Iohan, wherever you are now...this is your legacy. Epic journeys...captured in vids. When iam reading the comments its all about how you inspired ppl to live the life they really want. Yesterday 4 oct 2021 it was Divali and suddenly this idea came to me. Iam gone try to make a compilation of your journeys and show it on the big screen. Maybe at (high)schools, university. Your legacy must not be lost. RIP🙏

[@eshvartz]

3 times I've cried watching this. A 35 yo man, feeling trapped in the rat race. The 1st time, I'll admit, was colored with envy. The 2nd time, I cried because it was all just so beautiful and pure (Alaska, the people, Iohan himself and his journey). The 3rd, well.. I just broke apart.. It all came together crashing at me, the beauty of it all and the sadness of my state. I live in a tiny tiny land that's one of the most populated on the planet. I'll try and get inspiration from this video and others.. I'll find a way, I just know the open road awaits me. Peace and love to everyone, Eitan from Israel ♥

At 77 years young, I'm not sure I'll ever make it to Alaska, but it's at the top of my bucket list for certain. God willing I will make it someday. If I don't, I will relish all this beauty and vastness of Alaska you have shown me. Thank you so much for all of it and your wonderful adventurous spirit and wanderlust..

[@noroux]

I went to visit my brother and his family who lives in Anchorage, Alaska in the summer of 2015. I travelled from Trinidad in the Caribbean to New York then on to Las Vegas from there to Denver, Colorado and finally to Anchorage Alaska. I spent two weeks there exploring the wonders of this magnificent and beautiful wild and untamed place. My return home took me from Anchorage to Seattle, Washington then to Dallas, Texas where I took a flight back home to Trinidad in the West Indies. This was by far the greatest adventure of my life.

[@iangascoyne4274]

It’s a great loss to all us humans, that you are no longer with us Iohan . Your beautiful films live on tho , God bless you and keep you .

I'm still watching this in 2019 I watched this first time 2015 I remember everything so vividly day that I watched this so strange I love it! :) EDIT: Thank you Ihoan for all! You were really a beautiful soul, Rest in peace Iohan, will miss your videos so much, but I will never stop watching them especially this episode! can't even believe it 😢

Iohan! This was amazing. I can't imagine how much work it took to edit it. Great job! You have documented an amazing journey. At one point, I cried, it was such a beautiful landscape. I love all the wildlife and people you documented along the way...certainly unforgettable. Thanks for taking us along. You should be very proud of your accomplishments. I must visit Alaska! Jo

[@felixantoinetremblay]

I stayed at the green cabin in May, on my way to Deadhorse. I had forgotten about it since I originaly saw your video! Thanks for inspiring me (and others). I met many people who knew about you :)

[@abuluftmensch7624]

Iohan exudes joy, curiosity and kindness. I wish he were continuing his journey around the world. What a sad loss. I wish he could've pulled through that tough stretch. I know what the darkness feel like. You don't know it at the time but it always ends.

For a man, mostly alone...Iohan touched alot of people both in life and death. We will miss you

[@cyclingfreeman]

I just love your videos, for every one I watch, I get more and more inspired...dreaming so much of being able to leave everything behind for a while and just be free, explore this incredible planet, and feel alive! Thanks so much for everything!!!

[@forestyforest]

Good job brother, living the dream.

[@75metrodown]

Holy shit!!! I had watched this video a few months back and then this week I randomly came across Sarah outen's book (a dip in the ocean) and while reading it, I also read her Wikipedia page. Then today it struck me that she might be that lady going around the world that iohan met in one of his video!!! So after a half an hour of going through your videos I found her!!! You both are awesome

[@TheDyzaztyR]

breathtaking! awe inspiring! Iohan you have made this video so perfect that I can feel the chills in my spine and goose bumped while watching this video at my comfortable desk. Such an amazing video, you edited it so majestically that one can not done it the way you did it. Alaska! ah man you just made me fell in love with it. I would like to know which part of the year you visited there because I find it quite fascinating and conditions look good not that bad. Hats off to your passion and the time you took to share these experiences with us. have a blessed life.

[@IohanGueorguiev]

thank you Zuhair, i was there in late august/early sept.

[@skepperstad]

you know how to describe Alaska.....its GODS COUNTRY....

[@joshmalech]

Fantastic video! I love when you talked about the difficult weather you had to go through. "If this is part of Alaska, then this is what I wanted to see" - something along those lines. It reminds me of some of the journey's and trips I have taken. I once traveled over 1,500 miles (probably not alot for you) to see Monument Valley in Utah, and got caught in a snow storm for a couple days. I was dissapointed... but if that is part of what Monument Valley is like, then that is what I wanted to see. Your words have given me a whole new perspective, and maybe one day we will run into each other on our journeys! If you ever have some free time, check out my videos!

looks like the pamir highway from Kyrgyzstan to Tajikistan. beautiful nature

I always wonder about the people Iohan met along the way on his great journey, who don't know the ending... Will they break down like I did when they find out? I'm sure they will...

[@ECsponger2]

Living in Alaska has been my daydream so far, and though I'm thousands km away from it, I can get enjoyment from such videos... Thank you so much for the unbelievable trip, good luck in the furthest adventures !

[@wbuttry1]

I would describe Alaska as breath taking most amazing harshest and also the most beautiful state in the union . It is almost a country of it's own . And the people seem so pleasant and kind it just seems like it is not on this planet. And Lohan you have depicted it so well in your travels. If you ever make it to the bootheel of Missouri look me up on warm showers and I can give you a place as long as you need it and probally get you some part time work.

[@SolarAdrift]

This is truly incredible. Very eye-opening. I live in Vancouver, and I've always wanted to get out of the big city and experience nature for what it really is. I've gone on trips, and been camping, but never to the extent that you have. I aspire to do what you do someday, and I wish you good luck on the rest of your journey through the Americas! Also, I think I want to move to Whitehorse in the future, and seeing that you've been there (in one of your past videos), what are your thoughts on the city?

[@IohanGueorguiev]

+Bossome_gamer to be honest I never spent enough time to be able to tell you much about the city. It looks nice, downtown is great, i think a lot of outdoorsy-oriented folks (and there are many places to ski, raft, hike, bike, etc. nearby). Best to visit before you move there, that way you can see what you like about it :)
