I can see two people are already here.
Please let me know how is the video and audio.
Is everything all right?
Let me know in the comments.
Mohamed.
I'm good, Mohamed.
Thank you very much.
How are you?
Audio and video all good.
Thank you very much.
Glad to hear that everything is all right.
Shaolin DNV.
Hello.
Nice to see you again.
The usual suspects.
Nice to see you again, guys.
Again, tonight we have this Q&A section.
Open live stream.
Any question that you might have to my upcoming trip to South America.
Feel free to ask.
Of course, if you have any other questions, you can ask me as well.
But if we can keep the topic, will be better.
If not, it's not a problem.
I was very busy today.
Actually came in last last moment.
Just five minutes ago.
You became addicted to my live streams.
Nice to hear that.
I hope that somehow the live streams help you with your future trips.
Eventually to make some good decisions or to correct some mistakes that you might
have had in the past, whatever.
But the main idea of this live stream is to help each other.
Not only we, me and you now the moment, but also many people that will watch the stream
after that, after we finished, because after we finish, I'm going to convert it to a normal
video and everyone who want could watch it after that.
So, guys, I hope that you are well.
Here we have some kind of gypsy summer.
It is still nice to ride outside between 15 and 20 degrees almost every day.
At least this week or next week is going to be colder already, like 10 degrees.
So I hope that on your end, you had some time to write, to enjoy your time and eventually to
travel.
So once again, if you have any questions on the topic, my upcoming trip to South America,
please feel free to ask.
If you have any other questions, you can ask me as well, because it is a bit strange to
me.
We have this one way connection.
I can read your comments and I can talk about it.
I can reply your questions.
But for you, it's different.
You can hear me.
You can see me.
It's a bit weird, but it is what it is.
So, Muhammad and Shaolin D&D are here.
Who are the rest of the guys?
Please introduce yourself in the comments, in the chat below, so we can discuss some
topics.
Yeah, it must be weird.
You must feel like talking to yourself.
Exactly like that, Muhammad.
I'm talking by myself, watching myself in the camera here.
And when I don't have feedback from you, no, it's not like a normal conversation.
Not at all.
That's why when I start doing these live streams at the beginning, I start only with
channel members and patrons, because I wanted just a few people to see how everything works.
Now I'm fine to do it with a lot of people, but it's still weird.
It's not like a one-to-one connection.
It's just a weird, weird way of communication.
So, I hope that more people will come and eventually some questions might come.
Muhammad or Shaolin D&D, do you have any additional questions?
Maybe for something else related to motorcycle trips?
As you can see, the number of people is rising.
So, to everybody else who just came, if you have any questions on the topic South America
or any other question, please go ahead.
Okay, DC.
Hi, when was your first 5G motorcycle trip and what was the biggest lesson to learn on
the trip to the bench motorcycle tripping?
First 5G trip, well, it was many, many years ago, maybe about 20 years ago.
What I have learned on the first trip was that I don't need much luggage.
This is what I learned very quickly.
I prepared so well, so many things for just a short 5G trip and then realized on the first
day, on the second day, that I don't need much luggage.
I learned it very fast.
Muhammad, I can't think of any other one, but I'll definitely ask you something else.
No, no worries, no worries.
So, this is the first and maybe the most important lesson that you have to understand, that
the more items you carry with you, the more problems you might have.
How to store it, how to load it, unload it every day and many more like that.
Good evening, Nikola Jaksinic from Serbia or Croatia or Montenegro, somewhere like this,
Croatia.
Okay, good.
Nice to see you here for the first time, I think.
If you have any questions, go ahead.
It's nice to have these different people from different places.
You'll see, I just came across your channel a week ago and I really like your content
and your traveling mindset.
Thank you very much.
I hope that you will find something useful to you.
I wish all the best for you, South America.
Thank you very much.
The same to you, whatever you plan to travel.
And from the nickname, not from the logo that you have, I think this means
in the name of God or something like that.
I have similar like this.
I have a plate with the same words in my garage or with the God will or something similar,
but it's definitely something religious.
So, you're probably Muslim if you have this with your logo, DC.
Okay.
It says Allah.
Yes.
Allah.
Okay.
Something like that.
Yes, true.
I swear today I saw your video and saw that the bottom left was like, wow.
Yeah, I have it in the garage.
Okay, guys, go ahead.
I already have 10 people.
Any question on any topic, preferable on South American trip, but you can ask me anything.
Let's make a nice conversation that might be beneficial for many people that will watch
the stream after that.
The main idea of this stream and this connection sort of connection that we have now is to
help many people with their trips and everyone else.
Please introduce yourself in the chat at the moment.
I can see only four people in the chat.
Mohammed DC, Nicola, Nicola and Shaolin DMV.
Shaolin DMV.
I traveled a bit mostly in Europe.
Everywhere I went, I felt something special.
Melancholy in Spain or a disillusioned feeling in England.
Do you feel something like that in your trip?
Every trip is different.
Every trip is interesting.
Every place deserves some attention.
And I feel different things on different trips.
In Europe, it's a little bit more familiar to me because I'm traveling around Europe
for many years.
But every trip has some kind of important and interesting moments.
And as I said, every trip deserves or every place around the world deserves attention.
Now, of course, I look forward to South American trip because it is completely different from
everything that I have seen so far.
That's why it's so interesting now for me to go and see it.
Just a second.
Mohammed, what kind of weather will you expect you to get there?
Like rainy season or something?
Mohammed, I will expect anything from 5 to 35 degrees in the north part of South America
where Brazil is.
I will expect a lot of rain.
And of course, it is obvious because I'm going to cross the jungle.
But then when I go to the coast, it will be more dry.
And on the south part of the continent where Ushuaia is, I will expect the temperatures
to drop to around 5 degrees.
Also on the high elevation mountain passes in Chile and Argentina, it will be cold and
windy.
But basically everything between 5 and 35 degrees.
And a lot of rain in the northern part of South America, Brazil especially.
Mohammed, will you be bringing any of your camping gear or just sleep in hotels?
No, I'm not going to bring any camping gear.
I won't bring any tent as well.
So I will sleep only in hotels, hostels, guest house, whatever I find a place to sleep.
But not a camping gear.
It is just too heavy and too pointless for this type of trip because most of the hotels
are between $10 and $15 per day.
So it does not really work to bring a tent with me.
Shaolin DMV, the feeling that the representative writers of South America, mostly fatalism
or depression.
I don't believe in this.
I have a different opinion about this continent.
And I have spoke with so many people that have already been there and all of them are
really impressed from everything that they have seen.
So I don't know why writers write what you said.
But I don't think that I will see any depression or fatalism in this part of the world.
So the point of view is different for everyone.
And I don't know.
Everyone feels different things and everyone expects different things from a specific region.
And maybe if you go with a big basket and you expect something so magical or stuff like
that, you'll be disappointed.
But when you come from a small country like me, Bulgaria, any place around the world is
nice and any place, as I said, already deserves attention.
And it's nice to see.
So I don't have such high expectations.
I'm not so, how I have to say, eager to see it on 100 percent.
No, not at all.
But I like to go there and see it with my own eyes.
And I know that it will be nice because there are so many different countries and different
regions and different weather conditions.
So there is no other option.
It will be nice.
I'm sure it will be nice.
Nicola.
Actually, I have a question.
I know that you use three-dimensional seed cover, but did you have the chance to try
early seed?
It's very expensive, so I don't want to buy it.
It depends on that.
How tall are you?
I am 185 centimeters with the early seed.
Early seed is like two centimeters higher than the seed that I have right now.
And I don't feel 186.
So you're about my height.
So with the seed that I have now, I feel perfectly fine.
I have a flat feet on the ground.
If I have two centimeters more, it will be a little bit different.
And also, I don't think that the early seed is more comfortable than the original seed
that I have right now.
I have ridden like a few hundred kilometers with the motorcycle with early seed, and I
cannot see a big difference, except that it's a little bit higher.
So I won't spend money for this seed, because I don't really need it.
But for you, it might be different.
OK, four centimeters.
Four centimeters, it's already different.
Even now, on some moments when I'm riding on not even terrain, when you have a different
elevation or different levels of the terrain, sometimes I feel short with this terrain.
So if I have another four centimeters, it will be even worse.
That's why I don't want to go 400 centimeters higher.
I cannot remember, will I go to Paraguay or Bolivia?
Yes, I will go to Paraguay and Bolivia as well.
All 10 countries, there are not 10, there are like 13 different countries in South America.
But things like Papua New Guinea and a few more countries are not really accessible with
a motorcycle.
I'm going to skip it.
But Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador,
Bolivia and back to Colombia.
So Paraguay, Uruguay as well.
And Bolivia as well.
This is the plan for now.
We'll see what will be possible to achieve at the end.
But I'm sure that will be all right.
So as I said, Nikola, if you don't really need it, don't go for this seat.
In terms of comfort, it is not going to change your comfort much.
But it will definitely fill the price.
Because I think it's like 300 euros or maybe more.
I'm not sure about it.
If you don't have this 3D mesh, I will advise you to go and try it first.
Because you might be surprised from the result.
It really works, it really works.
It will definitely work better than a rally seat.
And the positives of a rally seat are not so many.
Anyway, any more questions, guys?
People say it improves riding position because it's more flat.
Didn't try 3D mesh, by the way.
The original seat of the Tenere is also flat.
It's not like most of the curvy seats that have this shape.
The original seat of Tenere is also flat.
So it's not going to improve your comfort because it's flat.
It might improve your comfort because when you go higher,
your legs will have a different angle.
Instead of this angle, you will straighten a little bit your legs.
And it will be better for your knees.
Especially if you have a problem with the knees.
This might give you a little bit better comfortable position while you ride.
But on the other side, I said, if you're not on even terrain,
sometimes you might find yourself short when you have a higher seat.
And motorcycle with a high center of gravity like Tenere.
And definitely try this 3D mesh because it will cost you nothing.
Just a few dollars.
But it really works.
Muhammad, have you tried using sheep wool skin on seat covers?
Or some people using.
3D mesh works exactly the same as a sheep skin.
But without the negatives of the sheep skin.
Sheep skin, when it starts to rain, you have to remove it.
Otherwise, it will completely soak with water and will smell terrible.
And if you remove it, you have to put it somewhere.
With the 3D mesh, you don't have this problem.
So it's exactly the same principle.
It works exactly on the same principle.
Which is to provide some kind of air cushion between you and the seat.
Shaolin DMV, this trip is so exciting for me.
Can you imagine your level of excitement?
It's your roof.
Can you sleep on every time you close your eyes?
I don't have such excitement, Shaolin DMV.
I'm sorry to disappoint you.
I don't feel like that.
I really want to go there.
It's on my list.
It's on my plans.
I already have my ticket.
I cannot wait to go and start.
But I sleep very well.
Very well.
So maybe I have such excitement on my first trips.
Not anymore.
Now I feel it like something that I have to do.
Like a mission that I have to complete.
But that's everything.
Nikola, maybe I used the wrong words.
Original seat is V-shaped a bit.
Shaped a bit.
Cannot really say.
It's not really V-shaped.
It's all right.
For me, it's flat.
Yeah, there are two different seats, but it's flat.
Alexander Marek, nice to see you again.
I have to admit I can't feel much difference with mesh or without.
Because my trousers are waterproof anyway.
And Pardo, don't let air in.
Which ravet you're wearing.
It's not about the air that will go through your pants.
Even though your pants are waterproof.
It's about the air cushion that you have between the seat and your ass.
Not the air that will go through your pants.
At the moment, I'm wearing Ravet Echelon GTX.
This is the new model of Ravet, came last year.
It's a two-layer Gore-Tex suit.
So the air is going.
I feel a big difference with or without the mesh.
A few years ago, I was in Turkey.
And my 3D mesh was already cut on a few places.
Because every time when I jump on the motorcycle, I go with my leg over the seat.
And I touch it with the boot.
So I crack it on a few places.
And there were a few big spots like that.
And I decided, okay, this mesh is already warmed up.
Maybe it's time to remove it.
And I removed the mesh.
And as soon as I sat on the motorcycle, after one hour, I realized how badly it was before the mesh.
I already forgot what it is with or without the mesh.
So I will recommend to you, Alexander, ride with the mesh.
Then remove it and ride again.
And you'll see what I'm talking about.
So it really works.
And it works well.
And as I said, money is usually nothing.
Like $10-$15 maximum.
Your Turkey trip was my favorite series to watch.
Thank you very much, Mohammad.
Glad you enjoyed it.
So if not air, maybe temperature is the reason.
It's the temperature as well.
Because when you have this air gap between your ass and the seat, you have a different temperature.
When it's so hot, you don't feel it so hot.
When it's so cold, you don't feel it so cold.
And because the air circulates under your ass, it creates this good feeling.
So actually, the air in your butt circulates better.
Try it.
Try it, Nikol.
You might be surprised.
And I'm sure that you will be surprised because I tried it already.
I know what it is.
And it's not only me.
Many people already realized how bad it is with or how bad it is without the mesh.
Today I made another video that will come on Monday.
I'm not going to spoil about what it was.
I'm sure that will be interesting to some of you, especially for people who plan to
film their trips.
So if you have time to watch it on Monday on the main channel, go ahead and watch it.
I spent a few hours to film it outside in the garage.
And then it's still on my computer.
I need to edit it tomorrow and make it ready.
That's why I still have my camera here and all of my stuff.
It looks like there were not many questions.
So guys, if you don't have, I'm going to give you 10 more minutes.
And I'm going to end the stream here.
Alexander Marek, what budget do you think will be needed to South America?
I mean, without planning such expenses only for the moment you stay on a motorcycle.
In my estimation, it's around 1000 euros per month.
This is what I estimate right now.
More certain, I can tell you when I get back home.
But I'll think that it will be more or less like that.
Maximum 1500 euros per month.
This is a price without flight tickets, without any additional expenses if everything goes wrong.
Right.
Because if, for example, I have a problem with the motorcycle and break it, I have to fix it.
This will cost additional money.
If I have a problem with the health, this will cost additional money.
But just to travel over there, I think around 1000 to 1500 euros per month.
What's about to ask you about camera and microphone for editing?
What program do you use?
Any program will do the job.
I'm not going to tell you what program I use because there are some rules and regulations
that I don't want to share now.
But anything that you can find will do the job.
The important part is to learn how to use it.
About the camera and microphone, I have a lot of videos on the channel as well.
But I will have another one on Monday, so you watch it.
I use DJI camera, this one, DJI Osmo Action 4.
And it has this cover on the top.
It's an aluminum cover.
I have a detailed video about this camera.
You can watch it on the channel.
So that you're very proficient on the road, you learn how to experience some classes.
No, I learned everything from my experience.
From my experience, I learned everything from my mistakes.
That's why I made this channel, eventually, to help you avoid my mistakes and learn a
little bit faster.
Because when I started traveling, there was no information.
The information was very limited.
Maybe some old books, that was everything.
There is no YouTube or people like me on YouTube to tell you what to do.
So I learned everything from my mistakes.
That's why now I'm happy to share my experience and eventually help more people to travel.
Muhammad, all right, got to go, getting pretty late here.
OK, thank you very much for coming, Muhammad.
Thank you very much.
Looks like more people will come.
Anyway, I'm still here.
I'm not going to end the stream if you have more questions, guys.
So keep doing.
I'm here just because of you, because of your questions.
If you don't have questions, there is no reason for me to stay here and watching on
the screen, if you understand what I mean.
So I can see 12 people, but only three, five people in the chat.
So introduce yourself, say hello, where you're from.
And if you have any questions, go ahead and ask me on the topic South America or any other
question that you might have.
No response.
Alexander Marek, I recall someone said to you that there is no tax there when you were
in Russia.
What was in the region?
It was in Magadan, but not only in Magadan, in 90 percent, 95 percent of the Russian towns,
they don't have problems with the crime allowed.
Of course, there are places where you can be in danger, but there are not so many.
So it's a pretty safe country, I will say, compared to any place that I have been around
the world.
Shaolin DMV, I'm an old beginner.
I need to speed up the process and my body cannot take hard lessons.
So I need to learn from other mistakes.
This is the right way.
Clever people learn from other people, other people mistakes.
This is how clever people do it.
And if you can learn it faster, go ahead and do it.
As I said, I have that's why I have the channel.
I have more than 1000 videos, at least six, 700 videos are different how to do it on any
topic that you might imagine.
I already have at least one or two videos.
Just use the search engine on the top right and find anything that you need and you can
learn from mistakes.
I also have this online course, which is eight hours, and this is the compilation or not
compilation.
It's the best, the fastest way to learn everything.
Of course, it's a paid version, but for eight hours, you're going to have everything step
by step.
Go and check my course, read the comments of the people that already bought the course
and you'll see what I mean.
Why the cat disappeared from the wall?
It's not disappeared because I made some kind of rebuilding processes on the wall.
That's why I removed the cat.
It was a calendar.
It is over there on that table behind me.
You're going to see it.
So I'm going to put it again after a few days when I finish.
But I still did not finish the roof.
That's why.
But it will be back there after just a few days.
As I said, I came here in the last moment and I couldn't put everything on the place.
That's why.
I still have one cat over there.
Still have one cat over there.
Big cat.
All right.
This was a good question.
Thank you very much for asking.
That means you noticed everything.
Good.
Go ahead, guys.
15 people.
I still don't have questions.
Just a few.
Alexander, Shaolin, Nikola.
And that's it.
And the rest of you are still hiding behind the screen.
Introduce yourself in the chat.
Alexander Marek.
Japan.
When?
Well, as soon as possible.
It's a country that I would say it's not really a motorcycle destination.
But it's so interesting country that I would definitely like to go and see it.
I don't know when.
It's a good question.
When the time comes is the answer.
So, guys, don't be shy.
I am here because of you.
Go ahead and ask me questions.
Hello, John.
Nice to see you.
Thessaloniki.
Ela, ela, ela.
How are you?
How is the weather in Greece?
I guess now.
Now is right.
It's better.
Still hot.
Alexander Marek.
It's probably easy to combine Japan with Korea or other nearby countries by ferry.
Not really.
Ferries are not really a possible option.
Korea to Japan by ferry, which is an expensive option.
And each one of these countries, especially Japan, deserve a different trip.
Just one trip to Japan.
I will fly there, find a motorcycle there, ride it and fly back.
I'm not going to bring my motorcycle there because it will be too expensive.
I'll do exactly the same with South Korea and each one of these small countries that are
in this Southeast Asia.
Why do you think everyone is doing North Cape?
Well, North Cape, it's an interesting point on the map in the northern part of Europe.
It's nice to see it.
I planned a trip to North Cape a few times.
Every time something was stopping this trip and I've never been there.
Now, I don't really think that I plan to go there again.
Maybe in the future I will go there, but it's not something that I'm interested in at the moment.
Norway is a very beautiful country.
Definitely, I've been to the south part of Norway.
But it's a very expensive country.
So it's an expensive journey.
I don't know.
I don't have plans to go right now.
Maybe in the future when I finish everything that I want to see.
The weather is perfect for motorists.
Perfect, John.
Perfect.
Thanks for sharing.
ShaolinDNV, this year I think you organized some meeting in Bulgaria.
Do you plan to do it again next year?
I think I have enough experience and I would like to participate.
For next year, maybe in the summer, yes.
Definitely, we'll have at least two, three different motorcycle meetings in Bulgaria.
Bulgarians, we organize here this adventure group in Bulgaria.
We organize these meetings.
And some of the meetings, yes, of course, again, I can invite a lot of people.
When exactly?
I don't know, but probably in the summer.
So I will probably invite many people like you if you like to come and meet me in person and
meet the guys and talk with them.
Yeah, it will be fantastic and probably we'll do it.
Where are you from?
ShaolinDNV.
And why is this name?
ShaolinDNV.
Name comes from Romania.
You're easy.
We're going to definitely make a meeting and I will invite again many people from
neighbor countries if they like to come and meet me.
Not only me, you'll meet so many interesting people over there.
It's always good pleasure.
A lot of drinks, a lot of talks, camping fire.
It's interesting.
You'll enjoy it.
Ah, okay.
You're welcome, Alexander Marek.
If you want, I can write a note to your wife that I invite you in person so you can come and
meet me.
Okay, perfect.
We have a deal.
We'll see.
Let's first come back safe in one piece.
Then we can discuss future meetings.
Now it's a big mission ahead.
All right, guys.
Now, honestly, I'm going to give you 10 more minutes because we don't have any questions.
And after that, I'm going to end the stream.
And as I said, Monday, I'm going to have a video that might help too many people,
especially for those of you who plan to film their trips.
And next Thursday, I don't know yet.
It might be a stream on the topic South America or might be important information that I would
like to share.
Shaolin was my nickname in university.
DMV comes from doctor, medic, veterinarian.
Doctor for veterinary medicine.
Oh, okay.
So you're a doctor.
Ah, I see.
So you're a clever man.
Great skills for off-road rides.
Okay.
I used to ride off-road here in my country for six, seven years.
But on some stage, it became just...
I like it.
I still enjoy it.
But it is just not enough.
I want to see more.
And if you stick only on the off-road, you limit yourself a lot.
Yeah, I enjoy it very much when you ride in the mountains, when you climb a nice hill
and you go on the top and all of this feeling is fantastic.
But this is not enough for me.
I just want to travel, to see more, to see the whole world.
When you ride only off-road, off-road, off-road, you're circling in the same tracks over and
over again.
Okay, you move here, you move there.
But it's still a very limited experience.
And that's why when I start traveling, it became like, wow, completely different things.
And you can combine traveling with off-road sections here and there.
It's an absolutely completed trip, if you understand what I mean.
So that's why only off-road.
Yeah, for many people that haven't got any free time, let's say one day in the week,
and they try to enjoy riding dirt bikes in the forest.
I was exactly the same.
I haven't got any time.
I was having just like a few hours per week, and I was enjoying riding in the dirt.
But now it's a different story.
Alexander Mark, I pretend my Sierra 300 is a road bike when I have to get to Greece,
and it turns to off-road.
Yeah, it's universal.
You can do anything with it.
That's why I like this adventure, so-called adventure motorcycles, because you can ride
them on the road and off-road as well.
Contra 1610, don't you afraid of cartels, bad people, and et cetera?
No, no, I'm not afraid of this Contra.
I have heard a lot of things about South America, and 99% of the things are only positives.
Cartels has nothing to do with me.
Cartels, they've got their business, and I am not a business competition to them or anything
that might break or stop their problems.
So cartels are not going to fight or kill someone without any money.
So I'm not a problem for the cartels.
And the cartels are not a problem to me, if you understand what I mean.
Of course, if you want to get in trouble, you can be in trouble, but you can have troubles
even in the middle of, let's say, European countries like Germany.
So I'm not afraid from it.
And I'm going to show you everything on the videos.
You'll see that it's not exactly what they say.
Of course, if you plan to go and sell drugs in South America, you definitely need to fear
from cartels, or if you go and plan to buy drugs or to deliver drugs or to transfer big
amounts of money, you definitely need to be afraid from cartels.
But if you plan to travel with a motorcycle on a budget way, nothing to worry about it.
And bad people you can find everywhere.
Planning to visit any slums?
What does it mean, slums?
I don't know this word.
Let me Google it.
Slums.
Ah, okay, so ghettos.
Yes, I plan to visit some ghettos.
I plan to see some parts of Brazil as well.
And especially if I have someone to show me exactly what it is, I will go there definitely
with pleasure.
We'll spend an idea.
I would like to see this, especially if I have someone to show me what it is.
If I am alone, yes, I will definitely try to go and cross some of these neighborhoods.
We'll see.
Contra 1610, in your tip, there are routes to the jungle, off-road terrain as well?
Yes, there are.
There is one big stretch from one section like 3,000 kilometers to the biggest continental
jungle, equatorial jungle, from Manaus to Belém in Brazil.
And I look forward to this road.
It's not only off-road.
In my calculations, around 700-800 kilometers off-road.
The rest is a road, bad or good condition, I don't know.
But yeah, there will be some interesting moments.
Alexander Marek, excellent attitude.
Yeah, this is the only one that I have and I think that it helped me for so many years
and it will help me now as well.
Still the same number of people in the counter, but just a few here in the comments.
Don't be shy.
Please ask your questions.
Introduce yourself in the chat, who you are, where you come from, what questions you might
have.
Please make this conversation interesting for me as well, because now you can hear,
you can see me, but I cannot.
I rely only on your comments.
And if you are not in the comments, I just stay here in an empty room, if you understand
what I mean.
Conversation is supposed to be like this, not only me talking.
If I want only to talk, I'll film a video.
Then on the video, I'll press the button, record myself and then go to sleep.
But now we talk to each other.
So I rely on your comments.
Alexander Marek, North America.
North America, is it in your interest or too civilized like Europe?
I've been to the States five, six times, not with a motorcycle.
Once I rode a motorcycle that belongs to a friend of mine for a few thousand kilometers.
It's not really my type of destination that I would like to see now.
It's just too wide, too flat.
I might do it on some stage, but I don't have really interesting.
Now it's just too civilized, if I can understand it.
Or if I can say it this way, too civilized, yes.
And too expensive right now.
Maybe in the future, but I don't have interest now.
I've been to Alaska as well.
And I don't think that Alaska is a motorcycle destination, because the best part of Alaska,
you can see when you hike in the mountains, when you fly in the mountains.
Not when you ride on one big road, if you understand what I mean.
Will you sleep in tents or only when necessary?
I'm not going to bring any tent with me, Contra.
I'll sleep in hotels, hostels, guest houses, anything that I can find a place to sleep,
but not in a tent.
I'm not going to even have a tent with me.
It's pointless when you have access to cheap hotels.
Tent is necessary when the hotels are very expensive, like in Europe or in the States.
Or when you really want to spend the night in the tent.
But I have more than enough tents in my life, and I don't feel this like an adventure anymore.
If I have a tent, I cannot start early riding because the tent will be wet.
So I expect a lot of rain in Brazil, which means that if I have a tent, it will be wet
all the time.
So I'm not going to get a comfortable sleep the whole Brazil, because it will rain probably
almost every day.
That's why the tent is not an option to me.
On this trip.
On my trip to Europe a few years ago, I spent like two weeks in the tent.
From one and a half months, I have like two weeks in the tent because it was too expensive.
Mystery00t or ot, what is your next destination after South America?
After South America, I'll go to Africa.
I already have an invitation to visit a few countries around Africa, and I'll do it next
year.
But it's next year.
Let's first continue with South America, and then it's going to be Africa.
This is the plan for now.
All right, guys, it looks like there are no more questions, so I'm going to end the stream
here.
And as I said, next week, the same on Thursday, I might have a stream or maybe a video with
information about my next trip.
I don't see that many people interested from the streams, and they don't have many questions.
That's why I'll continue doing probably videos on every Thursday.
And then I still have like 20 days before my flight.
Once I start the trip, it will be a different story on this channel because I will upload
almost every day a short update how everything is going.
And of course, long video episodes I will do only when I get back home safe in one piece.
Thank you very much to all of you that were here tonight.
Thank you for the questions and the time that you spent here.
And see you next week.
Good luck to you as well.
