[EP19] 1 AN DE VOYAGE À VÉLO - ON VOUS RACONTE TOUT !

So for the 1 year, we have prepared a special video where we answer all your questions. You who have been following us for maybe a year for some, we thought it was time to tell you a little more about us, who we are and where we are on this trip, because 1 year is not nothing. So we have questions about the trip and questions about us on a trip. At the time you see this video, we are in Montenegro, which is the 19th country visited in this trip. So it's starting to do a lot. We challenge you to put Montenegro on the map, because the Balkan countries are very small, very close, and unfortunately unknown and underrated. We will talk about it in the next video. Completely underrated, completely. So we have a great time, it's beautiful, the people are super nice. In short, this is not the subject for now. More than 13,000 km on the clock for this trip. And then an incredible number of meetings, anecdotes, improbable situations experienced. We will try to cover as much as possible in this video, but of course there will be a lot to tell for the rest. So you have been many to ask us a lot of questions, especially. We couldn't keep everything because there were too many. There will be two rounds. One round where we will answer questions about the trip. And a round where it will be more of a game between the two of us. Basically, the one who does this more, the one who does that more. And we will each have to answer what we think. So we'll see if we're on the same page or not. Let's go for the first round. Let's go! First round, quick question. The essential of the trip. In fact, everything is essential. But luckily, because otherwise we would bring superfluous things. The dish most often cooked. I would say pasta. Frankly, classic. But a bag of 500 grams makes us two meals, it's ideal. I wouldn't have said pasta. We don't eat it as much as we don't know. I think we vary a lot. In fact, it's more ingredients. Like peanuts. It's in all meals all the time. Good or bad idea, the wood stove? This question is funny. We had so many questions about the wood stove. Both at the same time, frankly. It has a lot of advantages, a lot of disadvantages. Good idea in summer, bad idea in winter. I would say that. The good surprise of the trip. Turkey. Yeah, in terms of country. It wasn't planned, actually, Turkey. So it's not a good surprise because we were expecting it to be terrible. It's just that we weren't supposed to go there. So good surprise to go there and live there for two months. Absolutely incredible. Absolutely. The mistake not to reproduce. The Balkans in winter. Take a bus in Greece. Total hassle. We talk about it in the Greece episode. It's really a hassle. You have to be patient. Strong seas. Have a lot of courage. Where do you get all your energy and good mood? In fact, it's just too good, what we live. And then the food, really. In the peanuts, the chocolate. Well, that's what motivates me a lot. But on a daily basis, on a trip or not. But on a bike, it really motivates because it's our fifth of the year. And then, no choice but to stay positive. We saw the slightest moment when we didn't think positively. It's really the moose. Everything is going wrong. By staying positive, everything happens for the better. And it also helps a lot to be two. Because there is always one who tries to be more positive than the other. And who meets the moral. So yeah, no choice. Life is more or less expensive on a bike than in Rennes. Well, the same, I think. We thought less. I don't know how we handle it. But in the end, it's the same. The expenses are different. That's it. We don't have a salary. But there are a lot of other expenses that balance. The greatest moment of happiness and the greatest moment of discouragement. So, like that, hot, great moment of happiness. Faith, we were invited to the castle in Poland. The greatest moment of discouragement. The ice cream bus. The greatest moment of discouragement. The time when we couldn't find a bivouac in Turkey. I don't even know if we talked about it on video. It was so much trouble. And it was horrible. It was horrible. In the end, we camped in the middle of a village. In the garbage. Really in a garbage dump. In the mud. It was raining. It rained for 48 hours. Horrible. Really discouraging. The greatest moment of happiness. I love the moment when I go to bed and fall asleep. Every day. Your record without a shower. So, without a real shower, I would say 6 days. I think. Knowing that we wash or go to the toilet between 2. But yeah, without a real shower, I think 6 days. Horrible. How do you deal with the cold in winter? Especially at night? Good duvets. Honestly. As long as we know we can be in our duvet without being cold. It's good. Good duvets and good mattresses too. Because the mattress will really isolate from the ground. And therefore, isolate from the cold. And a good duvet. Fortunately, we had duvets. For your information, my duvet is comfort minus 9. So, it's extreme. But at least in winter, I'm comfortable. Have you ever been on the verge of giving up? Give up? I don't think so. Really give up? Maybe. Me, a little bit. At the very beginning, actually. I think it took me at least 3 months to adapt to this life. By bike. And suddenly, for 3 months, there was ... Well, I still asked myself questions. Are we really leaving? Or is it ... Well, it was still time to turn around, actually. And after that ... It was gone. The question was no longer asked. We adapt to all situations. What is the worst dish you have ever eaten? For me, the thing that comes to mind is a dish that made us sick. It was in Turkey. Yes. And so, it wasn't the worst dish in itself. It's okay. It's still a bit of a pain in the ass. Even if it has a bit of a taste and a weird smell. But in fact, afterwards, we had food poisoning. And suddenly, too bad memories of that. And it was basically stuffed peppers. Since then, we can't eat stuffed peppers anymore. We saw it several times, we can't anymore. It disgusts me just to see them. We didn't even talk about it, it disgusts me. Have you ever ridden a bike naked? So, no. I don't see the point, personally. Frankly ... No. Zero comfort. The object brought that was useless. So, I have a book by Pierre Rabhi. I was going to say that too. In addition, I am the one who wears it. And it's a book that Brewen wanted to bring. And every month, I repeat, are you sure you don't want to read your book? Because he still hasn't read it. So, I read it. Well, not quite finished. I never opened it. And I don't find the time to read. So many things to do all the time. So, you were told that there was nothing superfluous. But yes, there is this book in the background. It's the exception. In addition, it's an exciting book. Be careful. But it's a bit of a philosophical book. And so, I also think that after cycling days, it's still something light and entertaining. And so, I think that's it. Second little thing that is useless. The dehydrated shoes that we have since the start. They have been in bags for a year. We bought them very happy on the first day we left France. Saying to ourselves, it will be very useful. Saying to ourselves, we will be very happy. In addition, it's written in French and everything. So, the proof. Two ... Oh yes, but it's crazy. But two little pots, mushrooms and tomatoes. It looks good, but it's just that ... In fact, I think we keep it in case of emergency. But there has never been an emergency. We especially need something more consistent. A simple dehydrated soup. So, in the end, we never eat that. Your legs a year ago and now. Well, I think a lot of people are disappointed. Because there is no major transformation. Hard way anyway. We do intensive sport. But we don't necessarily take it in volume. In fact, we are just much more tonic than before. We gained in endurance. But we don't have the legs of rugby players. And finally, the biggest weather problem. So, I go back to what Léa said earlier. It was in Turkey when we left Ankara. Really 48 hours of floating. But abundant. Abundant. Non-stop. So, not only the rain from the sky. And the rain on the ground. Because it gave mud. But it was unbearable. We had it everywhere. It was the very beginning of our stay in Turkey. And I said to myself, frankly, it's going to be horrible. We're going to leave this place quickly. In the end, everything worked out. We spent two months there. But that's how it is. Weather problems. Either consecutive rainy days. Because if it's just a rain like that. For example, in Finland, we had rain every day. But we also had the sun. So, it's okay. It dries. But when it's non-stop rain for several days. Terrible. And the wind. Here in Macedonia, we had three days of intense wind. And it kills. It kills. It's super tiring. Second game. Second round. Duo question. So, on us. Léa. Me. The two of us. So, the questions on us. We're going to have to choose. If it's rather the other. Rather self. And vice versa. It's clear. Well, you'll understand. So. The one who has the most bad ideas. The one who encourages the other the most. We agree. The one who had the most tires punctured. Without hesitation. And we are, I think, at ... 10 or 11. For you. 4. Yeah. It seems to me that you have the triple, yeah. The one who had the idea of ​​traveling by bike. Both. So, yes, it's really a common discussion. So, there's no one who drew first. We really drew together. The one who is most afraid of being demotivated. It's better now, but it was not. The one who rattles the most. On a trip like at home. The one who repairs the bikes. It's also on a trip like at home. The one who puts away the bags. Yeah. On a trip like at home. The one who does the dishes. So, I wash and you dry. Yeah, but ... It's me who puts my hands with water at minus one degree. And it's you who takes the initiative and everything. Well, it was his fault. Almost. Yeah, almost. Frankly. We would have done better. We did not revise in advance. Well, we hope that these little games will have helped you get to know us a little better and have an idea of ​​what we experience on this trip. Because it's really something very strong. We are very happy to share this with you. And we are very happy that you followed us on this adventure. It motivates us to make videos, to take pictures, to really try to list a little of everything we live, to share it. So thank you for following us. The trip continues, it's not over yet. And even after this trip, we promise you that it will not be over. There will be other things that will happen. If you have any other questions, as usual, do not hesitate to ask them in the comments. And then, see you next time. We hope you enjoyed this episode. And next time back on the bikes, the Balkans. Thank you for watching. See you next time.
