[@ZachHarris]

Iohan, it’s been a couple of years since you’ve passed, but I just wanted to say thank you. I found your videos when I was 15 years old and you made me begin dreaming about bikepacking and showed me that anything is possible with determination. Tomorrow I begin riding 4,205 miles across America. Your name will be written on my bike and you’ll go on yet another adventure this fall. You are deeply missed, but never forgotten. Rest in peace

[@blub2121]

This is heartbreaking, I didn't even know he killed himself until now where I went through my old YT subscriptions. I watched his original Arctic video 9 y ago when it was released and subscribed then when there were like 2000 people.

[@DukeRustyZX05]

I’m just finding out about this, and I’m so heartbroken. His videos were the greatest inspiration to me for cross country cycling. It’s so sad his life ended this way. I wish his situation could’ve been cured so he could continue riding. Rest in peace Iohan. You’ll forever been an inspiration to see the world.

[@OregonMikeH]

AMEN TO THAT, WATCHING HIS VIDEOS WITH SUCH INCREDIBLE MUSIC MATCH UP + HIS LIVING WITH US ALWAYS.

I like the idea of writing his name in your bike. I cannot say goodbye neither.

[@forestyforest]

Watching this series unfold, it was very hard to believe how much you accomplished. I still can't wrap my head around the places you reached with a bicycle and sheer determination. The Arctic? Lets do it in winter. A language barrier? Ok I'll learn to speak Spanish. The Darien Gap? I'll just paddle the ocean. Mountains? All of them. You were truly a superhuman, and an inspiration for us all.

Et pourtant la peine que je ressens à chaque fois que je regarde un de ses vidéos est immense. La peine d’avoir perdu un véritable humaniste, un amoureux de la nature, une personne tellement aimable avec les gens et les animaux. Oui, la douleur que je ressens chaque fois que je regarde ses films est aussi profonde que la joie quelle dégage. Une joie immense, indescriptible.

I learned today he passed. I remembered watching him when I was 19 years old (28 years old now) when he was still in cycling from Tuktoyaktuk, Canada. I just don't know what to say, I am shocked beyond belief that he passed away two years ago at the age of 33. Still young. Iohan, RIP. You're the reasons why I wanted to see the world, especially South America. An inspiration to us all! Yours Truly, John from the Philippines, ❤

[@SusannahMagee]

I just started watching Iohan's videos today and I was elated by their beauty and humanity, and now I am devastated that he is gone. Something that is so important in the world is to keep people around who are real and not afraid to go against the conformity of society, to be their true selves, unpretentious, not afraid of judgement because they don't have a career or the newest bike or are wearing duct taped pants, for example. I know in one minute of watching his videos that Iohan was one of those people. And he is an example of a human who was unafraid of being different, living as a nomad (Imagine his grandma saying at family gatherings "What is iohan doing - he should be an accountant married with a 9-5 job?") , enough to record his brave and independent explorations sharing secret beautiful places in our world with all of us. I am thankful there is a record of him here because he was worthy of being remembered.

[@pauloramirez8216]

Iohan you leave an empty void in my heart, in the heart of my family, and friends. I remember the times you spent in my place. I remember the times we hung out when I was in Colombia visiting family, I remember when I used to help you with the items you needed for your long trips. I remember you were going to give me Deadhorse but we decided that it was put to best use for a fortunate young kid in Colombia, and I remember when you told me that I was more than welcomed to come along with you on one of your many trips, but I was hesitant and too busy with my own life. I should've taken that time off and spent it traveling with you even if it was just a month or so. Iohan you are a good friend, a humble soul. I will miss you so much, and there's no words that can describe the pain I feel that you are no longer in this world. As a veteran I've suffered from depression, and I should've known better, i should've asked you if you were OK, specially after this pandemic, because I knew you were a free bird, and you were caged for too long. Iohan my great friend rest in peace. You changed my life for good, and I know you changed many others too. Thank you for sharing your epic adventure, such an legendary adventure that too little people saw the proportions of such a feat one human could do with determination, grit, and sheer willpower, and thank you for sharing many private moments in your life with me, I feel so honored that you did. I just wish you could've told me that you were suffering so much mentally, I could've probably helped you as I have been also, and I have been through that road that sometimes seems impossible. Anyways Iohan me and my family love you as one of our own. God bless you Iohan. Sincerely your friend, Paulo.

Hello friends, it is with a heavy heart that I pass this news. Iohan's journey in this world came to end on August 19th.

In the meantime, please consider donations to suicide prevention organizations or sleep disorder awareness foundations in Iohan's name.

I was today years old to learn of his passing. I am deeply saddened for what happened, but also amazed of the way he lived his last years. What he left behind him, how much of the world he managed to share with us. I loved to listen his voice, and wait for the adventures. He will be remebered by many. Here i lay, in my bed, unable to sleep, i can relate what he went trough, maybe that is why i have the same longing to go and travel, to live my life like it is supposed to be lived, free. I am sick and tired of these comfy walls ive put around me. Now i remenicense watching the last video of him, and try to find solace in it.

[@windywendy45]

I always have watched quietly your videos and leave a message here for the first time. Not a single touch with you, but I'm amazed at how much I can miss you, a traveler. For 6 years, I looked like a super strong human standing in the world with a bicycle. In the end, hearing the news that he had arranged his life on his own, it is true that this is his life. Traveling on the road for 6 years If someone think 'I can be into the wild like Iohan if I have money, willpower, health, and time.', it would be false. In Iohan, there were such a special humble, purely simple and primitive beauty, It was lohan's special and complete communication to share with us. It was as if there was some kind of emotional connection with him. I dared to blame him for his last choice, but I decided to remember him forever. Someone said he probably lived three times his life than others. now I feel even lonely now though I don't have any chance face-to-face with him. what a great spirit. one day, I wish our paths may cross. I will also follow you as others to SEE THE WORLD, to SEE THE REAL WORLD. 고마워요. 편히 쉬세요.

[@melaniedl4774]

[@ikarusxv]

I'm learning the news at this moment and I'm shocked. I started watching his videos many years ago while I was living in Chile and he was still in Canada. Then I moved to Central America and he was traveling south. We crossed out paths at some point. Then I moved to Canada and he reached Chile/Argentina. He spent a long time in the south of Chile, where I come from. He made me feel nostalgic of my country while I was in his country. I felt always very connected to his experience. I don't travel by bike but I have lived and visited most of the places he visited while moving in the opposite direction. Rest in peace.

Certain figures in the world(s) of cycling, in all its manifestations, leaving iconic impressions, good and bad. Sheldon Brown and Ian Hibell come immediately to my mind. And certainly, for his gift for the aesthetic of our world, for his raw grit and fortitude, for his immense curiosity, Iohan has taken a place there. Each of these films ("video" seems to demean) is an award-winning documentary, if I had my way. Thank you to whomever is keeping his work online.

[@stingraybob8933]

Just heard the sad news... For some unknown reason, on the day Iohan passed on August 19th I decided to start rewatching his whole series of videos, just before I set out on travels of my own in the Rockies. While out there, I happened to recognize a place in Colorado Springs but didn't know where I had seen it... The next morning, I just so happened to watch Iohan's early video as he rode his bike past the house with the large sculptures - what a strange coincidence... I first found Iohan's adventure videos in 2015, in the months leading up to my first extended-travel trek in the backcountry. Iohan and I are about the same age, and he approaches nature and adventure the same way I always have. I had hoped/expected that someday we would cross paths, and I always looked forward to those upcoming videos from the southern tip of South America... Iohan has been my biggest inspiration since 2015, just last week I was thinking about that. If I could say that about any one human, it would be him. I've shared his videos and story with literally hundreds of people. He was always so genuine, and truly the best attitude of any "content creator" on the internet. No ego, no flashiness, no pushy striving for followers and likes, just honesty and being a real human. It is no small feat to be able to capture all these moments on film, and to share these genuine, intimate moments in such a transparent way. I've tried, I've spent hundreds of hours trying, but have not even approached the natural talent this man had for it. He was destined for great things, and accomplished many of them, while never making it about him alone. It always felt that he wanted to share it with us, these rare and difficult moments, and what it takes to find the highest heights in this world. If I could say anything to Iohan now, its that he has taught me to never stop seeking, and I never will stop. While his internal struggles eventually did consume him, he experienced far more in his short life than most ever will. This is not my final memorial to the great man Iohan Gueorgueiv, my life of adventure in the backcountry will be that. Somewhere in the spine of the Americas, those great mountains, this man's spirit still roams...

[@stingraybob8933]

Just providing a relevant update to this comment: While dreaming last night I found myself on some dirt road in a faraway land, riding a bike thru the mountains with a friend of mine. Eventually we reached a small town with a shop, and sat down at the table out front with a couple other people I didn't know. We got into some deep conversation about the struggles of life... My friend that I was biking with was Iohan, and he passed me a note that he had written at the table. I don't remember much of what it said but there was one line similar to "We all carry our struggles with us, and some of us have silently carried these struggles with grace and while sharing noble deeds with the world. At some point the load becomes too hard to bear, and a reward is deserved for the lifetime of hard work and benevolence. There is no need to suffer endlessly." I read the note and couldn't argue with his reasoning, I began to cry and hugged him, crying on his shoulder, saying that he didn't have to take his reward yet, it didn't have to be this way. He told me it would be alright and had some classic Iohan humor and light heartedness in his voice. I realized that the moment I experienced was some possible future in our lives, that I was living out one episode of a video he had not yet filmed and released. The adventure continued but took a dark path within that shop, and he was gone. I woke up at this point, in the middle of the night and contemplated what just happened. Sure, I never met him in person in our waking life, but I just experienced a shared adventure and a long conversation in some alternate world... Maybe we will meet again someday

Before heading off to my first bike tour I watched your videos with my parents to help explain to them what I was hoping to attempt and experience. I was both terrified and excited to try and bicycle a small part of what you had accomplished. My first bicycle trip changed me and my life forever and you were an integral part of that. Thank you for what you could share. May your bike never break down again and may the wind be always at your back.

Too sad news.. I cannot believe it.. rest on peace.. will be remember always..

[@mattdrummond3552]

About 7 or 8 years ago I found this channel and was addicted to these vlogs. I’m commenting now because I saw all these “RIP” comments and got very sad. I can’t believe he’s gone. How wonderful to have all of his videos. RIP Iohan , independent soul.

[@tobewiser6738]

My dear Iohan, you were the one and only, one masterpiece--everyone else will always be a copy. Wish I can walk through the pearly gate and pull you back and be your shadow so you'd be less lonely. I believe in rebirth and hope you will come again to dry our tears. ;./

I can't believe that you are no longer there, showing us the World at such awesome your way! Thank you for all, Iohan!

[@MiniFun92]

Morning Light - Josh Garrels This is the song i first time heard watching his videos. So amazeing. Every time i hear it i remember Iohan :)

[@spiked1961]

I was saddened to learn that Iohan died back in the month of August *2021). Iohan's videos provided a window to many would be adventurers. His legacy is and will continue to be one of inspiration. My sincerest sympathies to his family and friends.

[@jorgeeduardo9940]

Segui Viajando Iohan ... segui.... Mire todos tus videos casi sin entender el idioma... no importaba, el mensaje me llegaba igual. Viaje con vos por momentos en mi imaginacion... Tu forma de tomar la vida es admirable y muestra tu valentia. Ya estas en las estrellas pibe.... QEPD

My Friend wherever you are i hope you are in peace !! My heart broke into a million pieces when i heard about your demise !! I never met you , never talked with you but admired you so much ! On your every adventure, i felt i was with you, travelling on a bike and piercing every obstacle and living every dream !! You will be a hero, you are a legend until memories fade !! Respect and love for whatever you did !! You lived the life which millions others wished for !! You provided peace and solace to us through your courageous adventures in this dark and cruel world !! Your perspective of life was so unique and you accomplished so much in your life that million’s others couldn’t even if they are born 100 times. I am just so heartbroken. Your kindness, your ways of handling things, your thirst for adventure and exploring will remain second to none brother !! You just gave hope through every dark phase of life. You had a magical vibe which used to take us away from this filthy selfish materialistic world. I just miss you man 💔 peace to you man 👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️

I can not stop watching Iohan even after 4 years... Amazing Iohan

[@Steve-el9by]

Me too

[@blackness8998]

In 2017 i was cycling from Portugal to India. My first ever cycling travel. I felt good about how i took on my adventure and thought i was fearless by wild camping anywhere,sleeping on benches as a homeless,riding my old&simple bicycle,living on a 5 euro/day budget etc. But then i discovered Iohans' the SEE THE WORLD youtube channel. I was really very,very impressed by how he took on his epic ride. No fear of bears (or anything really),paddling along the Darian Gap,going totally off-road,sometimes even with his bike and everything on his back. He inspired me a whole lot on that cycling-trip i was doing myself. Sometimes when i got stuck or something like that,i would think 'what would Iohan do?' I would also not cycle in a straight line,but if i would see something nice like a nature-reserve,or a nice big mountain for example,i would just go for it going off my planned route. Just like Iohan did. I knew he had gone off the road because of Covid,but only just found out he passed away last year. I just came here to check where he would be now,what he was doing during these unusual times... Im shocked and in disbelief...I always thought of him as being watched and 'guided' by a higher spirit or something,and thought he would just cycle around the world forever.. Such a nice,friendly,positive,strong,intelligent,undertaking person he was. Cant believe he's gone. Rest in peace Iohan,i will miss your beautyfull videos (i mean,they were done so nicely!) and your inspiring words. Im sure you brought a lot of love and strength to all the people you met on the road,and also to those following your great journey on youtube. Thanks for everything!!!

[@ceridonohana2985]

I am so saddened by your passing, Iohan. I think I speak for 1,000s of people when I say, it's been hard to take. You inspired so many people. I, for one, returned to bike packing after a 2-1/2 decade hiatus because I accidentally found your films. Seeing the world through your eyes was beautiful, touching and sometimes jaw-dropping. And now...the question that many of us are asking is, "What happens when the person we lived vicariously through, passes away?" I guess we see the world for ourselves.

[@Nessgui]

Such terrible news! He inspired me to travel the world on a bike and we crossed paths during two years in South America. Thank you @Chile Vuela for letting us know, stay strong.

[@guenthermichaels5303]

I just found out. My heart is breaking. I am a 66 year old Canadian. I followed you for years. Thank you Iohan for sharing your journey Much Appreciation from Toronto

[@eugenetaheny2168]

I watched every episode of your channel...such an inspiring and loving human being...! I'm happy that you lived the life you wanted and over the past 7+ seven years you experienced much more then any of us could only dream of...! 🚴⛺🎥📷 RIP my friend...❤️ From all your mates in Australia 🇦🇺

[@604Bluelight]

I am so crushed to hear of your passing. Go Rest In Peace my friend. You have inspired me for many years. :( 😢

[@Brendanno100]

Apart from the unforgettable photography and wonderful music and the deeply thoughtful and gentle soul Iohan was my favorite moments were in the North Pole blizzard, where are you going? Argentina!! Argentina!!! And then in Chile the horse rider, where have you come from? Iohan Alaska, horse rider, Alaska!!! I will miss him RIP

[@perroconchaleco17]

Leí mucho sobre tu historia y vi montones de veces tus vídeos. Ver a un tipo cruzar el desierto en bicicleta, tener la nieve hasta las rodillas y seguir con su bicicleta al hombro o cruzar el tapón de Darién en un pequeño bote inflable son cosas a veces tan absurdas que junto con la tremenda admiración me generaban mucha risa. Simplemente gracias Iohan, desde hace mucho tiempo que difundo tu historia y lo seguiré haciendo. De los seres humanos más extraordinarios que he visto.

[@joeyhyland]

RIP Iohan. Sad day for the wandering spirits. I’ll think of you when I reach the summit.

[@mrt2690]

Thank you for showing us the world Iohan! Rest in peace

[@backpackerdad6905]

My heart is so heavy right now. Iohan has inspired me to adventure by bike. His kindness towards animals (especially local dogs), his attitude. You will be missed Godspeed Iohan, RIP 😢

Thank You Iohan. You have been a true inspiration for many of us. You will be missed. Rest in Peace Brother. Un abrazo enorme.

[@jolotschka]

In our minds he rides forever. A kind heart a true inspiration, who lived the dreams we could not achieve. Thx for all the videos to give us the chance to participate on the longest journey.

[@twosomeexploits6176]

I've just rewatched this for the 3rd or 4th time. And it just clicked on me..the deep sadness he must have been feeling while editing segment 21:42- 27:20. such intense emotion running through this hauntingly beautiful song. Rest in peace Iohan.

[@renotyuk]

I’m so shocked at this news .. I feel numb, iohan has always been there for me on KZbin .. I wanted to be like him, alone in the wild with himself … love you buddy

I wish I could have helped him. Sad !!

أحر التعازي القلبية لأسرة هذا الشاب الرائع ولكن هذه الحياة لابد ان تنتهي في يوم من الأيام نشكر لك أفلامك الجميله والتي كانت محفزه لنا لاكتشاف هذا الكوكب الجميل نسأل الله حسن الخاتمه My deepest condolences to the family of this wonderful young man, but this life must end one day. We thank you for your beautiful films, which motivated us to discover this beautiful planet.

[@Thomson07]

Iohan thank you for everything you have done, you are a true inspiration. You are the reason I found my love for exploration and travel. In the upcoming years I plan the have a trip of my own, I have grand dreams that may be unrealistic to most, but you are the person that made me realize they aren’t. I’ll miss you, rest easy.

[@joshctaylor]

I'm so sorry to hear the sad news that you are no longer with us. You inspired me and Tink to cycle the world. It was a huge occasion for us when you made a new video. We'd always hoped we'd end up crossing paths with you. You are a true legend and I hope you will See the World in another way on the other side. Thank you so much for taking us with you in yours with these videos. You have felt like a friend to me even though we never met. Where ever you are now I hope you will find peace.

[@jaywhite2759]

Your passing is so sad but I only hope you are now in a better place. The same place to took all of us too while viewing your films. A real inspiration and very talented story teller that I and no doubt many others will miss. Travel well my friend tonight I raise a glass to Iohan 🍺

[@lachmantravel]

It's hard to watch the videos knowing that you're gone. You are and will still be an enormous inspiration to so many, showing us the world and all its beauty, and proving that attitude and determination can really take you wherever you want. Peace, Iohan.

[@bo3ag661]

I know why I’m crying..what a pure soul with a big heart you was ! See you soon in another world !

[@bustosmark070407]

Today, I am going trough something in my life and it's becoming unbearably heavy everyday and it always gives me the sense of stopping it all but then I think of the day where I would pack my bags, leave the burdens behind and travel and see the world just like Iohan did. Today, in one of my toughest days, I thought I'd watch him again to have my escape. But Iohan found his own. Rest in peace brother. I'm still shocked to learn this and it gives me another perspective to think about.

[@_modnar_]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts ❤ Seeing people return to his page and talk about their lifes and/or the impact Iohan had on them, always makes me sad but happy as well. Hope you are ok! ❤ P.S.: If I am correct, today is Iohan's birthday (January 20.)

[@branan6935]

I hope you're doing well ❤️‍🩹

He was so young . I didn’t know he was 33. What a tragedy. It’s always the kind and gentle spirit that leave us soon.

[@Philonix]

I followed him for long, I got inspired by his journey, I bought a bike, and learnt that I like hiking more, I want to travel slow, and see everything, I am still a bit impatient sometime. Now I have the plan to next year take 7 months of and walk aroundy my country the netherlands, and sometime walk al the 11000 km of trails. He gave me so much energy and things to look forward for, he will life in my being forever., I would not be what I am without his inspiration. Hope he lives forward in our Adventures

[@langerspeck7811]
