I have not joined Patreon until now. There are many KZbinrs I really like, and I don't know how to prioritize them- so I have been a patron to one. But when a man rides through subfreezing weather, rides through the drug lords field to bring us the beauty in the world . . . well that's a man who's courageous and dedicated. To me, he deserves my support. Its great to know you're out there Iohan, and informing us, entertaining us, and inspiring us!

[@recessiontwentytwenty3858]

"Although I sometimes wonder if they just wanted to get my finger prints on those guns" Too funny 😂😂😂😂

[@arlett0009tj]

So sad knowing that there will be no more Iohan new videos ☹️

[@Martin-8oll]

Iohan, I only knew about you after your departure from this earth. Thank you for such serene and beautiful videos and for being such and inspiration. RIP amazing human!

[@Radoslaw731]

I was fortunate to talk to him via messenger 😊. We talked that he could meet me in Poland, sadly it will never happen 😢

[@joynthis]

Jeez. Crossing Mexican mountains with a loaded tourer via goat paths. I myself am working on the energy to go get another beer.

[@miguelrodvel1548]

Acabo de encontrarme con tu canal y al mismo tiempo supe que ya no estás en este plano. Gracias por mostrar la belleza de una vida simple. Pasaste por el lugar donde vivo. En paz descanses hermano.

[@K9OutdoorsSearchTeam]

These videos of yours Iohan are much better than anything you could ever see on television. Your a star.

[@thomasmcandrews6637]

Bro, you are a legend and you will be always be miss

[@GregMcCahon]

Miss you Iohan

[@petercblank]

So good, man! Thanks for helping remind people here that the vast majority of Mexican people are kind, friendly, genuine and inviting! I eagerly await your next video!

[@willoughby1888]

"For helping" was correct, he did very much help. The people I encountered in the video(s) did the most to 'help' show who they are at heart and mind though. I give them, and you all more credit than any social video could ever hope to do. Maine says to say, "Hello". More Mexican people are arriving here and liking it enough from what I see. I'm a Californian, Texan transplant from Florida, who has also resided in Washington, Oregon and Wisconsin but have lived here since 1998. Maine is different than all those other places. There's a reason I'm still living here and not there.

[@willoughby1888]

I love your heart and mind, Iohan. Sadly, it's just too late to tell you, so I'll add my honest thoughts to the collection of others. Not one commentator has spoken badly about you, or even went down the path of easy criticisms to ride upon your adventurous coattails while pretending to be helpful. You never bragged, you just shared. And then shared and shared and shared your life with us. You could have kept all that to yourself, like many probably do. You wasn't in it for mere conquest. That's what made the difference, we got to know you. You spoke to us. Thank you, Iohan for being who you are and were here while on earth. We'll go on a decently-long, fluffy cloud-to-cloud bike ride later after I meet you, you know, after perishing and then visiting "the bone yard" for a time(unless they just burn the heck out of my body). You take your sweet time securing things. I won't be but a moment in the scheme of thing. I got one important appointment first and then I'll be right there with my new cloud bike. Yes, my heart will be 'judged accordingly' and then we'll go on that mentioned bike ride together, my unmet buddy... and "amigo".

[@mauriciofalomir3712]

I'm glad you didn't judge Chihuahua by the media and went there and found it out by yourself that it is all right! So much respect to you brother, hope you are having a nice trip. Cheers! Mauricio, from Chihuahua.

[@captainLoknar]

In time nobody will trust the media and see the true heart of those little gem places full of life. Off the beaten path - this dude gets us!

[@federicocrespo4995]

Caro ioham você ainda faz a gente sentir essa sensação maravilhosa de liberdade!! Obrigado por nós deixar como herança seus momentos !! Obrigado cara!!

[@andrewmurphy64]

omg your face when you realized you were in a gonja field hahah ya I'd be scared too

[@derPetunientopf]

Reminds me of the "The Beach"

[@michaelnivi9541]

Great Video and respect to travel in Mexico :) . Greatings from Germany

[@thegrumpygraveller8820]

Damn Iohan, binge watching all your videos, I just love the way you find beauty in everything, the scenery, the people, the animals. I feel like I know you as a friend, looking forward to joining you on the rest of your journey

[@martinforrester8249]

Iohan, thanks for a great story, loved it. Wish I wasn't 77 years old, I would love to have done what you are doing. Adventure travel is a great education. Take good care friend.

[@axlludwig]

Amazing video as always and thank you for using my music. I so envy you as always! ;) Have a safe trip. Axl

[@hansschernthaner8360]

Your sense of humor cracks me up, I love Mexico myself, and I agree, the people are kind and friendly. Your Spanish is very bad ! But, you are learning as you go along. I sure hope you smoked that weed you found along the way. LOL ! :)

[@oiuhwoechwe]

this man has the perfection of patience. i'm not concerned about his next rebirth.

[@dk2428]

Faith in humanity: restored! Beautiful people, beautiful country, what an adventure!

[@alaturballe8581]

Marvellous ! My son does the same in Europe and he's allways glad like ypu ! Thank ypu ! Good job Yohan

[@speedspeed121]

You are back! Great videos. In the 1970's and 1980's an Australian adventurer by the name Alby Mangels would travel around the world by jeep, horse back and boat. He would travel the back roads and capture the same personal and intimate experiences you do.

[@martinguerrero5510]

wow, this guy, he already know more than me about my own state., thanks brother for this video, you're great.

[@bluskydreamr1]

Loved the little bit in the beginning about Idaho...my home. Blessings to you as you live such a beautiful life.

[@attilamelcher7297]

Now i go home, get on bike and take a ride! Maybe a 30 km ride... :D You are a hero, Iohan. This video, just like all the others is wonderful!

[@thilakrajmaroli3875]

24 amazing scenary with a beautiful weather🌍☀⛅☁💧⚡❄from the nice paved road 👌🥰

[@jhonatanalvarez05]

Iohan Gueorguiev was the only one that can make notorious killers on both sides of the law smile and enjoy his company. You will be missed forever 😭 I live through your own experience. I love you brother. Que los vientos de el cielo te cuiden 🙏

[@richardwiediger7298]

You are amazing, an ambassador of goodwill wherever you travels take you. I especially like your interaction with the animals that you encounter, it says a lot about what kind of person that you are!

[@Kungfupanduz]

Amazing camera work & an engaging narrative.. Wish you all the best mate.

03:36 "(...) this person just... ah... my new FRIEND just told me (...)" This was beautiful... And exactly how life should always be.

[@MsSupaflyguy]

You, my friend, are certainly King of the road....or of the trail....or of wherever your imagination takes you next! A pleasure to watch your adventures.

[@HughTexJudd]

[@rick_1968]

Love to see the next one. Keep on cycling!! For now I'll be rerunning the one's you've uploaded.

[@marktroup2283]

Whenever I find you've uploaded a new video, whatever I was doing at the time is instantly forgotten. I'm planning my own big trip for 2018 and these videos are my sustenance in the interim. Ride on in beauty, man.

[@ladytradiej8027]

Godluck!

[@ericerickson6633]

Your travels are wonderful thanks for doing these vlogs! You teach the world to be kind!

[@bikerookieGO]

Amazing choice of routes, you are a brave man indeed! I see you asking locals etc I'll guess like google maps does not help much on these roads, just as point to know where you are. Keep on going, great! :)

[@yilmanbabilonia]

hey. I enjoyed a lot your video. Mexican ppl are extremely nice(most of them) and kind. I've been watching your videos sinceyou started. I can't wait for u to show me the Colombia I never got to see when I lived there. good luck.

[@RobertMagier]

When I started to cycle in Argentina I was breaking 2 spokes per day ;) So I had to learn quickly how to replace them and also always have a lot of those with me. Great video ;)

[@danbolton3180]

Fantastic! You are brave and adventuresome. I need an adventure someday.

[@canal_del_kokito]

My friend, good luck wherever you are. I will pray for you.

[@miguelangelbatistabaquera9594]

EXCELENTES VIDEOS, LASTIMA QUE NO HAYAS PASADO POR LA CD. DE CHIHUAHUA, TE FELICITO, ME GUSTAN TUS VIDEOS LOS VEO DESDE QUE SALISTE DE ALASKA...ESPERO VER TODOS Y CADA UNO DE LOS QUE SUBAS HASTA LLEGAR A ARGENTINA, EN HORA BUENA Iohan Gueorguiev !!!!!!!!!

[@DUMBLIESCOM]

Just found your videos so I may not have seen them all - Great camera work for letting someone see what road and life is like for you on this trip. I would like to know a little more about were you are from, riding experience before this, and what bikes did you use and why? I notice you ran out of money which is an issue I have experienced and it is not fun, now I am old so I estimate how much I need, than double that and then even hide a bit extra in my frame. Thanks for this it is very helpful to show me that I never, ever, for any reason want to ride in snow... Thanks

[@IohanGueorguiev]

haha hey steven, riding in snow is awesome! its so beautiful and quiet. I was born in bulgaria but grew up in canada. Before this trip, I rode about 10k miles across canada and learned to camp, etc. I use a surly troll (but had a full suspension 29er for a short time - it was amazing but too expensive to maintain). this here was more of a "there are no banks anywhere" issue, I never carry too much at a time too since i find I spend better, although I am generally broke and to a large extend its part of what makes this so interesting (knowing you can't just ride to the next town and get a cheap hotel and having to talk to farmers, etc.) cheers

[@yagermeister1]

ever video more amazing than the last!

[@user-zc1ne7ps9w]

Really thanks for showing the world i ve never been to....

[@bladimirputin4099]

welcome to my country mexico. great job bro.

[@chrisbutler6258]

Damn i envy you dude ! I rented a car and drove around the Yucatan peninsula a few years ago, best trip of my life and yes the mexican people are fantastic, wonderful people, just learn a little espanol before you go and your fine.

[@juandelreal9036]

Very awesome

[@Jake24378]

Your videos are great!

[@Alby1147]

I love you man, your inspirational.

[@planeguy5]

Iohan, your videos inspired me to give touring a try. I'm currently 3100 miles into the TransAmerica Trail, and loving every minute. Next year I'll be working in Mexico, and this video is tempting me to bring along my bike! Safe and fun travels to you.

[@IohanGueorguiev]

great to hear Jeremy! the trans am trail looks amazing (is that the one that goes over engineer pass in colorado?), Mexico is an amazing place to ride too, definitely bring the bike but be careful if you are in big cities
