Beautiful imagery and meaningful narration. Thank you for sharing:-)
Let’s go. I love what ypu do McKenzie, in some way I live though cyclist like you on YouTube, it’s my dream to cycle the world but by circumstance I can’t do so (yet) but I came across your last video and I have to say you inspired me once more, I believe there’s so much more to see in the world than the amount of time we have and I’m sure even if it’s in the next 10, 20,30 years, I will do it, I will cycle my route. Thank you for what you do. Mohammed 💟
Watching the world through someone else on a bike is my fav
Great. Thank you
Really enjoyed the documentary. I’m 59 now and received a tricycle at 2 yrs old for Christmas. I still remember riding that bike as a kid. I have since had many bikes and have always found a reason to ride. My high school years took me away from the bike and returned after my Sophomore year of college. I have been riding to some capacity or another since. Every time I ride is a vacation for my soul. There is no better freedom than riding somewhere just for the sake of riding. I have no idea where my next ride will take me but will find out when I start. Thanks for sharing.
Whereto next – Russia perhaps? 🙌🏼
Thats nice, this year i also want to start my trip. All the best and always tale winds! 😊
Wow!!! So Inspiring!!! You are Amazing!!! Looking forward to watching your documentary.
and all that without using airplanes because you love nature… speechless…
The most important day in a person's life is when they discover the reason for their birth…
Life is a golden opportunity for those who discover the secret of their existence…?!
McKenzie- how is something/someone as inspiring as this/you not getting more views!? The algorithms clearly don't know what they're doing. Also, how bout an update? Not all of us are on the instagram. TIA
How do you travel so far in such a short time….some have travelled for ten years traversing similar route …do you do it in short segments
Wow! Just saw the film, and the behind the scenes. Truly amazing and inspiring. I’m 63 and just want to ride out there to 🤩 can I ask the brand of your tent? And what camera did you use the most? Thanks a lot!
