Hello, this is the finale to the series called “The Scattered Archive” because I didn’t film a whole lot during my first trip. As I continue to grow as a filmmaker I am understanding the elements I need to create a whole narrative. Right now, though, I am focusing on creating more and keeping it simple so I can become consistent on my social channels. The aim is a new episode a week. I will be editing the Korea content next and then recapping the Alaska trip from 2022. The aim is to upload 3 videos a week. Talking about my current adventures, my progress, mental health topics and the progress on becoming a full time Adventure travel Filmmaker.

Congratulations! I am proud of EVERY moment! Rather by car, bike, hike, train, bus, whatever. You were out there. YOU did the work. You persevered through the rough times, the weather, the detours, the mechanical issues. YOU did that! This is your journey and no one gets to diminish it in any capacity because you did or didn’t “follow” perceived standards. Yes. You biked across the America. Period. Great job 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🤩🤩
@@shelleyshell9441 😭 Thank you so much!I appreciate you! I appreciate your words. This was something I had to learn and remember. I did extremely well despite all the mishaps. Everything went the way it needed to to keep me safe and biking. Thank you Shelley!
If you're a nightmare then you're my new favorite kind! You are amazing! congratulations! Thank you for also showing all the kindness of strangers. That alone inspires me ❤❤❤
So inspiring! When you started out you were pleased to make 20 miles in a day. Now you can do 87 miles a day - and with all that gear! That’s quite an accomplishment. And your trip looked really beautiful. It made me want to get on a bike and go. The lessons I learned from this are a) you don’t have to be ready to do it all when you begin, you just have to start and keep going; and b) don’t stick to your plan too much, but be open to detours and new ideas as you go.
@@mgittler Thank you so much. One of the main things I loved while out there was seeing myself grow. In small ways and large. I was indeed ecstatic when I completed 20 miles. And then 87 was mind blowing. It really shows that you are capable of a lot. I agree with those lessons 100%. I honestly think it’s important sometimes. Because we can create way to many scenarios as to why we are not ready yet. When we most likely are. And yes not sticking to a plan can make everything more enjoyable. You never know what could happen if you’re flexible. I hope you try a bike tour. Even if it’s an overnighter. It is a great experience.
Absolutely amazing and so very inspiring!!! Continue seeing the world and living your life to the fullest. Adventuring isn’t always easy nor luxurious, but it’s worth it. You’re doing more than most!!! 💪🏾❤️🚴🏾♀️
1) Nebraska is beautiful, especially the Platte river. People call it "fly over territory". They miss out. 2) Bison are scary up close! 3) Wishing you a 100 mile day soon. 4) Great series!
@@sohlbergk Oh I absolutely believe you. Everyone was writing off Nebraska while I was biking. But I thought it was breathtaking. Yeah I wouldn’t want to see a bison up close😂. That was close enough for me. Thank you so much for watching!
@@PeacefulPlanting-Sydnee Yellowstone was amazing! I completely recommend it! I have learned that solo travel isn’t as scary as we’re being led to believe. Yes there are bad people out there but there are a whole lot of good people too. Just lesson to your instincts and grow them to look out for you. So you can make the best decision for yourself. But yes be brave and adventure! My parents, siblings and friends all have my location. I check in daily. I hope you take some time to explore. Let me know if you have any questions!
Quite an accomplishment!! It amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it!! It is also amazing how many people will help you, be it a shower or a fix to your bike!! Congratulations!
@@chipcurley631 Thank you so much! Yes determination is a helpful thing. I’m glad I tried because it was a beautiful experience. Thank you for watching.
Nothing wrong with being off the bike when you need it. I took a train a few times while cycling Japan. Once to get off a road I didn't feel safe on, once to make a ferry I was going to be late for and once to get ahead to a major city faster to get my camera repaired.
@@jodyssey9921 That’s what I had to learn. I think at first I was hard on my but understanding that is is okay. Especially when you have to stay safe. How did you like cycling Japan? I’ve been thinking about it after Korea, I’m just thinking about winter coming up.
I'm so glad you shared this amazing trip with all of us. It was great fun to watch and very inspirational. I hope you'll keep sharing your adventures. ❤
@@juliah8601 Thank you so much for watching! It took a very long time to share this but I am glad I figured out how to edit it. I am currently biking in South Korea. I will share vlog one soon.
I am so very proud of you thank you for motivating myself and I do more and not be afraid . The distance you traveled is nothing short of amazing the distance the kind folks the sights all amazing I look forward to watching more of your amazing adventures
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it and I appreciate you. As long you try out your dreams, whatever they maybe then I am doing my job. Haha. I wanted to see what it felt like so I got out there. I was incredibly afraid that’s why it took a so long to even try but a message from someone who did it before inspired me to take up space. And I am grateful that I did. More videos to come soon. Thank you so much for watching.
@@MRALEX401971 I am editing the first South Korea biking vlog now. That will be out soon. If you’d like to ask me any questions I will be more than happy to answer. You got this for sure. Believe me I get it.
Wooooweeeee! I love this so much! I congratulations on this beautiful journey. You are brave, inspirational and strong😊😊😊😊 Keep biking!!!! Keep traveling and thank you for sharing it with us!🎉🎉🎉
@@PeacefulPlanting-Sydnee Yes, I will make that video for you soon. No I don’t have a biking computer yet. I was planning to get one I just wasn’t sure about it. I currently use my phone. Strava and a map app. Currently here in Korea the map app is Kakao Maps. On my biking across America it was google maps.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching. Why do I feel stuck? Honestly, just trying to make this work so I can do this full time. It is hard but I am slowly figuring it out.

Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching.
Why do I feel stuck? Honestly, just trying to make this work so I can do this full time. It is hard but I am slowly figuring it out.
@@RecapturingLife sorry I meant myself. You definitely are not stuck!
