#Iohan gueorguiev bike wanderer

[359midnightburgers]

I found out today that Iohan Gueorguiev, the Bike Wanderer who cycled from northern Canada to southern Argentina by himself over the span of 6 years, passed away from suicide back in 2021. He had apparently been dealing with depression, stemming from the inability to travel in the pandemic and issues with insomnia.

He made amazing video's about his travels that were super high quality. I also found out that his video's are disappearing off youtube due to copyright strikes about music (only 25 of the original 40 episodes of 'See The World' are currently still up).

It's a long shot, but did anyone download the episodes as they originally came out? Not only were they amazing to watch, I also genuinely think they are worth archiving, as they showed the culture, nature and his personal interactions across 2 continents and many more countries. He was such an amazing and inspiring person.

€œI’ve lived vicariously through Iohan for years,” one reader commented below an article about Mr. €œHis curiosity just carried him over and over the next mountain,” said Joe Stiller, whose biking gear company, BarYak, sponsored Mr. He called the remote Dempster Highway in Canada’s far northwest “a world of blue ice and white sky.” “There is snow here nine months of the year, and I wanted to see the North as it truly was,” he said of his winter journey through the Arctic. Gueorguiev found wonder in the harshness of the wilderness. When he was running out of food on a particularly arduous journey, he nevertheless fed tortilla-and-peanut-butter sandwiches to stray dogs. When a tanker truck passing him on the road kicked up a storm of dust, he waved cheerfully in response. “Hey, beautiful!” he called out to a large bear staring at him. He would go as long as 30 days without seeing a fellow cyclist and, when biking was not feasible, could wait two days on the road to get picked up as a hitchhiker.Ī spirit of generosity helped him get by. Headwinds on desert plains required him to take long breaks sheltered behind rocks and make a campsite in a stray shipping container, which itself shook from powerful gusts. Gueorguiev tried to cast the obstacles he encountered as part of a grand adventure, his videos showed genuine hardships. He earned about $3,000 a month through the funding website Patreon and received bikepacking sponsorships, enabling him to exchange the basic touring bike he started with for one with fat tires designed for riding off-road. He would sometimes position the camera at a distance, making it appear as if he traveled with a cinematographer.

He shot his videos with a simple GoPro camera charged by a portable solar panel. While biking, he would get sidetracked by serendipitous encounters and eccentric trails. Gueorguiev occasionally flew back to Canada to earn money planting trees, he said. Gueorguiev’s exact movements could be hard to pin down, it seems clear he spent from April 2014 to March 2020 biking from the Canadian Arctic Circle to its South American antipode, the icy mountains and valleys of Patagonia. Calling himself the Bike Wanderer, he stood out for his Beatnik-like romanticism about the open road, in contrast to the competitiveness of many bike jocks and gear heads. He was a star in the world of “bikepacking,” long-distance bike travel conducted off main roads. Gueorguiev made his name overcoming challenges hurled at his body and spirit. His death was announced on biking websites late last month. The cause was suicide, said Matthew Bardeen, a friend who was helping to oversee Mr. 19 in Cranbrook, British Columbia, where he had been using the home of friends as a base for travel during the pandemic. Gueorguiev (generally pronounced gyor-ghee-ev) died on Aug.

While browsing the New York Times’ website in August of 2021 I came across a link to an article that immediately caught my attention. The link read, “Iohan Gueorguiev, ‘Bike Wanderer’ of the Wilderness, Dies at 33.” It was probably the combination of his odd name, his given title and the fact that he lived a short life that drove me to find out more. In his short life, and in particular his last…
