In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures Podcast, Nathan Starzynski is back on the podcast. Nathan, who once cycled across Canada and was on the podcast in Episode 153, now shares his journey of biking across Eurasia. Over two years and a distance of 41,500 kilometers, Nathan rode from Portugal to Japan, capturing stunning videos and recounting a variety of experiences. These include battling through sandstorms in Kazakhstan, navigating precarious tunnels in Tajikistan, and reveling in the unique cultures and landscapes of each country. Nathan discusses his strategies for managing video footage, including sending hard drives home, and the challenges of resuming a 'normal' life post-journey. He provides an insightful look into long-distance bike touring, travel logistics, cultural encounters, and the art of adventure videography.
