken note of your storytelling for future videos! Thanks for sharing your work :)
Wonderful journey and perfectly captured everything needed!
A lot of respect for the hassle you have gone through to capture those fly-by shots.🙏
That was awesome Bernardo! Four countries, miles of awesome sceneries. Great narration and video. Thank you for taking us through your journey. Be safe.
I've never in my life wanted to bikepack, yet this made me want to, it felt like I was right there with you. Thank you for making this video!

Damn, damn, damn, this film is excellent, extremely good filming, audio, comment and very, very uplifting, it's like the happiness is spread everywhere and you get a bit of the feeling of going along all those bike paths.
I might've held a tear there watching you doing all that. Congratulations on living so well
