    What sticks out to me is "Do as u like. There is no formula, just some things you might want to think for yourself about, how to go about them. " :-) I agree. There is so many different people, opinions and ways out there. It is something so absolutely interesting to me - meeting another touring person and all their ways about it. I feel one is their true individual self out on the bike and the way one does it all, so deflects them. It's amazing!

    • @WheelstoWander
      @WheelstoWander  3 года назад

      Hi Athal! We did in Japan, where it was quite safe to sleep in the cities. Elsewhere we never did that! In the beginning we mostly camped: in Europe (also in japen almost exclusively). Where it was more affordable for us we stayed at hotels more often, also to edit the videos. I think we have a pretty good section in the video about hygiene... All the best!

    Eric, The most important Safety accessory together with a mirror is glowing vest. Orange for daytime yellow for nighttime. I take both of them to any cycle touring abroad (20+ years). And I wear it everywhere (except on off-road). (and yes, I have noticed you use it from time to time). And off-course I use the vest daily, throughout the year in Tel Aviv district. Even when I go to supermarket.....

    Hi.
    Thanks a lot. Pretty interesting and some useful tips too.
    I wanted to know more about how you carried you cameras while cycling, i mean the DSLR (or mirrorless)? I can only use Gopro but pretty difficult to take out n put back my mirrorless. Any tips will be much appreciated. And how did you carry your laptop?
    I’m a travel filmer, i backpack n film while volunteering. Now i want to do bikepacking.
    Thanks a again. Hope to hear back.

    Eric, I have a question for you. On the video I think you said budget was about 25 Euros per person per day. However, on The Pursuit Zone podcast I think I heard you say it was about 25 Euros per day for both of you (2 people). In the video did you misspeak? 25 Euros per day for one person sounds expensive. Please clarify you budget individually or as a couple.

      I had a listen and I indeed misspoke! Our budget for the trip was 25 euros for 2 persons per day. Thanks for pointing that out!

    What about genital/but pain, how do you control that?
    I tried with special seat + pants, but after 60-70kms the pain still there, any tip?

      @silviobelmar1957 3 года назад

      ah and also wondering how many kms you do per day in average?

    • @WheelstoWander
      @WheelstoWander  3 года назад

      We do about 60km a day, after 70 we get sore in the butt. Sometimes it needs a lot of tries to get the right saddle and position dialed in right so don't give up! We also use a Thudbuster from Cane Creek that helps with mitigating bumps and vibrations from the road.

    Hi, extremely useful video! Now, if using gps on a phone, and you might still need an internet connection abroad for finding info also. Do u use free wifi at some public places - cafees, stations, libraries etc, maybe you get a sim card for a phone or some other ways?

    • @WheelstoWander
      @WheelstoWander  3 года назад +1

      Thanks! Yes we did get a simcard with a data limit for most countries. In some more expensive countries like Japan we relied on the vast network of free available internet connections.
