Iohan might seem like a mellow guy, but he is the ballsiest dude out there. There are so many points along the ride where he should have turned around but he didn't. Bear 10m ahead of you? "Ok" Breathing heavy doses sulfur? "Ok". Someone tells you there is a risk of meeting a criminal gang? "Ok" Freezing to death? "Ok" Iohan is the Chuck Norris of bikepacking. What a guy. Zero shits given. Love you Iohan. Thanks for your videos.

ExACTly...! I was telling my old man (75, I'm in my 50's) about him, Dad already knew about him! (and Dad is no fan of a computer, mind you). Dad said "Oh yea, I've watched all of his videos, that's a REAL man there"....and my Dad id more real man than most I have met in my life. Pretty major compliments to Iohan. Love Iohan!!

Was just in central america 3 months last winter and Nicaragua was by far my favorite! this is exciting to see more of the backroads.

[@earthishome1866]

AWW THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT

[@Onaquest1618]

I finally did my first packrafting day, once I was on the water it was fantastic, I won't be going around the world like you. But I 100 respect even more how much work it is to bike, climb mountains pushing a bike and rafting. That's for being an inspiration. May the Cosmos bring you great wealth, health and peace. Happy Holidays.

[@IohanGueorguiev]

Thanks, I really missed my packraft this summer

[@KosmiekAltertainment]

Heej Iohan, you are a beautiful person. Your videos are beautifully shot and edited, you show us wonderful places and an amazing beautiful spirit and open mind. In a way i hope it will take you forever to reach Argentina because i cant stop watching. You are one of my great examples for cycling where other people wouldnt dare, and when they declare me crazy for the tiny little rides i do in the european flatlands, i tell them about you. Keep riding Bro. And please keep filming! OneLove!

two dislikes - how can anyone dislike these episodes. Such cultural variety and incredible scenery in Iohan's amazing adventure!

[@juancarlostelleztellez5731]

because many people on the world don t like the other people, cultures, races, landscapes , biological and geographical diversity and the great, great magnificence of the mother earth , many people think than their sofa , house, little county and close countryside and own cultural, religious or political and historical tradition and experience of life are the only true and important things , that is the human ignorance and of course is , all, stupidity and ethnocentrism , the curse of the mankind and one of the causes of many, many conflicts and cruel wars and bloodiest confrontations and disagreement ......

I'd love to know how you patched the hole in your tube near the valve as those can be tricky. I love the videos. Many blessings.

we used one of the old tube over it and glue. it was a bad spot near the valve but it lasted few weeks until costa rica

[@chrisdenison2277]

I'm honored to get a reply from "the legend". :) Thanks a lot. My kids enjoy seeing you interact with the cows and saying to them, "hello beauty" and also calling them "dangerous creatures". We've laughed at that. I know I could never do what you do, but love to be taken on your journey. So thanks so much! Also, I've never seen a cyclist walk their bike so much. Gotta do what you gotta do.

[@otisjfarnsworth]

Iohan - I can't stop watching your videos! I am impressed how quickly you learned Spanish. Have you been to Chile? I have been telling people about your videos, and I describe you as endearingly naive, relentlessly optimistic, kind and gentle, yet tough as nails, and a little crazy! pushing your bike up all those hills! Horses and dogs can sense that you are a gentle soul. I wish you well, and safe travels! Question - you have some time-lapse shots that also pan the camera - how do you do that? Great videos - can't wait to watch them all! If you are ever in Western Massachusetts, look me up!

[@IohanGueorguiev]

i was in chile for few days near san pedro de atacama but will be back in chile later. The pans are with video editor (where you can zoom into the footage or timelapse and pan or zoom. During episode 1 i have one shot where the camera actually pans.... thats with an egg timer and the only time i used it

@SC EM I'm sad to say they're doing that right now. They're instigating vandalism, killings, riots. The USA is playing it like it is our government doing it, and a lot of people are buying it. They want to turn it into Venezuela 2.0. We won't let them though, we'll keep fighting and by God's will we'll prevail. Most people are with us and know the involvement of the USA, though it won't look like that on CNN, FOX, etc..

Seriously...I'm extremely allergic to it. You need a dog in every country. Also, have you considered tubeless tyres? I am thinking of trying them out.

[@IohanGueorguiev]

oh yeah, it was scary! it was burning when i was breathing in the clouds. I wasnt sure if i should go up or not. I would go tubeless if i could but its not worth it getting new wheels for it.

Awesome ! down to earth video.

[@BlueBagger83]

I'm curious to know if you'd think a fat tire bike would be a good option for a trip like this (the Central American part anyways)? I am looking at leaving from just south of Mexico City and cutting down a similar pathway to Panama. Did you have most of those tire issues just from debris, or did some of it come from it just wearing out too fast?

[@IohanGueorguiev]

if its just for central america, south of mexico city - you are better off with 27.5+ or 29+. You can still find a lot of stuff to ride off the main roads but you will be on tarmac for a decent chunk of the way. I switched to a fatbike in colombia and it is definitely nice for south america. Tires, well - cheap tubes in this particular video. Just get a good tire and run tubeless if you can.

Hi lohan, As a videographer myself I wanna know, how did you manage your time to edit all the footage?

[@deepthoughtcyclebikecommut1418]

totally. And how did your store it on your rides? I find my virb gets corrupted errors a lot when near full. I have making a video when I think its recording, and in the end its just me talking to myself : )

[@IohanGueorguiev]

i can do an espisode of two while treeplanting, then if i stop somewhere for 4-5 days and have access to a computer, another. it gets easier after a while and i dont spent too much time editing

[@deepthoughtcyclebikecommut1418]

wow. It takes like 4 hours to get a video up for me without editing : - (. How about your super awesome website ? You should totally have comments on every section. I dont know whats up your site and videos are totally under appreciated. Keep on doing what you are doing lohan. Your awesome. I just did a blog on you tonight before traffic hell. Trying to process it now. You should do some video tree planting. Now you got to tell me... are you solely living off of tree planting cash or are you a rich person who has a ton of money from their family or something? I dont mean it offensively .

[@IohanGueorguiev]

i did the website with squarespace, it's easy but sometimes frustrating. As for treeplanting cash, I always play catch up - last year I paid off the two credit cards I had (and never using them again, ever) and got a packraft, now in south america with no return ticket - and i think i can make it on the little money i get through donations.

[@deepthoughtcyclebikecommut1418]

hey man hang in there and keep uploading. You are doing an awesome job. Where you at now? Its real tough for me to get money to the internet to donate... but I put out the word already people should donate... I am uploading now... still.... : ) Whats packraft?
