Like the old saying goes, "the hardest part of a journey is the 1st step." I'm always procrastinating about the weather, things to do, where to go, how long etc.

Greetings from Poland. This summer I'm going to Bulgaria for a month to Sveti Vlas :) I'm 41, I got my driving license a year ago thanks to your videos :) It would be nice to meet for coffee or beer and talk. Have a wide road and safe trips.

Hi Pavlin ! Very useful video ! As usual, should I say ! Your channel is one of the most interesting and documented on Youtube. It is very useful to know about your average budget for each trip, the lending or renting for motorbikes - especially in AUS and NZ. I plan a Europe tour this year, and your budget is very helpful. I hope you will have wonderful trips in East Africa and South America this year.

Fantastic news about South America I am planing a trip in 5 years so it will be more likely for me if you're happy with you're trip I am from the far north of Scotland . did a good bit off south Africa 30 years ago now the kids are up time to do some more /work/fun with the time I have left haha .you are a star ⭐

A backup plan is very important if you have health problems. On our trip from Portugal to Greece/Turkey/Bulgaria last year we arrived in the Pyrenees and I felt unwell, so I decided to head for Barcelona and if I felt okay I would turn left, if not turn right and head back home. I didn't feel great but thought "better to regret something you did, than something you didn't do"..

The trip was fantastic and I met up with my friend I haven't seen for 20 years who was on a Med Cruise and had some laughs. We are busy planning another European trip to eastern Europe, but first a trip on my Enfield to southern Thailand which got held up.

Thanks for the info.

Happy New Year, Pavlin! Wish you a great year ahead. 🙏

Great video as always. I have two bikes, VanVan 125 and Vstrom 1050xt. Planing a trip, (couple 100 kms) mainly on dirt roads. The Vstrom is too heavy but my concern about the VanVan is that if something happens to it's tyres I would be in trouble getting new ones. So I'm not so sure which one to take 😅.

Hey, you should tried the Panamericana route, Is a most for every biker, Is like 25, 000 km fron Alaska to Argentina the longest un the word.

Really enjoy your videos. I watch with my Wife (she is pillion rider). I use your advice. We notice your lovely wood burner. how hot does it get by the thermometre behind you. Is it multifuel. Who is the partrait behind you. Did you make the suspension light and the one on the shelf. Is there any money in the piggy bank (on the shelf). Does the old TV work. Thank you. I watched twice (one for being nosey and one for listening)

[javierlsosal]

Hope, you visit paraguay south america. And all good advise.

A good plan gives you the ability to roll with the punches when life happens on the road. The trick is to make a plan that is loose enough for that puncture, that detour, that buddy along the way.

In regards to bikes in far away places, one can always buy a decent bike and then resell it when the journey is done. This is also adventurous.

Very informative tips as always and I'm happy to hear you will visit our continent kenya and tanzania wich is nearest to south africa.
