Loving the slow ways approach - absolutely the way to explore the world.
I completely agree, you get to experience so much more!
Absolutely epic.......the quality of your film is staggering (especially when the only equipment you can take is what fits on your bikes). Thank you so much for sharing your journey, both in physical travels and the emotional journey that it involves. Good luck, best wishes and safe travels. A
Really chuffed you enjoyed it 😁 yeah the filming definitely adds a few kg but we love creating and telling stories through film. Feeling lucky to be able to share this wild journey! Thanks for your support
Your films create such calming vibes ☺️x
Really makes me happy to hear that, thank you!
Epic ! The quality is sooo good 😊
The closing drone shot, the b rolls, the storytelling and narration all top notch! Keep it going and have an amazing journey!
Thank you 😁 so happy to hear you enjoyed it! We already can't wait to bring you episode two

Happy to see you guys taking life by the handle bars! Great video!
🚲 thank you! It feels so good to be on the road after so many set backs
Incredible! Totally worth the wait. Thankyou Josh and Sara xxx
Ah glad you thought so 😊 thank you so much
A beautifully made film Josh and Sarah, of an amazing journey. Take care xx
Thanks so much! So glad you liked it 😊
Oh my goodness, that made me cry. Absolutely incredible! It made me think of the man who previously said in the comments that you were bonkers to leave Cumbria, and that he could never leave it. I can remember giving him a very polite telling off. I hope he's watching this. What an adventure you're both having, and thank you so much for sharing. Post Christmas and I'm recovering from flu - that was just what the Doctor ordered. Beautiful, atmospheric footage and story telling - I could feel your joy and sense of achievement ❤. Til next time!
So glad you liked it 😁 yeah Cumbria is beautiful but it's exactly as you said, there's a big world of adventures out there. I feel like we've already experienced so much beauty and had so many incredible experiences and it's only just the beginning. Hope you make a full and speedy recovery too and too much cold imagery didn't make you feel too chilly 😅 thanks for your support 😊
Woaw guys what a fantastic first episode to your world tour. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and the camera work and editing are just superb. Good on you for diving into snow covered mountains so early on! Great stuff all of it, I wish you all the very best and look forward to seeing more! take car. 😎✌
We really felt like we wanted to do this first part of the journey justice so really glad you liked it 😁 in at the deep end as they say! Thanks so much, plenty more where this came from!
Very inspiring! And interesting, most journeys like this we see started in the warmer months, you’ve shown a whole new aspect! Can’t wait to see more!
With good reason we're fast discovering 😅 battling the cold is a journey of it's own! Really glad you liked it
Lovely video Josh n Sarah. Can really feel the cold 🥶 lol. Looking forward to the next instalment already. Keep safe and keep cosy ☀️
Hope the cold didn't creep through too much but glad you felt part of the action so to speak 😅 episode two in the making now 🎥 we will try, thank you!
What a fantastic start. Amazing photography. No easy feat cycle touring and carrying decent camera gear! Keep up the excellent work and stay safe out there
Thank you 🚲 Yes it definately adds a few kgs but we are so passionate about creating these films its worth the extra weight we think. Thanks so much!
Wow! Amazing sights and sounds on the beginning of your epic journey! Thanks for taking the time and obvious care in putting all this footage together! I can’t wait to see the next installment! Stay safe and happy cycling! 🚴♀ 🚴
Thank you 🙂 We are really passionate about crafting these stories through film so love putting them together, although it can be a juggling act with life on the road. Stay tuned, episode two currently in the making
The Video Quality, Editing and Work second to none. Thankful im watching on the Big Screen, Loving your Relationship such a Joy. Excited for the next Installment
Thanks so much, awesome you were watching on the big screen, that's amazing!
26:45 that 30 second+ long drone shot from the trees to above the cloud is soooo beautiful! Keep up the amazing work guys
Yeah I think that's my favourite shit of the film! Feels like you're coming out from under the ocean almost. Thank you 😁
Beautiful and uplifting! Thank you. Wishing you all strength, patience, and luck.
Thank you so much 🙂 Really glad you enjoyed it and hope you'll stick around as the adventure unfolds
Loving following your journey. I really get that feeling about running on someone else’s schedule - and how finding your own rhythm and pace is such a nice feeling - especially travelling (but also just in life).😊
I agree that leaning into your own pace can make such a difference and feeling so fulfilling 🙂 Finding your own rhythm is so important for life as you say!
Great to see you doing the things you love, and your smiles are beautiful, take care.
Thanks so much 😁
Loved this video, amazing filming as always. So glad Sarah said she is scared of the dark and doesn’t like forests at night I thought I was the only person who has always been afraid of the dark and hates woodland at night! Fab scenery hope you are staying warm
Great in the daytime, but at night time, no thank you! It feels like a ghoul or scary figure steps our for your headtorch beam the second you look in that direction 😅Thank you, really glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! Just wow! What an incredible journey this has been and will continue to be.
Had a little chuckle at calling it type 2 fun 😂 haven't heard that in a while! Really admire your endurance and perseverance - the sense of satisfaction after a day like that must be immeasurable!
The images are fantastic, the photography ..............superb, well done, a long wait..............Hope to see more.
Thank you 😁 Yes stay tuned as there's plenty more where this came from!
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for taking the time to make it. I watched this from my sickbed and it's cheered me right up. 😊
Thanks!
Thank you for your support 🚵♀️🚵♂️
Cinematic❤
Whoohoo what a wonderful way to start my day ❤ Bless you both & continued safe travels ❤❤
Beautiful. So glad to see you both out there. I cannot wait to follow along with your journey.
Lovely to see you both, amazing scenery. Thanks for the update. Stay safe. xx
Great to see you both getting into your stride. Some beautiful scenery. The Black forest are in Germany is one of our favourites. Can't wait for the next installment. Be safe and keep warm.
Was so looking forward to your first video and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Well done and thanks for sharing 👍🇮🇪
Great to see you on your way. Good luck
Wow what a beautiful film!! Thank you so much!! I did a trip around europe two years ago, and I feel like you really captured the magic of cycle touring ❤
Amazing photography and such a wonderful beginning!
Hi Guys , well , my initial thoughts about your vid , were that it came across as you were in a hurry and really didn’t show much of the journey , so far ,then as it went on , you realised it too and started to relax and explore . I think you now need to start showing the places you visit/explore . Thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t wait for next update . Stay warm and safe 🤗
Brilliant video… well worth the wait.. looking forward to the next one already..the quality and attention to detail is amazing 🤩 Thank you for sharing your adventure so far ❤
Been a long time coming, but glad to see you are on your way, and it looks amazing 😊.
Dear Sarah and Josh! What an amazing journey!! 🤗you travelled through my home country Germany and I felt so excited about it!!🤗especially the last part through the forest and the ice and snow, I was really excited! Again such great filming and editing! What I also like is the fact that you found your own pace and route and that you don’t have a strict plan. Can’t wait for more, stay safe and warm!! Hugs from Iris from southwest Germany!🤩👋🤗🙋♀️🙏🙏🙏🍀🍀🍀
So glad you have adjusted to your own pace and are making your own route and adventure - live it moment by moment and enjoy it your way.
To film in the cold with all that takes is huge. Thank you for taking the time and effort to do so xx
Yes it makes such a difference, once we did we felt like we could ease into our style of trip so much more. It's definitely tougher filming in the cold but we are so passionate about these films, even freezing fingertips can't stop us 😅
I've eagerly awaited this video and it was a very inspiring watch. Thankyou
Wonderful video. I'm so looking forward to travelling with you as you make your way to India. ❤
Well it was worth the wait really enjoyed it. Found the episode to be quite a spiritual experience. I did feel that the background music when you were in the Check forrest had a sadness feeling to it just how it made me feel not sure why. Like that you guys set the pace and destinations that suit you. Looking forward to the next episode. ❤ Be safe and god bless.
Amazing guys ❤
Fantastic video and journey. Stay safe. Looking forward to your next steps into this unknown destination adventure 👍
This is amazing, very well put together, that you very much .
Enjoy your adventure I did the same 40 yrs ago at the age of 22 years for two yrs . There was no technology like there is today only me my bike and my camera. It was the most life changing thing I have ever done now iam a old man I smile lots for you both ❤
62? Thats not old. Keep riding! 👍
Keep on pedalling guys and thanks for sharing your adventure.
What is the most beautiful part of that great report, and the most incredible project ,is the love and bond between you too guys ,the way you look after each other is something absolutely gorgeous , well done both of you, I'll be following you from France .bon courage et bonne route.
What a lovely video. ❤
Finally, it's happening!!!
From watching your first video way back when until now with the anticipation of this day, probably the biggest in your outdoor life, has been a great journey for me too 🙂
With regards to the ghostly ghouls behind every tree, just remember Sarah that whatever is in the woods in daytime is all that is there during nighttime too. It's just that the sounds are amplified at night!
And Josh, sleep with next day's cycling clothes in the footwell of your sleeping bag, they'll be warm in the morning 😉
Great footage and content as always 🚲⛺👌👍
WOW!!! That is a beautiful and moving depiction of your journey so far! The filming and narration are wonderful and you two are absolutely charming. I can't wait for the next installment. Such a courageous and joyful endeavor!!
The cinematography is honestly insane
Great to see you both off on your adventure at long last. Have a wonderful time with lasting memories.
super stuff ..God Bless your journey ! 🙂
Awesome video guys, inspiring as always, safe travels 👍🏻
What an awesome video. Beautiful. And you capture a bit of how I would feel about touring in winter and yet you are doing still doing it!! hats off to you both.
Thank you for sharing.
Well done the two of you. Happy riding and all my best wishes. Will be watching expectantly for a fantastic trip. Good Luck.
Absolutely stunning video. Cinematography and soundtrack are top quality and deserves to be widely seen. Looking forward to the next video and the one after that the one after that too!
Great job guys! The filming quality and story telling are awesome. Can’t wait for more. Keep pedaling!
Beautiful. It’s also my style of bike-touring. Mastering the art of slowing down is a wonderful skill.
Wow! How amazing! Cannot wait for the next video!
Awesome! Wish you guys a good trip!
Outstanding video 😊
This is the best editing I've seen in a youtube video... just wow.. you guys are great!!
Yes the video I've been waiting for 😊
Great to see you having a blast
It also reminded me that these adventures are not always about the views, but the random people you meet
A wee bit of advice (you may already know this) but when camping in the cold, Once you've changed into what your sleeping in, before getting into the sleeping bag get outside do some exercises just enough to warm up the core of your body, then get into your sleeping bag, this way the bag will keep the heat in, don't get sweaty exercising though, I got told this by a fellow cyclist at a campsite and it made such a difference
I really enjoyed this episode. I haven’t watched your channel for a bit and am so pleased found you both again. This episode is wonderful and excellent video quality and commentary. That you hope your journey is “filled with detours “ is a lesson we should all learn and appreciably slow down and take note of the small details around us with wonder and delight. Thank you so much and I am excited to journey with you
Outstanding! Keep on peddeling and please keep on sharing your adventure.
Awesome first episode of your around the world trip! Excited for the next 😍 hope you are both well 🚵♀️🚵♂️
Dear Josh & Sarah, What a lovely surprise to see you back on this enchanting bike ride (while staying warm;) I must admit that I'm having a hard time with the climate cooling we're experiencing, and it's become a phobia because we're powerless. Your drone footage is hypnotically beautiful! I loved the sequence with Sarah biting into the chocolate but oops, there's like a second layer in there... In French-speaking countries, we have a cultural reference to the humorous masterpiece: ‘Le Père Noël est une Ordure’ (1982) in which there's a bit of the same scene:) Your cinematic vision takes us on a magical journey! Thanks for sharing^^
Wow just impressive ❤ we'll definitely be following the adventures ❤
Wow, such a beautifully crafted film with amazing shots, and all done in your amazing unique style. I love your approach to your journey 😀😀🚵🚵♀💚
Wow! What an epic journey you are making. I am not a cyclist but I recognize the enthusiasm of fellow travelers and adventurers. To see your delight as you relax into the rhythm of life on the move is nothing short of inspirational. I salute you! Stay safe and strong and savour those daily challenges. Thank you for sharing this journey with us -truly EPIC x
Please be careful once you get to India, especially Sarah
Cycling in India is IMO no more dangerous than cycling in the UK, Eastern Europe or Turkey - avoid the main roads whereever possible, assume other road users will do something stupid, follow what the locals do and watch out for poor road surfaces. That there is no good cycle routing (e.g. Garmin) in India is a problem, but there are some excellent routes if planned properly, and generally every main road has a service road next to it used by slower traffic which is very lightly trafficked. There is absolutely no reason for women to be any more careful than men in India.
Have a wonderful journey - thank you for taking us along!
A wonderful & inspiring video. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks so much!
A W E S O M E ! ! !
Absolutely incredible journey, hats off to you both for even contemplating such a trip without any real travel plans !! .. I have to say your video footage is breathtaking, especially the drone footage which is totally surreal ... How you manage to carry all this equipment on 2x bikes defies all the odds ... I look forward to your next episode and I wish you both well on your amazing travels.
Watching from INDIA ❤🇮🇳
Incredible quality - we are blown away watching!
I would love to make a trip like you both are doing,but not in America to dangerous.Germany Beautiful:)
Wonderful
So glad you were able to finally start your ride! Best of luck, be safe.
Beautiful video! I appreciate your reflections on how your perspective and mindset changes as you travel. Your commitment to being open to “detours” is inspiring!
We could watch this a 1000 times and still find it as mesmerising. So in love with what you're doing and the way you tell your tale. Completely agree about the enjoyment of taking it slow and noticing all the small moments around you. The journey is the best part. Can't wait for the next episode :)
I watching both of you from THAILAND.
"Not all those who wander are lost."
I’m so glad I found your channel today! Perfect timing!
Delighted to see you both happy and excited to have begun your mammoth journey. Looking forward to episode 2!
Beautiful. Slow. Editing genius. Musically delicious. Keep it slow and keep the stories coming. ❤
It’s like a TV series we are watching. Fantastic, what a wonderfully edited film. Thank you Sarah and Josh, stay safe. Looking forward to the next one ❤
Thanks, I have been waiting with anticipation to join you on your great journey. Under way at last and into winter too. Fantastic filming it makes it so real. Well done.
Gotta love it when the trip is so long you realize you don't need to plan beyond the next brew pub.
Brilliant
So enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing
Such awesomely beautiful photography. Thank you for sharing the adventure you are on. You are inspiring and create a tangible sense of calmness.
