Our 5,000 mile Journey Across Australia [

In 2019, I embarked on my biggest journey yet. I aimed to travel across 36 countries in 12 months, trying to discover what car culture was like around the world. #DriveTheWorld 'The Movie' looks back at that amazing year, sharing unseen footage and photos as well as telling unheard stories.

[@meetparekh3330]

@@seenthroughglass I thoroughly enjoyed the original DTW content, and this extension just made my entire Quarantine month a whole lot better mate!

[@Papusiakk]

I'm halfway through the video and all I can say is...thank you Sam! I've been stuck at home for the past two months during lockdown here in Italy and this is like a breath of fresh air. Even though I had already followed your journey during 2019, it's always nice to recap the whole adventure. To be fair you're such a great storyteller that sometimes it feels like I took this trip myself. Can't wait for the next episodes, stay safe and thanks!

[@airfolio6913]

One of the best KZbin videos I have ever watched - DTW was fantastic and this commentary style doc is the stalk on the cherry on the icing of the cake. Great to have both opinions on your travels! The content, presentation and style is streaks ahead of ANY other car KZbinr.

[@dotcomdudee]

Absolutely amazing Sam. The best content you have ever produced. On behalf of all of us, THANK YOU and V for sharing your journey!

[@chrisdyson5513]

Adequate superlatives elude me but I will have a go. This is absolutely brilliant and better by far than anything on tv right now (which is where it should be as a series). Best travelogue I have ever watched. Lovely to finally see Viki, who is delightful by the way. Her lighthearted perspective, delivered with characteristic female honesty, is a real treat.You two compliment each other so well. Roll on part two!

[@ga5manwilliams]

Thank you Sam. What a way to chill out after a long day at work. Excellent content as always.
