Generousity on the road | Bikepacking Balkan | EP9

Hi, I'm Armon. Nice to meet you!
In 2022 I decided to give up my normal life due to severe depression and backpain and start travelling by unicycle and bicycle to find a new lifestyle and recover my mental and physical health to whatever degree is possible.
Follow my journey as we discover various different countries, cultures and nature and fight with the elements in quest of finding the lost spoke in the wheel of life.
In this episode I'm cycling all through Montenegro and Albania all the way to Macedonia. On less sleep than desirable.

    I'd love to get some feedback from you: What do you like in my videos? What don't you like? What would you like to see more, or less for that matter? Let me know in the comments! This will be my last long form video for a few weeks, as I set myself a challenge that I wanted to complete for a long time. For this challenge, switching to shorts and daily updates is more appropriate.

    Hi! I personally really like the interactions and hearing the conversations you have with the random people you meet on the road. It makes us feel like we're there with you, and is an inspiration to viewers to get out there and enjoy life. I would love to see you explaining more about your kit and camping equipment - how and why your setup works/doesn't work. Thanks for your videos!

    Get yourself a real pillow. It takes up alot of space sure, but the comfort is worth it. I slept 7-8 hours every night for 5 nights while bikepacking. I also completely got rid of my lower back pain by sleeping on the floor at home. Only a wool blanket for comfort. Maybe try a firmer sleeping pad? Nemo Switchback is very firm and good for getting rid of back pain. Also try using a sleep mask since it gets bright outsde very early during the spring which ruins your sleep. If you often snore it could be due to mouth breathing which prevents you from entering deep sleep. Try using sleep tape! I wish you luck from Sweden!

    I usually have an amazing sleep with this setup. Don't know what happened during these two weeks, but i couldn't shut off my brain. Normally i'm a nightowl and sleep way better in daylight than in the dark. But if it continues like that i'm certainly gonna give your tips a try. Thanks for the suggestions!

    What a wonderful video. Just by chance, came upon your video while searching KZread this afternoon in Middletown, New York. What an adventure with the beautifully filmed details of Albania. Very envious of your abilities and drive to get out there and pursue foreign travel destinations on two wheels. That you completed this leg of your trip with limited sleep, back pain and mechanical issues is truly commendable. Loved the help afforded you by the German couple and enjoyed your interaction with the Swiss travelers. One life, live it! Yes, good and generous travelers are out there. All the best in your travels. I look forward to your future postings.

    Even with all these problems, it's still so much easier than travelling with a unicycle 😅 I can't really complain. Thank you very much for the kind words! Much love ❤️
