Thank you!!

Thanks a lot for your comment! That sounds wonderfull! Glad that you feel that way while watching these videos and the infrastructure is indeed really good 😊

@@ElizabethHoefkens yes, you are a very good presenter, very natural. I will cycle back to Berlin with you 😃🚴‍♂️👍

@@tonypaddler thank you for saying that!! 😊

Hoi! Leuk dat je reageert en toevallig dat je ook naar Berlijn hebt gefietst deze zomer! Dan zul je vast de landschappen en typische dorpjes wel herkennen 😊 En de regen en wind herken ik dan weer... Maar ik ben het met je eens het was voor mij ook als nog de moeite waard! Dank je wel voor je reactie!

Thanks for sharing! Hope you enjoy my videos as part of your preparation 😊

Jaa helemaal mee eens, het is zeker een bijzondere manier!

Ahh thank you for your comment! ☺

Thanks a lot for your reaction! It means a lot reading that you enjoyed watching my video :) Part 2 will be posted next Tuesday!

@@ElizabethHoefkensdid you tell how many km ?

Hi @@2psyche1 ! In total I biked around 600km to Berlin. 😊

Hi! Thank you so much for your comments. I like hearing that you enjoyed watching it! 😊

Thanks for your comment! Wish you a lot of safe and fun bike rides!

Hey jon im Pilipino to and live in Berlin 👋

Hi @@letsgotravel6724 ! Thanks for your comment and Welcome on this channel!

​@@letsgotravel6724ah really? It's nice, wishing to travel my bike with you here in the Philippines soon maam

Thanks!! :)

Hahahah yess that's a great advice I will think about it 😂 Thanks!

I used the route from a Dutch route book called "Fietsen naar Berlijn". So I'm not sure about the name of the trail. On the site where I bought the book you can see the route: webshop.fietsvakantiewinkel.nl/fietsen-naar-berlijn 😊Hope this helps!

@@ElizabethHoefkens thank you for information. Is wild camping legal ? Or have to reserve the camping spot in advance in Netherlands and Germany?

Hi!@@hikingwithsaabath957 No, unfortunately wild camping is not legal in the Netherlands and generally not in Germany either. Although I have heard that there are areas in Germany where it is allowed, but as I know there are not many.

Hahaha jaa dat zeker! Ik doe het fietsen dan ook voor mijn plezier en niet voor de snelheid 😅

Hi! Thanks for your question; part 8 will be launched tomorrow on my channel 😊

@@ElizabethHoefkens Where's 9 Elizabeth?

Hi! I did travel in the summer! The winter is still a lot colder in Europe! It mostly varies between -2 to around 10 degrees. In summer however it can be cold during the nights as well!

Hey! Thank you for your reaction; that is good to know! I just started on RU-vid soo tips are always welcome :) I will pay attention to this when making the next videos.

@@ElizabethHoefkens Ye, what I see a lot of content creators do when they start out is to really over-edit the video. What I always find nice to watch is when the narrative matches the video, so what I mean is that you write out your script and create paragraphs and then cut the shot at the end of each paragraph so the editing of your story matches the editing of your video if you know what I mean. Maybe trow in an extra scene in there and match it up with a some music to change things up, i dont know, not saying you shouldnt be creative. However, now its a bit all over the place because you try to watch the video and listen to the story at the same time and its jumping all over the place making it a bit uncomfortable to watch. So what I mean is for example: At some point you start describing the beautiful landscape. So start that part of the story with cutting to you cycling through this landscape unedited, just let it run to match up while you tell your story about you experiencing it. Just pick the part in the recording that best matches this story and dont just try to show everything, just make a choice and stick to it. From 06:42 to 07:03 you cut to different shot 8 times while its essentially the same scene "story-wise". Reduce that to one or two cuts and just see how that feels.

@@ageoflove1980 Hi! Thanks for your comment, it means a lot to me that you take the time to write me an engaged post! And I think I get what you mean, indeed I feel like I want to show as much as possible but not make videos that are very long. So your tip is helpful! I'm going to explore how to work on this but it will definitely take some time ;) Every video I try to make a little better.

@@ElizabethHoefkens Sure and sorry if i sound too critical but i saw Tim's reaction and I felt a bit the same so I thought I just share my thoughts. The thing is, its not bad, but it watches almost like an action-packed music video which in my opinion isnt really corresponding with the feeling I personally like to get from cycling through nice landscapes.

@@ageoflove1980 No, I totally get it! The way you describe it is very clear and therefore useful. And I would like to get better at making videos!
