The most important lessons!
Many years ago, friend of mine told me that nothing worth it more then to travel around the world. I completely agree with this statement and since then I never stopped travelling and even tried to teach my kids how important this is. In this video I will tell you about the most important lessons that I have learned from my trips.
If you like the risk and the adventures you can start travelling as soon as possible with the idea to see the world. You can do it with or without any money. It is proven from many people already. In the other hand, if you go to Oxford, Stanford, Kenbridge or any big and famous university you will learn a lot and get a professional degree, which will probably will ensure a job and the money and if you are lucky you might have some free time for travelling and who know you might see the world... Have you seen the paradox?
With this I am not saying that to have a degree is a bad thing, no absolutely not, what I am trying to say is that we have to see the world. This is the only way to understand it!
As you know guys I love philosophic discussions, but I won’t waste your time and will go straight to the points. What are the most important lessons I have learned from my trips?
N: 1 - The world is so big, but the time that we have on the earth is so little!
I am sure that you have heard some of the phrases:
- Don’t worry, you have enough time…
- Now is not the right moment…
- First I have to finish this or complete that…
- Nothing is more important than good education…
- The family is more important than your dreams…
- You have responsibilities and many more…

Thank You for affirming that which we all KNOW. Sadly, few of us ever truly LIVE. The Cemetery is the fullest place on Earth. Full of Songs never sung, Books never written, Travels never traveled.
My older Brother taught me a life lesson that I thanked him for. He had (and died from) a rare and always fatal cancer. I called him and just said Thank You. Of course he asked the obvious question, Thank You for what? I told him I was looking out my window and saw carefree children laughing and playing in the park behind my home and realized they are FREE. Free from the constraints of adulthood and the worries of life, paying bills, seeking material junk that wears out etc... I told him that I envy in a good way his recognition of the value of one day. Tomorrow is promised to no man, and when ones days are now numbered, he realizes that arguing over nonsense is the definition of nonsense. I told him that I love him and Thank You for the valuable life lesson. To my recollection I've not argued or even raised my voice in anger to anybody since that conversation with my brother.
Sometimes my wife wants to challenge this vow I made to myself, but then I think of my conversation with my brother and what the Bible says regarding the matter. The Bible states: : " Where there is no wood, the fire goes out" This has proven true for me. Even in my health. I go in for my annual exam to hear the DR state - - - PERFECT for a 62 year old man..
You must first be at peace with yourself just as certain as you must first rule yourself (Lead) before you are qualified to rule (lead) others.
Declaring to you and your family a healthy Happy New Year.
You are right. At 18 year old, I dreamed of having the driver license for Motorcycle. I did not find the money. But 2 year ago (18 years later), I said to my wife: It's time for me to realize the dream. And after some no, no, never... I started :) The best thing I ever did, and now I travel on the motorcycle. It's not a fancy one, but it's mine.
Same me at age 39 I have started riding. To many things happen in my life but finally I'm on the bike.Best decision ever. Happy New year
Better is later than never...
It's one of the best video about moto trips I've ever seen. Frankly speaking I faced the same problem as your friend - I'm 37 and all my life I spent for my family. At last this autumn I bought Honda Transalp 650 in a great condition and decided to travel. I was inspired by my moto friend and by your videos - thank you a lot! Greetings from Ukraine!!!
Great! Enjoy your trips
Good on you Denis!
650cc bikes rock!!
Travel is the one thing you can buy that enriches your life. Fact.
Happy travels
Agree
You are absolut right! The best trips of my life started shortly and less prepared on my old motorcycle. Problems on the way will give you the chance to meet people and collect stories. 15 years later one thing changed: My wive asked me to get a newer motocycle with some security features - not to stop it. She recognized that starting a trip means also loving arriving at home after it!
Agree
For the people who have not done anything like this... You don't really understand until you experience it first hand. You may think you know, but you actually don't. You don't need a bike, you just need the will....but a bike makes it better!
True
👌👆 very true
True Words Pawlin ! I made the license 30 years ago - but never went traveling . After i lost my wife because of her Cancer in 2014 and two more wasted years from 2018 to 2020 with a woman that just wanted my Money, i brought up a 1989 Dr 750. Bought it for 500€, fixed this and that and brought her back on the Road again. I've Done about 6000 km on her now - from croatia to Denmark and France...and i want to see more. 😊 carry on with your Chanel,mate! You're fing great and you are such a huge Inspiration! Thank you
My pleasure man, my pleasure. Keep riding!
Interesting. You do not regret things you have done, you regret things you have not done - that is what I always say. Good movie.
Thanks!
These are very true words! I especially like the point that you will appreciate what you have once you are on the road. Simple things like hot water shower, a hair dryer, shampoo and conditioner, comfortable bed, clean clothes - these are the things we take for granted when we stay grounded. Go for a trip and you will appreciate these little things a lot!
I just returned from a two week trip on my bike, and I am enjoying the simple pleasures of comfort, on the other hand - I cant wait to get on the road again, it's like a drug!
Love your videos and tips, keep them coming, you are my inspiration and mentor!
Exactly my friend, as soon we get home we need to go again!
wow, so very true. I'm going to share the video with my wife :)
Just do it, she might get the point...
@@motorcycleadventures I did and she agreed!!! Still got a thick ear though! Thats women I suppose LOL!!
@@motorcycleadventures just a thick ear,she is an angel
whatever fancy bikes show up or scenery in other video. this is the best motorcycle adventure video so far.
Thanks!
Yes Pavlin, I never regret my motorcycle trip, even I miss to do the next long trip, and preparing myself to do it again!
You should!
Indeed . . . I call it "LIVING" . . . . I LIVE for a LIVING
True
I never ride a bike until two tears ago. Then I got one 125 cc and practised for one year, then I got the A2 licence. Now I am learning to be a safe rider to start a journey still undefined which will carry me as far as I could reach. I am 56 on a 650. Your videos are guilty!
Голям човек си Павлин , благодаря за уроците които научих от теб , вече направих първия ми сезон . Макар моите рзходки да са далеч от няколко седмичните ти приключения , съм ти благодарен за всеки съвет който съм получил от клиповете ти в тубата . Благодаря за различната гледна точка към живота , към хората които срещаме в него и как да продължим да учим без да залягаме толкова между четири стени . Желая ти здраве и нови пътувания , весело посрещане на Новата година , нека тя ти донесе повече от миналата :)
Благодаря много приятелю! Радвам се, че намираш канала за полезен, това беше и първоначалната идея. Честите Нова Година!
Agreed with you bro. Every trips make us stronger and more experience about daily life, what we can not see as normal. Keep drive and enjoy life if we can
Thanks man! The same for you!
This video have to show on every classrooms around the world! Your words are so right! Big approval !! 👍
Wow! That is very powerful statement! Thank you!
I like to dig up some of your older videos when there are no new. Many times you said that there is no time for thinking and waiting , just go travel. And it past some two years now and i still didn't make my first trip , the one that starts then all. BUT, i am bit closer , my daughters are getting older , AND i am about to get my A license. Ride safe in Turkey !
There is much wisdom in this. Do not discount it or throw it away.
(Coming from a 76yr old MC rider with lots of adventures under his belt.)
Chuck
Thank you Chuck!
Also agree, one of the Best, maybe the Best video related to motorcycle traveling
Very inspiring, thank you Pavlin. You're a very wise man.
You are welcome anytime!
I think he has a good point....we've become very different people because of all the travel we do.
Thanks , very clear message! Allready on the road. Cheers
Great! Enjoy the ride!
Nailed it Pavlin. So much wisdom packed in here.
Thanks Simon! I hope that many will listen...
Again. Very well said. I value your "People" views and wisdom.
The bike is a "Tool" I was also raised to respect "My tools"
Exactly, respect your tolls, but don't forget that they are just tools...
Hi Pavlin. You inspire me constantly. I look forward to seeing your 2019 adventures ... and the rest of your 2018 ones.
Ride safe and happy new year.
Happy New year to you and your family!
Pavlin... 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 for the positive & inspiring view.
Thanks!
Your point of view is very strong, I really appreciate it!
Thanks!
Grand Master Jedi Pavlin: Wise words, you have spoken.
Follow your advices and teachings, I will.
May the Adventure be with you!!
Wow! Thanks!
Btw, last June I got a job in Moscow and now I have been learning па-рускии язук!! это трудна!!
Please forgive my sin, I haven't been riding latelly, but this next spring, when it will be warmer, I plan to ride and bring my Sertao bike from Portugal to Moscow!! :D
Great! Enjoy your ride!
Hi Pavlin, ... agree 100%. Ride safe. Happy New Year. Hans
Happy New Year for you and your family Hans!
Thank You Pavlin for another year of great and inspiring videos.
Your philosophy for travel is so simple with no Marketing, or Advertising nonsense.
I wish you a New Year full of wonder and joy and the fulfillment of more travel to strange and beautiful destinations.
Ride Safe Always during 2019.

Thanks man!
So inspiring speech !
Thanks!
@@motorcycleadventures Thank you for your kind reply. So happy to have a reply from you that I never imagined.
Great points. Our happiness is our own responsibility, nobody else's. Do the things that makes you happy. Don't neglect or sacrifice yourself. You will better at all the things you do if you take care of yourself.
True
Very nice. I like the number one story.
Thanks!
More great advice sir.
The one thing travel does, not always by motor cycle, it broadens the mind, opens you up to different ways of thinking.
Two of the problems in this world are racism and fear of other religions, when you travel those fears can disappear and you accept people for who they are not what they are.
Most people who are bigots are normally the ones who never travel, they live in there own little world and are brainwashed by the media, especially in what you may call the west.
A good person or a bad person is not dictated by skin colour or religion, some people are just nice or nasty, if you do not travel you never know any different.
👍👍👍👍
Agree
Don't listen to what they say. Go see.”
1st time I have ever subscribed.... U deserve... May God Bless U...
Thanks man!
We don't understand how happy we are.. Because we compare things with another, city dwelling buddy... Everyone is so rushing for a rat race... Which I think, means very little at the end. I'm not a as experienced like you, but it makes sense. Nice upload.
Great video
Thanks!
Ha ha Pavlin, this is your best videos that you ever made, and dont hesitate to contact me if you travel riding to Indonesia someday
Thanks Erwin!
I agree. The bike is just a tool. But is very important tool...
If you have wrong tool to do your job, you will stuck and stop others...
Look after our tools guys👍
True, but it is also true that any tool could be easily replaced...
I m in total agreement with you , whatever you told in this video.......thank you
Thanks man!
Hallo Pavlin! Danke für das video!
I really like and appreciate all the ideas and words you share with all of us, about traveling on a motorcycle...Danke Schön!
For sure, you´ve had a great year (2018) and hope that 2019 was even GREATER and with a lot more of trips and "adventures"!!!
Send you a big hug and greetings from México!!! ;)
Dein Kanal ist sehr inspirierend!!!
Gracias Javier! Happy New Year!
this is your best video.
If you say so...
So true!
Thanks, man!
I am your fan
God bless u
Thanks!
I started studying with 29 after traveling the world for 3 years (with brakes) 🌍🌎🌏. I can say 1 year of traveling is equal to 3 years of studying in the university :) In my opinion you can actually compare traveling with studying. You will have all the subjects on your trip, for example you’re studying (practically and theoretically) geography, languages, history, politics (real politics and not some BS from the news), math (accounting, reasoning, logical thinking), international law, biology/botanics, sports and many many more :) + many other skills you don’t learn in Uni like empathy :) traveling was the best decision of my life
Love your videos man 👍 you have to be the most pragmatic youtuber I know👌
Wow! This was high title, now I have to keep it...,
Soooo true!!! I use to say that at 35 i decided to make a balance of my life (as i reached half of my time)... and voilá the great conclusion... :(
So, at 36 i bought a motorcycle (after 10 without one)... at 37 i get apart of my ex wife... and since then :) :) . Now i have 40 and completly focused in changing my life to enjoy travelling.
Great video and inspiration Pavlin!!!!
Good, enjoy your rides!
It's just perfect... We don't have time.!!!
Need to act quickly and start riding...
Am heading towards Northwest part of India in few weeks.10days ride..
Yo!!*
Great! Enjoy your ride!
Many Thanks...am enjoying your videos and tips.
I cried watching this... I have always been an adventurous person but marriage and family came early in my life. Nothing wrong with that but, i always had this dream to travel the world and was postponing until kids would grow. My girls are at the University now and it would be a good time to get started but i now have a son! I love him so much cause we were good buddies until he got sick 3 years ago. He now needs continuous care. Not one person in the house, by himself can look after him.. We cannot rest, relax, get sick.. We cannot even die!! His condition is very serious and extremely hard to handle...Yes, i am depressed. The game is over for me!
I am really sorry to hear this and I wish I can help somehow... Good luck man, that everything you need!
Indonesia is beautifull place for touring.
I am sure about it!
Most of the point of yours I have to agree..
Good
Brilliant. . Hopefully you'll teach sociology at a university, there would be a lot more mentally healthy students graduating..
Wow! Powerful statement!
You have a very understanding wife . Your a lucky guy I hope you realize that . Those kind of gals are few and far between. 🤔
I do understand and appreciate her very much.
Hi Sir,what is the best or appropriate road maps to buy when adventuring. Any particular brands of map publishers to suggest? Thank you.
Yes, I use this company: www.reise-know-how.de/en
Have a question. When did you start to ride a motorbike Pavlin ?? And how old were you when you did your first travel on bike ? I`m 38 now and I`m feeling that it`s too late :/
First time when I jump on the bike I was 14 years old. It is never too late...
38 and feel it is too late?! I got my license when I was 47, got my first bike at 49 and made about 10000 km during the first year...met one gent who started riding at almost 60...Just get a bike.😀
Exactly, just get a bike!
i always had a bike since 17.did not start to tour europe till i was 52.i worried about punctures.i discovered oko tyre sealant and that helped me overcome that fear.saved me 3 times now.now 61 and thinking of going again next year.i take my tent ,sleep wild most of the time and cook food so its affordable.3 months was my longest trip.38 is still young.who told you it was old?.they told you a crock of shit.my bike journeys started after years of backpacking.i dont like carrying bags so bike is best.
Never too late, just got my license at 57. Intend to see all the bits cars cant take you to.
3:50 best question
True
My friend, I have to tell you that unfortunately having a secured job has become a reality. I just cannot see how it is possible to even stay alive without a stable and well paid job. I wish there was a way...
Where there's a will, there's a way...
My wife says you are full of shit !! LOL !! And she will kill you if she sees you !!! Arghahahahaha!! But we still love you Pavlo...... Happy New 2019 !!
Wow! Send me her picture to be careful on the road...
👏👏👏👏👍👊
Thanks for watching my friend!
many of us including me are stuck with just one low source of income which i cant afford to stop it and travel the world ,and this is the main reason why im stuck and cant make my dreams come true :/
I understand, it is not easy...
I like your comments about life and following dreams and to focus on the important, loved number 3. Just a note that not only men have dreams about motorcycling and traveling so you could probably be gender neutral in your comments :) just saying... safe travels
Of course, I was talking about everybody men, women...
thank you. Just to clarify, my comment was related to the part when you say.... 'the wifes or the girlfriends who are watching.. please dont hate me...'
Ride on!
Got to ask you pavlin ,do you feel selfish just getting up and going without family, or does wife think your selfish ?
She might think sometimes, but I never. I spent my life working for my family, so I can afford couple of months per year.
Motorcycle Adventures fair enough , I have the same thoughts !!!
Great video again
This friend you talking about, was it you? When did you open your mind to travel free? What was your age? Tommy
No, it was a real friend of mine. I started about 15 years ago.
I love your videos but..Please put Indian travel videos ASAP...it's over a month now!
My friend, I upload videos as soon I am ready with. I need to finish with Pakistan first.
🤓
Is that "friend" you?
No, he is a real person with real life.
There is only one God for all of us.
Agree
6 dislikes from the lady's
Could be!
6 angry wives and girlfriends downvoted this video after their men watched it and ran off to travel the world lol
Could be!
Great video
Thanks!
