hahaha indeed, I used to lose a lot of weight during my expeditions there.

I know bro, I've been to indonesia about 10 times and I spent 4 months cycling in 7 islands. I love your country very much, one of my favourite in the world

Pero qué lindas palabras Juan! No sabes cuán bien me hacen :) . Espero que puedas lanzarte a pedalear fuera tu país lo antes posible y veas la magia de descubrirlo al paso de la bici. Un fuerte abrazo!

Thanks a lot ! :) I'm glad you enjoyed it

😃 muchísimas gracias Ana! Después de todo eso vinieron estos últimos años de estabilidad y mayor predictibilidad, pero en cualquier momento los vuelvo a cortar para volver a la incertidumbre de la aventura jejejeje. Ya veremos! Gracias por comentar y me alegro muchísimo que te gusten los videos. Tengo planeado hacer una nueva serie en estos meses que siguen.

¿y qué? El video es para mí, no es para vos ni para nadie más. Nadie te obliga a mirarlo si no lo disfrutas.

@@80lives es que esté mal...pero la verdad no tiene buena edición

@@TheLastNomad117 y bueno, quizás el error fundamental es que estés esperando una obra de arte visual de alguien que no es videográfo ni camarógrafo. No le pidas peras al olmo. Mis videos no son profesionales ni jamás los planteé con la intención de que lo sean. Aún así, un montón de gente los disfruta, y con eso me alcanza. Si buscás algo más profesional, tienes millones y millones de videos disponibles en KZbin y Vimeo, así que te equivocaste de canal con el mío.

@@80lives solo digo que podrías mejorarlo... En estos tiempos ya no se requiere ser un profesional para hacer buen contenido.... basta con tener algún celular y estar un poco familiarizado con las tecnologías solo como sugerencia si pones un impacto mayor a tu contenido tendrás mucha gente viendo esto y no solo por qué aparezca como recomendado en KZbin sino por qué tu contenido sería real mente bueno

@@TheLastNomad117 lo sé muy bien, pero el video me aburre, lleva mucho tiempo que no quiero invertir y no me interesa competir con nadie. De todas maneras gracias por tu sugerencia. Te recomiendo los videos de mi amigo Kamaranonbike, esos te van a gustar. Son una obra de arte. Disfrutalos

Muchísimas gracias Fernanda! Me alegro mucho que te guste :)

what do you mean?

Thanks man! Glad you like it. Camping depends on too many variables to describe in a comment. Every day is different, everyday circumstances change and you just simply adapt to them each day the way you see fit on the spot. As far as West Africa, well, aside from being an incredibly diverse and fascinating part of the world that I couldn't live without visiting, it was part of my cycling trip around the world and part of it was cycling the entire African continent. This video reflects only half of the second half of Africa. Check my Africa I and Africa II videos, to see the rest.

@@80lives Thank you, Sir. I hitchhiked from the Gambia to Algeria, but I will cycle to South Africa from London on Wednesday. What do you recommend being your best bit of advice?

@@80lives Also, I am not sure what handle bag I should get for it. Would you recommend?

@@aleddavies680 again you are asking me something that could take me a book to describe hahah. So I recommend you to head over to my website www.nicolasmarino.com read the Africa FAQ and the bicycle gear articles if you need it and then you've got dozens of stories in the blog (which I'm not done with yet but I"m positing more or less weekly to finish with the Africa stories)

hahaha!!

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. I used a Nikon D800 and a Nikon 14-24 mm f2.8 for all my photos and timelapses in this trip. All the info is in my website www.nicolasmarino.com on Articles section

@@80lives thanks again !

Not at all. If anything, we got nothing but the best of treatment from Police men in Egypt. Yes, they do claim that some areas are very dangerous and because of their concern they inform you that you'll be escorted, and they escort you for as long as you need it at 15 km/h. They were never forceful, let alone violent. They were probably bored that they had to stick with us riding bicycles while they were sweltering in their patrol at 45C. As for the second event you describe, well, anything can happen anywhere you go in the world both good, bad and neutral. My advice would be to never be intimidated just because something bad happens to someone. That's really not an objective way to see reality. I've had really ugly encounters along my way in many different country, most of which I describe in my blog stories, but by no means I'd tell you to avoid a country for that. What's more, and especially seeing these stories from a distance, you don't get to contemplate that for every "bad" situation, there's an avalanche of incredibly wonderful experiences that you go through, and usually the ratio is 1000000:1 . Likewise, if I rave about how amazing one country is just because I experience nothing bad and you get the impression that it's all good there, that wouldn't be a reason to drop your guard. That wouldn't say anything else other than what I experience there at a moment in time, and it'd be as subjective as taking bad experiences as a deterrent. Security is a superstition! Go anywhere you like and use common sense and wise judgement and you'll be fine, even when you get to go through some bumps. :)

haha, that's the wrong question! The question is why would I take a good, boring and well-known road?

Thanks Till! No problems with animals in Angola. Most of them went extinct due to the 27 years of civil war. However, on the other side of the border in Namibia it was an issue every night and day. Very scary at times.
