[GreenDevilAngel]

[ElGranDonFelipe]

about to go on a similar trip. great job!

[MrManHawk]

Normally I don't like slideshows very much but the pace & random beauty throughout your video is very captivating. The freedom enjoyed in this vid. gives me pangs of envy, I too intend to drop everything and strike for horizons unseen. Thanks for being part of that inspiration. There is one boring question I have, how did you finance your trip, did you save first or work along the way, both? Thank you very much, I'll be looking for your book on shelves.

[ScottyStoll]

@MrManHawk Thanks for writing. I'm honored to be an inspiration. I worked for 4 years in advertising to save money. The trip only cost me about $25USD/day. More FAQs can be found on my website.

[wallykav1516]

looked for your book today,couldn find it anywhere,they said it was being republished on August 24th here in Ireland,hope to read it soon.

[ScottyStoll]

@wallykav1516 Thanks for writing. Ordering the book overseas works a little different. The second edition is coming out soon. You should be able to order it at any store, on Amazon, or you can visit my site and buy a book via paypal and I can ship it to you.There is also an audio and e-book version to save shipping.

It takes so little to do big things for one's happiness.

[rachelhelen19]

I would do this!

[stargen5]

how much does it cost you per day? Average cost? Total cost for the entire trip? Thanx.

[iamkat2]

Fantastic!! Inspirational!! Love it!!

[CappaDriver]

truly amazing!

i did have one question though,

how did you get the pictures of yourself riding your bicycle?

[ScottyStoll]

I gave the camera to a friend or bystander. Thx for watching.

[PlanetXObserver]

Did that bicyclist guy ever tried to ride through Iraq,Afghanistan or Iran?Great video!!!!

[ScottyStoll]

Not me. But I have friends that did cycle Iran and Afghanistan, and they say they were treated with great hospitality.

[PlanetXObserver]

@ScottyStoll That's good news wow I never thought that there would be friendly people over there nice channel.

[jacksun3]

That will get me to lose that last 10 lbs. Love the video and your page.

Did you do the whole tour with one bike?

How much money did you need for a tour that long? How was it riding solo? was it safe in most countries?

[ScottyStoll]

One bike. $20 per day. Lonely but rewarding.  Yes, very safe. I answer all the FAQs on my website and in my book with entertaining short stories.

[prometheusmanus]

Simply Inspirational!!!

Incredible footage!!!!

[BarEnFaroth]

Mate, one thing I would imagine myself finding hard.

Is adapting back into a day to day existence.

Boring 9-5 job.

And you doing that.

Haha they don't compare do they?

And yet so many people sell themselves to doing the former.

I hopefully, in time will be doing the latter.

Already getting started for a tour of my country Ireland.

Inspirational mate.

Very.

[ScottyStoll]

Thanks for your words of encouragement. Currently, I'm doing everything I can do to avoid being chained to a desk. currently I'm on a book tour. But that's actually more hard work than a regular job, but it's my job. Good luck on your tour.

[RicksonByArmbar]

Wow. Way too cool. "Jealous" doesn't even begin to describe it.

[LincolnandHolt]

"Wow" would be an understatement.

[samuel92543]

Congratulations on achieving an incredible dream of adventure. Very inspiring. Lincoln

[s67impala]

That's awesome!

I bet his butt hurt...

[twowheelterror]

Great way to document the trip - otherwise you would have so many pictures that there is no way to show the coolness to family and friends without boring them. nice work!

[ProjectPedal]

Amazing journey! Thanks for sharing.

[R8films]

Good stuff. I have seen so many cycling vids on youtube of pictures and they just dont hold your concentration. This one does, thanks.

[jrboyajian]

Precious!! I've ALWAYS wanted to do that . . .

. . . maybe someday. Thanks for sharing!

[ScottyStoll]

Thanks for the comment. Good luck in your own adventures.

PS I just posted another video

[LVHarlot]

You rock! . . . and I agree, it's not about the bike. Live large and I hope to catch up with you on your bike journey across America.

[cchapko]

Amazing!

[gemar58]

Thanks for the journey!!
