I am cycling around the planet

Who am I? What am I doing?
An introduction to "Cycling around the planet"
My name is Niels Jansen and I'm pursuing my dream of cycling around the planet. In March 2020, just before most of the world got into lockdowns and border closures in response to a spreading virus, I left home in the Netherlands and started cycling north. I cycled as far north as the road goes, to North Cape. The first part of my dream had become reality. But I kept on dreaming, and I kept on cycling. I'm now on my way from North Cape in Norway to Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.
An ordinary young guy going on the adventure of a lifetime. In my video series "Cycling around the planet" I show you what it's like to travel solo around the world on a bicycle. What the world looks like through the eyes of a lone wandering cyclist. The beautiful scenery, the empty roads, the amazing people, the animals, the joys of cycling. But also the moments of sadness and loneliness, the difficult times.
Filming a solo bicycle tour takes a lot of time, effort and dedication. But I love to share what I do and I hope you like following me and enjoy watching my videos.

I can feel peace and compy through watching your videos. Beautiful music and reality make me in it. Such a magical planet I have never seen before. Congratulations to you that you are on your dreaming way. Appreciations to you that you share your adventures cycling solo. We lived in the big city for so long and did not have the chance to see around the planet. The best gift for me is your videos.

[@robinschoof8571]

Hee Niels, Super vette video's man! Welke fiets heb je? lijkt een Trek920, niet? Ook vroeg ik me af op welke manier jij navigeert. Have fun on your amazing journey!! Robin

[@cyclingaroundtheplanet]

Hi Robin, Ik heb inderdaad een Trek920. Ik gebruik Oruxmaps met offline kaarten van openandromaps voor navigatie.

[@pierrrejette9023]
