  • @robinheil
    @robinheil 2 года назад +31

    Dear Iohan, your passing is messing me up more than I think it should, given we never met or talked. I didn't realize how much you impacted me. This was the first film of yours that I saw, and ever since then, you have continued to inspire me, and to keep the stoke alive in between my own adventures. I remember constantly talking about you and exchanging your films with my friend while we planned our own trip. That kind of inspiration is really valuable and makes me want to work harder to share my own adventures with the world, in the hope that I may inspire others. The people you met around the world clearly loved you because of your openness and empathy. Your willingness to continually push the envelope of what was physically possible was astonishing to witness. Your unending love for animals revealed the kindness of your spirit. I feel like the world was robbed when you left so early. But really we are so lucky to have had you in the first place. And your films will go on to inspire countless others. I'm so sorry you had to suffer in life. May you be at peace.

He was such an inspiration to all of us. He was such a kind and generous person and his videos spoke to me in ways that I cannot explain. I'm sure there will be a day when I can watch his videos again without feeling sad but that time is not right now.

To think he was suffering such torment that he decided to take his own life is so distressing given all that he had achieved and the thousands, millions of people that he had given enjoyment to, helped and inspired through his videos, that there was no one able to help him when he needed it most, to say "It's ok Iohan, we can get through this. Everything will be ok." Maybe there was I don't know, but it is so sad that he decided to check out. We now have his legacy of beautiful films to watch but now tinged with such sadness knowing he is no longer with us. Thank you for so much you brought the world in such a short time. RIP.

    Iohan. This is just incredible. It is pure poetry of lonelynes, cycling, pristine nature, which wispers all kind of stories. Just amazing. I watched this with tears in my eyes. Incredible. Unreal. And unspoken. Poetry of peace and journey into heart of God.

    I followed him for long, I got inspired by his journey, I bought a bike, and learnt that I like hiking more, I want to travel slow, and see everything, I am still a bit impatient sometime. Now I have the plan to next year take 7 months of and walk aroundy my country the netherlands, and sometime walk al the 11000 km of trails.
    He gave me so much energy and things to look forward for, he will life in my being forever., I would not be what I am without his inspiration.
