This summer, when I was 16 years old, I decided that I wanted to experience something new, something memorable, so I took my bike and went from Slovenia to Portugal (4500 km). It took me two months and I enjoyed every minute travels. I experienced so many beautiful moments and made many new friends especially because I was on a low budget. Now i have many stories from my trip, that i will remember until i die. I just want to say that my life has changed for the better and it can change yours too.

India specific issues. I understand you 😌

You know, it's nice that you find a way that make you content, but the things you say, is not holding water. I lived a life, more or less without any patterns or repetition, in 9 different countries, visiting many more. Still, now, I'm 50, and i wonder where all the time went. The more you move, the more you experience, the faster time travels. It's when i sit down, just sitting, just breathing, listening, feeling, time almost stops. I really enjoy it, i really feel I'm alive. You say you had fear, and fear took you on a journey. Never let fear guide you, in that case, you end up running away from your self, because the fear is within you, not outside. I met people that lived a life without any great travels, but with a peace within that I'm looking for. Also, the biggest routines, you develop exactly when you are travelling, you just don't notice them. Life is almost at a primal level all the time; find food, shelter. Of course, if life is best in this way, for some people, that is good. But nomadic people have the most strict patterns of all. They repeat the moves all over and over again. The biggest journey, is inside you, for this, you don't have to run away all the time. Peace out :-)

After 17,000+ miles of pedaling and 4,800 miles of hiking in the last few years I understand the mental high that comes with adventure as Jedediah describes. Through my travels I also ultimately felt unfulfilled. I saw that we live in a world of haves and have nots. I realized we have big problems that need our collective attention. I learned that roots; family, friends and community have more value in life than anything else. I highly recommend taking advantage of your privilege to take such trip, but do not recommend making it a lifestyle. Use it to change your perspective of humanity, take that home, and engage with your community like you would as if you were riding into a town hungry, cold and tired. But then be the giver of help, sustenance, relief, and kindness, instead of the receiver.

This video influenced my life so much.

"When you're a kid, everything's new. You don't have to work for it. When you're an adult, it's a choice." No truer words have ever been spoken.

He's right. Also, routine makes your memories blend together because every instance is the same when you look back. Whereas when things are not routine but always different, there's a different memory for each one. This makes it appear in retrospect like you've done more.

I know this kind of speech resonates in a lot of people, but it doesn't do it for me. I like taking my time, having my routine because it liberates some other time slots for me to just sit, listen to my environment, read a book, listen to beautiful music, talk with my friends... My "amazing moments" are in simple things, and I simply love it. A hot shower, drinking tea in my hammock in the morning, laughing with my friends, preparing a meal with my lover... I guess we all experience life in different ways. Let's just take moments to do nothing to evaluate how much we have and what we can do we all the beautiful things around us, be it a friend, a book, a sound, a colour: choose.

Learn how to save money and spend it in a smart way is the key.

If there is something big I want to do in my life it's to give a better life to my parents who have followed a routine their whole lives. For this fellow in the video it's traveling that's a thrill, for you it might be something else. Hating your life for what it is, is the worst thing you can do to yourself. Ask a homeless person what they'd give to not worry about having a roof and food everyday. Enjoy each day as it comes. For me, I love my commute to work, my job is average, I earn peanuts and I hate my boss to the core but I love to take it all out at the gym, love to discuss sports over a drink or just not think anything on a long drive on the weekend with my girl.

Well said! As a fellow bike tourer (ist), I can relate to the hyper-alertness, from constantly moving through unfamiliar areas; although after a tour, I appreciate returning to familiar comforts and patterns, such as sleeping indoors, regular showers and use of a kitchen and shower.

absolutely amazing, gave me goosebumps! put into words the exact thoughts i had when i went travelling for a couple of months earlier this year. Its so easy to forget this mindset and go back into the work routine and before i know it the year is half gone. inspried me to get saving, get on my bike, and go on an adventure like this.

Being away from friends and family is tough. This might seem fun initially but after a month alone having comfort and your relationship with others back will feel great. There's some truth to the expression "there's no place like home". What my wife and kids bring to my life I could never give up.

This is why I love cycling so much.

The interesting thing in being a cyclist is that the fact of riding everyday won't be never ever understanded as a routine- you get bored riding one destination- you set off to another one, you're bored of riding on the road- you ride mtb, Winter comes in and its snowy- no worries- just go on a fat bike or ride the trainer. Its just one of those hobbies that never lets you get bored of- you just find new routes. And if you like traveling but don't want to spend money on petrol- pack up,hop on a bike and just go! I am always proud when I think of all the miles that I have done on the bike and haven't got to spend a penny on petrol.Well yes I went through a few bikes, but every mechanicaly sound bike should do the job. I went through a few bikes simply because I do road races and had quite a few tumbles and accidents that had taken a toll on the bikes.But other than that, just for travelling you needn't have more than one bike for everything.

did a 6 month ride from Missouri up to North Dakota west to Oregon, south along the west coast to Southern Californian, then back east to Missouri, turned out to be an amazing/priceless experience, If someone told me I could have a million dollars if I hadn't done that ride, I could easily say no thanks.

Excellent observation! Also remember a long bike tour will not immunize you from a time eating routine, but it will give you a point of reference to keep it in check. I quit my good job at age 42 and rode 5,100 miles across the US. 13 years later I'm in that kind of routine. Getting older and losing energy has a lot to do with it as well. I've worked since that long tour with the goal of retiring early so I can get back on the road. Just 2 years away.

I am 18. For the past 5 years I believed that life was about grinding your ass off to one day become the best at what you do (mixed martial arts in my case). Now for some unknown fucking reason I am starting to have such a drastic change of mindset. I had not miss a week of training for 3 years. Now i am on my second week off and it has allowed me to do such great things. From doing carpentry with a friend, to going out for coffe with my father, to planning a trip to the south of Argentina (my lovely country which I know so little of). It has hit me hard indeed and it is weird how one can think he knows for sure what he will do with his life and suddenly acquire a different perspective. All I know is I dont feel any of the pressure I felt before which I assumed was an inherent part of life. Today I just try to do whatever I feel like doing at the moment which is totally the opposite of the "disciplined" regime I lived by. The most surprising part is that people have not questioned me for this, which was my biggest fear. You have no obligation to continue being the person you were a day, a month, or 3 years ago. Maybe someone will find this helpful. Thank you so much for this content!

That cheeky smile at the end says it all! I have been working and travelling abroad for almost 4 years now and even today after walking 10km around Dharamsala mountains I have that little smirk, I think all travellers do. We have figured out that life doesn't have to be so formulaic. That true happiness is living every moment, being shocked, scared, angry, happy because those moments are when we are truly living and there is no better way of feeling this than with travelling. thank you for the beautiful words and videography. Keep on smiling my friend...

So much truth here and so inspiring! A big trip like this may not be possible for everyone, but we can all take even little steps to thrive and keep that sense of wonder. Love it

I do love that aspect of travel, and yes routine does kill your brain, but that's something you have to watch for no matter what you do. Watching my daughter as a baby marvelling at the laminar flow of water being poured out of a jug, and how much joy she got out of such a simple experience, that times 10k is a life with children.

This summer I'm doing a 16-day tour in Norway cycling the fjords. Wish me good weather! Best wishes!

Great! Inspiring video - not because it's edited with grand cinematography and motivational music, but simply because it has a wise message that speaks truth. God Bless

This guy just said something amazing...solved a question I had..thanks

I'm crying right now , this was so beautiful

Just finished a bike trip through Japan and I'm already itching to get back out on the road again! Booked my flight to Canada in July and I'm hoping to cycle all the way down to Argentina! Can't wait!

Such an amazing story/style of life. I don’t want to say that I’m jealous of you (though I am), but I wish in some point of my life, I can be so brave as you. Thanks for sharing this experience with us.

I love your perspective...how I feel when I ride my motorcycle

The best inspirational video on Travelling I have ever seen.

I'm in the beginning stages of my trek across america, also guided by fear of the unknown. there's just something deep down inside me that insists on me taking this trip for spiritual growth. this video was encouraging. knowing im not the only one with this feeling. I plan on going next summer but I'm planning now. much love.

This makes me so happy everytime I see it!

@Jedidiah...Damn you man... you've just inspired me a lot more. I keep going to these kind of rides but for short spans. I hate the kind of job,the routine takes the sunset and the noon away from me. I keep saying people when you enjoy your work,you get your peace of mind . work there and keep exploring. Keep living until you're alive, don't survive..... live.

Never in life something has made so much sense to me. Its been 4 years and I still keep going back to this video!

congratulation for real

So much of this resonates with us. We just finished a 5 month bike trip through South America and it was such an incredible experience and can’t wait for the next one!,

loved this sooo much!! I am 19 but I can relate to this. I too want to be aware of every single day!!!😊

Beautiful !!! Thank you for this.

Literally tears in my eyes.. We are missing all this..

Inspiring, best of luck to everyone out there on your biking adventures! 🚴

This is a luxury, VERY few people on earth can just leave and do something like that without forgoing responsability. Amazing yes, I am a endurance cyclist too and understand that having the time to do that is also a luxury. Somone had to build your bike, make your hat, pave those roads, we cant all just stop what we are doing and run around.

No. This is just an excuse to justify one's (your) choices. If adventure, self-discovery, and hardship is not your thing, I don't blame you, but assigning that to others, i think, is a mistake. Luxury, privilege, and the guilt associated therewith is a homemade fiction. Grateful? Of Course. Guilty? No.

news update: he's in a cubicle doing office work

I am sure Jedidiah's parents worked hard, gave him a nice stable childhood and good education, paid for him to through college so he had the best start and opportunities in life. Many are not so lucky. He sounds educated and eloquent. He is still young and idealistic and maybe has the support networks and money to be able to live this lifestyle. Not an expensive lifestyle, but you still need money and to work every now and again. Everyone is different. It would be nice if we were all able to travel the world not staying in one place for too long, not becoming too involved in a community, seeing only the things we wanted see, travel and spend time with those we wanted. But some one has to stay at home do the things and run the things we take for granted. For some people this is just fine. They are scientists, medics, engineers, shop workers, builders, inventors, salesmen and women, IT people, police officers, nurses, gardeners, lawyers ........... you get the picture. We are all different. You need to do what is right for you, something that motivates and brings you peace and contentment. Maybe Jedidiah has yet to find his vocation. Don't be frightened of growing old. What ever you do you will get older. Whilst travel is immensely liberating other things in life are just as if not more rewarding. We are all different. What ever rocks your boat, seize the moment.

I don't think you and he are saying anything different. Biking can become as "routine" as anything else. So can travel for that matter. It's about seeking that sense of new and adventure wherever you are and in whatever ways are available to you. As for the life his parents laid out for him. I agree. But what a disservice it would be for him not to use what they laid out for him as a launching pad to some "bigger" things. That's what I would want for my kids.

Very true, and don't let age or ill-health stand in your way. There are people out there doing this exact same thing in their 70's and 80's. Having the choice to stay or go, is a great feeling in itself.

This is so true, when I worked in an office months would pass by without me even noticing. I have been travelling for the past 4 months now and I am so much more aware of time spent and enjoyed, not looking forward to the weekend, looking forward to everyday.

and 4 months of travel feels like a year or more! I have been doing so many things.

100% true. You choose the exact right words to explain why you did it or why you would do it again.

Good luck for your adventure, and maybe you’ll also discover the adventure hidden in routine one day. All the best to you

I love you man, I'm crying inside now because I can't do what you have done.... but i always wanted to.

So make planing bro).

Wow, thank you! It kind of happened to me: I missed/wasted my thirties kind of. And now, I am sooooo motivated to make the next 10 to 15 years count!!!

Bikes and traveling?! Two of some of the best best feelings! Inspirational video, great job!

While I sort of agree with the concept of learning new things in order to keep the brain working, this does not have to be by travel. This can be with almost anything. New job, new project, new hobby, new relationship, new offspring.

This video encouraged me to quit my job and I did so, then I remained jobless for one year. I faced multiple financial problems then. Now I have a job and again this video is in my suggestion page. Now I don't want to be encouraged again. If there is money then there is honey . Without money you can't get peace.

That’s just the best video on KZread right now.

I have watched this so many times!! Great message! Words to live by!!!!

Who else got reminded of the Motor Cycle diaries of Che Guavera?

Wow this could be the lesson I was searching for since 6 years!
