Davon werdet Ihr noch in 50 Jahren erzählen, Ihr tragt soviel Eindrücke im Herzen und Erinnerungen werden Euch immer ein Lächeln ins Gesicht zaubern. Alles richtig gemacht! Tolle Reise, fantastische Eindrücke die Ihr mit den Zuschauern und Followern teilt. Und alles kommt total entspannt und ruhig rüber, wie Ihr auch die Natur respektiert und ehrfürchtig die Weite betrachtet - einfach nur toll. Herzliche Grüße an Euch. Danke das Ihr uns mitnehmt, wenn auch nur Stückchenweise.... 😉 - Frank

It inspired me to want to ride in Turkey's remote mountainous regions sometime soon. Your bike-and-bags setup is well chosen too. I subscribed to your channel, so I'll definitely be following more of your adventures in the future.

    Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful ride! Beautiful! Epic! I just landed yesterday after a a tour through Central America and Colombia, now I think my next destination will be Turkey 🇹🇷 it seems the algorithm knows me well (Yuval Harare says so in his book Homo Deus, which I read while on tour) and this video was recommended to me. I have a request for you: Could you make a video about your bikes and set up? In my recent tour I had a typical touring set up with panniers but my type tour is off road and like gravel and the panniers didn’t perform well for me, before watching your video I already had an idea of what I want but it would be nice if you can share yours with us. Thank you!

    Danke dir =) Die Seitentaschen sind bei Regen immer voll gelaufen, das war sehr unpraktisch. Weiterhin haben wir gemerkt dass wir nicht soviel Platz brauchen und Gewicht sparen können. Bei den Hüftpacks ziehen wir die Regenjacke einfach drüber wenn's regnet.. außerdem sind die super griffbereit, mit einer Drehung hat man sein Geldbeutel, Pass, Kamera, Snacks usw sofort am Bauch parat und auch sonst beim Einkaufen immer am Körper. Nicht alle Hüfttaschen sind bequem, wir haben extra geschaut, dass die einen breiten Gurt haben und nicht so schwitzig auf der Haut sind...finden die bis jetzt super.
