Hey guys, just wanted to say thanks so much for all the support over the past couple months. "3 days crossing the Congo jungle (without a map)" just hit 1 million views!
I actually can't believe it. When I started the channel my goal was to get 10k views per video, I never thought one of them would reach 1 million views.
I'm glad the content is interesting to you. I travel to the places that I want to go to and they may not always be interesting to everyone but the Congo episodes definitely resonated with a larger audience than normal.
I'm dreaming to go back there one day and venture even further into the jungle for an even longer period but that probably won't be for a while.
The Sahara desert episode with Laura was a one off special episode I filmed after spending a couple months riding around with Laura in Portugal, Spain and Morocco.
She's really appreciated all the positive support and encouragement she got from the video, so thanks for that.
Season 2 of my series will be starting very very soon and I'll be riding solo again.
Anyway thanks again and you'll be hearing from me soon!
I spent 7 days on a Cargo Boat down the Congo River. I met up with another cyclist and after more than 2 and a half weeks of waiting, we finally found a boat that would take us.
In my latest YouTube video that I just published, I show you what life is like on these kind of boats, how we get food, interviews with passengers and even a couple of fist fights.
Hey guys I just want to say a huge thank you for all the support over the past month or so. I just hit 10,000 subscribers and my first video over 100k views. I'm really happy to see that you guys have been enjoying my videos.
There is so much more exciting content to come through the Congo jungle, down the Congo River and into the Democratic Republic of Congo where I'll go even deeper into the jungle.

Hey guys, sorry for being silent. I'm back on the road now and hoping to have a video out next week.
Cheers

We've made it out of the deep Congo jungle and trying to make our way towards the Angolan Border.
The road conditions here are horrible even though we are on a "National Highway".
It never gets any easier here in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

I think there is a Lion walking next to the water as I'm talking about how I hope there are no lions.
It happens at 7:53 on this video:

Curious to see what you think!

I think I just spotted a lion in one of my videos!
Do you guys think that is a lion at 7:53 of this video.
I just rewatched it and saw there is what looks like a lion walking next to the water to the right of the screen just below the water line.
What do you think?
