Portugal - WIND, WIND and even more WIND! 

Another brilliant thoughtful video! Lovely to hear you swear in both English and German 🤣🤣

That swearing tirade was the best thing I saw on the internet today lol!

Thanks for sharing the good and not so good sides of bike touring.Particularly liked the flat fixing 😂.

I am so sorry, I am laughing my head off at your frustration, I get so down on myself when it seems like one thing after another and I’ll lose it. Thank you so much for showing the human side. I love your videos.

I enjoy your carefree style and approach to life.

Looking for your videos, and i liked them all. I m from Ukraine and your videos are relaxing and living. Also i make my English better. Thanks.

YES! When my cousin and I ride with lots of Wind! We always say Windy was on the Ride Today 😕🤔😲

oi chika, you have birdnest on head and white socks in slippers , du verrückter Ápfelstrudel. Thanks for the laughs . Good memories about the ferries, they make a welkom break from cycling.

Love your spirit. There is typically a steady strong north-south wind along this route, if your cyclist friends want to try it; start @ the top and head south.. That wind on your back is a lot more friendly..

I have seen a lot of videos of people touring across countries but rarely they taste the local food, that should be also part if the experience. I know it can be really expensive but at least one meal of the best of what the region can offer. Thank you for your cool video in Portugal, hope you come again when the wind calms down.

Thank you for being honest to your video. As you moving forward, you learn every now and then. Stay strong Cheerio 😊 take care

I was thinking I am the only one who cuss like a mad woman. You are going to hard, and you need to give yourself a break. You are a strong woman, keep kicking ass. I am just an old Grandma in the States, move on little lady.

Specially loved this one because you went through my hometown! Save travelling 😊

Mostly I wait till the headwind is gone ... Love your honest videos 🤩

Thank you for sharing your low days as well ad your high days. Mechanical frustrations added to males being stupid lead to one hilarious vlog.

I "m always watching you ,♥️

I usually skip through intros, I like your intro a lot its catchy and gives nice feels, and I like how you show the not so pleasant side of bicycle touring, I relate a lot to the losing/ forgetting stuff, and fighting with my bike , i thought i was the only one

I love the puncture scene😅

You are crazy adventurous brave and smart. Oh and you love riding bikes 😊 I just had to subscribe. Bless up and keep enjoying your life. It’s very inspirational

As a portuguese cyclist who knows just about every sign that you have filmed, let me give you some advice on your route. From Porto continue north but inland passing Guimarães and Braga where there are some beautiful bike paths since the coastal road is dangerous and uninteresting. Once you hit the Rio Minho river go west along the river because there many very beautiful villages. Once you hit the sea at Caminha, catch the ferry to Spain and do the entire Galicia coast but always along the coast, contouring every inlet and ria. Do not be tempted to go straight as you will miss beautiful beaches and villages and wonderful views of sea and mountains. The further north you go the prettier it gets. And then keep hugging the coast all the way to France. There are lots of steep short hills that you might need to push but totally worth it. And don't forget to eat out a lot, very good and cheap food. If you can afford the campsites they are quite cheap and comfortable and you will meet other cyclist.

I feel for you. I really do. Did 30km against a strong head wind last week and that was quite enough. Under the circumstances the expletives were very understandable and hope you can laugh about it now

Sehr nices Video mit authentsichen Einblicken in die highs und lows deines bikepacking Alltags, ist mal wieder richtig gut geworden! :) Kaum zu glauben, dass du jetzt schon seit 9 monaten unterwegs bist! :o

Just an additional comment. You had me in tears laughing with your swearing flat tire rant! You are not alone. But you did sound like Lupo the Butcher. Look it up. 😂😂

Your physical strength and perseverence amaze me! A 22 mile trip on my ebike is a big deal for me (here in Colorado). Ha! I have a vlog too, which I enjoy creating, even though it is a big time sink! So I, also, very much appreciate your video editing! I am a professional artist and the video editing has become another art form, so I understand about you wanting to uphold these two ventures at the same time. I add some small bike rides to my videos because I am hoping to get more people out of their cars and onto a bike to clean up the air around here! I am doing all of my errands on my new ecargo bike this month. Not too shabby for a 67 yr old! You go, Cheerio!!

Your energy is incredible. Good luck with 🚴

Olá! Never do the west coast south to north! 😊 Sorry about the rude men you found, I felt ashamed 😢 You must repeat Portugal. Wish you nice and safe rides.

That's called NORTADA :D and it's saying "wellcome to Portugal" :D

Great video young lady! I did have to laugh some! 😂 You’re doing great and I admire you! What you are doing is tough! Keep it up! 🚴🏻‍♀️👍💪

oh yes!!! Portugal is pretty windy up north! EV1... lol... I did almost the same route 3 years ago... from Faro to Santiago de Compostela

U are actually pretty damn good at this😁👍🔥 just remeber too wear your helmet😎

When I shout at my tires like this I mostly tend to make another hole in the tube… and then I do get even more mad. And then somebody recommended me the pathfinder pro from specialized and it is a very good tire… maybe a tip for you. Who knows…

Ihre Verwendung englischer Obszönitäten ist erstaunlich und inspirierend

12.00....... every bycicle tourist had it.. me toooooo.... swearing and all the shit!! Wake up whit beautiful sunrise makes up for this...

Vous êtes vraiment une délicieuse princesse

yeah

Tough ride. You are one of my heroes. Flats are no fun. One year I had 37 which works out to 1 flat every 10 days. I now have a speedier way to remove and install tires to fix flats. There are several videos about this tool on RU-vid. It is the Crank Brothers Speedier tire lever. While it is possible to fix a flat with one tire lever, I like to use 2 levers. The removal can be done with 1 lever pretty simply but 2 levers makes installing easier. I know some rim/tire combinations are very tough to remove the tire but I have used this tool with many different tires now. And because of my history with flats I have changed tire brands and I usually use some very thick tires and tubes just because I hate flats.

Great way to live! The end was very cool. Keep going!!!

Ich bin gestern durch Zufall über deinen Kanal "gestolpert" und hab mittlerweile schon alle deine Videos angesehen. Deine Videos sind so unglaublich inspirierend und du hast so eine unglaublich positive Ausstrahlung. Ich hoffe da kommen noch ganz viele Videos 🙂

Greetings from the US. I’ve never heard such excellent bilingual cussing;) Bravo! You rock!

Ride safe always - cheerio 🚴‍♀️❣💞

Awesome. Fingers crossed for your trip and big adventures!

11:40 🤣🤣🤣🤣 best episode ever. Go tubeless

Bad days are for everybody so dont worry, keep cycling and smiling

Great video..... Stay strong.... Amazing 😎👍

From a fellow bikepacker - Great riding. Please don't get mad about the guys telling you stuff or the flat tire or other; just go with the flow as you said, and try to enjoy the moment. The great thing is not just getting there, to your destination ... it's the journey to get there soi enjoy as much as you can. Always be safe and good riding.

Super nice vids! You freaking about the stupid guys at the café. Let them f**k off. Go girl!

It’s not easy living as a bikepacker, but you’ve got a great attitude even when things get rough! Keep your head up and keep the pedals turning! As always Ride Safe & Ride Hard.

Really liked the content. Allama Iqbal said Don’t fear the intensity of opposing-wind*, O’ Eagle It only blows to help you fly even higher." So dont listen to these comments. Do what you are doing.

12:30-😅I can totally relate!

Me encantan todas las maldiciones 🎉 que dices cambiando un neumático. Lo pondré en práctica en mi futura salida. Espero no necesitarlo😅

oh, that bad words to the poor tire, we all have rough mood sometimes I guess.

Thanks for the F***s,🤣🤣 I had the best one-hour laugh! Keep biking😁😁👍👍

In July I am going on my first trip,from Poland to southern Europe for a few months. I am glad that I found your IG and YT. Your photos and videos are very motivating to do such things :) Bom dia :)

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Bonne change , bonne route !!! Good Luck and have good way !!!

Hi, das war der ehrlichste Reifenwechsel, den ich auf YT je gesehen habe. Lass es raus ! Zu schnell durch eine Gegend zu radeln, ganz normal. Da muss man gezielt dagegen halten. Weiter eine gute Fahrt!

hi🌷 Great job girlfriend!, honesty works, really enjoy your journeys! 🥳Cheeyl

Lololololololololololololo! It’s only funny because I cuss the same way when shit goes bad!!

That's pretty normal For me to change a tire like that. 😆😍. I know exactly what you mean. Pay attention how you treat yourself. 👍. Stay safe.... Wish you best of luck keep living your dream. Watching and following

That tire really got on your nerves xD

Me encanta tu carácter.

It’s great too see you swearing, it makes you human. 😂

Stay strong Cheerio 💪🏼 Remember to always follow your gut instincts and to listen to the messages the Universe sends us. ✌🏼❤ I think it's amazing what you are doing and i would like to do the same one day! Ps did you teach yourself how to edit?

Mais um vídeo inspirador 💐🌈❤

كم يعجبني لما تضبحي وتخرجي الطاقة السلبية اضحك لما اقول بس.

Are you riding a Giant Revolt? Loving being along for your trip lol. The whiny voice edit, hilarious!!

Hello RU-vid, see how hard this lady is working...... showing us her travels and beautiful pictures. Help her to have more subscribers and views by promoting her channel and videos more. Thanks! Eusa/From Brazil

You sound like me when I'm working on things. Better to get it out with words rather than throwing or breaking things. Lol

Jajaja cuantas palabrotas en un minuto por un flat tired, be patient jajaja Ánimo 💪

you are so funny ,keep swearing keep smiling :)

You speak a lot about your mistakes/stupidities, I appreciate that. Some vlogs don't talk much of the downsides. I imagine myself making more stupid mistakes than you and I am 45 now and just rediscovered the bike 2 years ago and never bike packed. When life gives you a hard day remember for all the pain you are getting other good memories.... there are so many people who would like to experience what bike packers do but for a multitude of circumstances cannot. Have fun and ride on! BTW You are right to complain about those of us with a shorter chromosome, some don't have basic instinct control. It undermines all the superiority claimed.

❤️

Seems like anger issues, don’t worry many ppl have them, me included. 🤫😁

It is better do the way from north to south because of winds.

I've not seen much of what you eat, but have heard you complain of being tired after what seems like a short distance, so I have to ask if you focus on 'slow carbs' for cycling energy? Oats work very well for me. Also: I see you changing tubes & mentioning multiple flats, & already saw another video where you wanted to convert to tubeless but seemed unable to without saying why. It sounded like you got distracted by other issues without actually closing the tubeless idea. So I have to ask whether you went tubeless and, if not, whether you are using tire liners to protect your tubes from foreign objects through the tread? Tire liners work well for me. Also: I recognized English curse words, & perhaps some German. Do you know any other language curse words? Hahahahaha. Your honestly is so refreshing.

I feel your pain but your cursing is very amusing!😂

Don't worry if you have loads of head wind. You can be sure, after days and days of head wind there surely will be .... .... days of head wind. 🤣🤣 Trust me, as an experienced cyclist, this rule always applies.

I want to know about solar pannel you are using. can you give us a review of it? You said you edit videos on the go. are you carrying your laptop with you. How you manage to charge it on the go?

You seem to have alot of punctures. Have you tried Marathon plus tour tires?

You could be a filmmaker…..what bike are you riding?

. . . perhaps the time has come for you starting doing things for others and find real purpose in it. 🤗

Hii love your videos. I think RU-vid de monetise videos if it contains any f words, so maybe edit put the f words to get the max earnings. Have fun

;D Als du den Reifen neu aufgezogen hast und in die deutsche Sprache "zurückgefallen" bist, musste ich herzhaft lachen. Aber echt RESPEKT für deine Reisen und den Mut dazu. Wo verarbeitest du eigentlich immer die ganzen Videos?!

Hello please move to Stockholm .i want to meet you in person.ireallt like you

Don't tease us, this is next week!

Nice German part 😅

Stop eating so many brussel sprouts! Then you wouldn't get so much wind! Although, saying that, it could act as jet propulsion?!?😂😅😊

Ok … cough it up … where did you learn your English … you know all the English slang … you swear in English like an American and not an Englander …my oncologist in Atlanta is German and your American English is better than hers … lol … your Tourette’s crack me up .. keep on rocking those pedals .. oh … maybe for the Italians add ciao to your goodbye … muita obrigada … Tomas

You’re such a winer, stop complaining….Cycle touring is 70% hard work and 30% bliss, find the bliss. BTW, it is not about Kilometres cover, it’s about the experience and serendipity you find.

Jesus is the way. Hope you find the truth!

You do know that this video is also seen by kids? You need to think about the language you use. This is not ok.

Great video! Keep up the good work! Hello from Slovenia.💪👌👍
