- Motorcycle travel is very addictive and I have been asked several times what I do when I don't travel. Am I not bored, do I miss the road and many similar questions. In this video, I will try to answer these questions.

Love that you made a video like this. Many people don't undestand how much work it takes to create anything on youtube.. and no guarantee anyone will even watch it 🙂
That's true.
It is what it is!
Pavlin, I’m always amazed by your work enthusiasm and no nonsense approach,a delightful take on life…thank you 🙏
Thanks for taking the time and watch my videos!
Well done explaining this! People that don't create don't understand how much time and effort goes into making a "short" video.
Exactly!
Keren sekali pak pembahasan nya sangat di mengerti buat kaum travel salam hangat dari Indonesia
Thanks for taking the time!
@@motorcycleadventures sama sama pak sukses buat bapak semoga saya bisa seperti bapak
Еквала за всичко,което ни показваш и споделяш не се променяй продължавай все така поздрави от Мадрид
Няма изгледи за промяна, спокойно! Благодаря за отделеното време!
Iskreno,svaka čast Pavlin
Pozdra iz Istre
Thanks, man!
Well done with such not often to talk about topic. Insightful. Merci!
Any time!
Pavlin, I appreciate your hard work and efforts to keep posting amazing & great video, thank you so much 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My pleasure!
So far I have watched about 50% of your videos. Thanks to you, I have gained a lot of information about motorcycle world. Hopefully one day I will meet you and " Paco " for lunch/dinner in Varna, when I'll be visiting Bulgaria. With regards from London
Thanks, man!
I like motorcycle videos so I though one day why not make my own. I bought a camera and went on a trip to Romania. I filmed some rides came home and started to edit. This took forever. It took me a week next to my regular job to make one 20-30 minute video. And it sucked :D. Now the camera is somewhere on the shelf and I don't want to see it. So every youtuber producing regular videos has my biggest respect
As I said it is not easy.
Candid and beautiful!
Thanks, man!
👏👏regards from Hungary! 🙂
Thanks from Bulgaria!
There are so many Shill Channels out there and it is very rare that someone like you keeps it real and this is very very much appreciated. Continue your awesome work and maybe I make it to Bulgaria in the future and if you ever come by Austria give me a holler.
I appreciate that!
I'm out to my house near Provadia today for 2 weeks, im hoping for some good weather for my T700.
I spent a year working in Brasil in 2000. Have some knowledge or riding in Brasil, are you still planning a trip to South America.
Pavlin, a very good video about the challenges as a YTer. Thanks :)
My pleasure!
Thank you for all your hard work and passion. We really enjoy watching your content, when not on bikes. Cheers Pavlin
I appreciate that!
Pavlin! Thank you for the video, as always, I really enjoy listening to your take on all things related to motorcycles! Also, your presentation is clear and understandable. So, my question is, given this is the best youtube channel on the planet, where in your schedule do you make time for the paparazzi!
Take care!
Dave
The time is flexible, Dave! Thanks for watching!
Pavlin, nice video, I'm watching your channel for some time and see that your work travel and live balance is very similar to mine. I’m inspired by your trips and tips as well. I’ve decided to buy the t700 instead gs1250. Furthermore, I hope that someday we will have opportunity to talk live and maybe ride together. I like to grab my favorite drink and watch your videos.
Cool, thanks!
Beautiful explained! Beautiful ending : " my goal always been the same, to see the hole world ....not to become the most popular youtuber " Glad to see you making money from a passion , it's hard sometimes but stay strong! Cheers and God bless! 👊
Thanks!
Even when we do what we have a passion for, it's still work.... Just more rewarding.... excellent breakdown... thanks
Absolutely!
We never see all the time you spend in preparation. This is very inlightening.
Do your parents and family keep track of you on the trip channel when you are abroad.
Your English is vary good...better than my Bulgarian! LOL
Nowadays is is to communicate with the family, no they don't rack me.
I think youtube can make people more poorer than richer, it's a lot of work for not much pay. You have to do youtube for more than just the money.
I appreciate your content on here
Sandy
Agree!
Hi Pavlin
You explained exactly the reason why I prefer long distance travelling to being present on (anti-) social media. I even don’t have WhatsApp or Facebook etc. Just watching Itchy Boots, Big Rock Moto and this channel. Occasionally some others when I’m free….
Keep on doing your thing 👍
Peter from Austria 🇦🇹
Thanks for sharing!
Hi
Thank you for your channel, I really enjoy it.
I am Italian born, living in Cape Town, South Africa. I think this is one of the best pleases for adventure riding. Although I have not been riding long (since 2009) and being vertically challenged (I am NOT tall) I have done close to 150 000 to 200 000km of adventure riding on 3 different bikes.
XT660 for less than 1 year
KTM 990 Adv until about 3 years ago (BY far the best bike I had)
BMW GS 1200R currently.
I do mostly long trips and do NOT commute on the bike, Many trips I do solo, but sometimes with friends. My trips have taken me to most of South Africa, Namibia (multi times as this is my favorite) and Lesotho (where I experienced snow for the first time)
Because I am short all my bikes are to high for me, but I just ride them and enjoy.
Firstly if you ever have a desire to come to South Africa I could maybe assist, and meet up with you.
I am fortunate enough to go to Europe often, and hope to be in Florence in September 2024. I have a home and a car there but was thinking of getting a motorcycle. Maybe you can give me advice of what motorcycle ( in Europe they have many more makes and models than South Africa) and maybe some good routs
Just out of interested I am 62 years young.
Sorry for the long message, and hope to hear from you.
Antonino

Thanks for taking the time, Antonio!
great video...thanks
Glad you liked it!
Great video explaining everything, very interesting,, keep up the great work 🫡👏
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you Pavlin for your work.
I have learn a lot from your videos even when I don't have ambitions to be big motorcycle traveller.
I love motorcycling since my teenage years and now I'm middle aged man. My passion was long in "sleeping mode" from different reasons and I was watching your videos for long without being active motorcyclist. Maybe your videos was helped me to return in some part. I like your way of practic and minimalistic thinking.
Your channel has changed content a little bit. I liked more this content from beggings of your channel- perspective of simply man, complete opposite of rich gs or expensive harley owner which fully equipped with his unlimited pay card can't get any emotion traveling through alps for example.
I remember your story with bulgarian wisdom about "necessity"- this kind of philosophying and connecting this with motorcycling travel was masterpiece. You do good job. Thank you again.
Thanks for taking the time!
Grande pavlin!! Adoro a tua maneira original de explicares o que é ser um moto explorador. Desde Portugal e sendo eu um T7 vejo sempre os teus videos que me têm ajudado a perceber o teu Mundo. Quem sabe um dia regressas a Portugal e nos podemos encontar algures numa montanha no Algarve e beber our favorite drink!! Abraço!
The world is not that big. See you on the road!
Thanks Pavlin, Just finished a week with Joy & Martin in Gran Canaria, fantastic week on a motorbike, thanks for the recommendation 👍
Fantastic!
Wow, you have my same speakers
Cool!
Поздравления за това видео!
Благодаря!
Good organization my friend.
Thank you!
Sounds like a lot of work. Missenden Flyer recently posted how much he makes off youtube - interesting watch too.
It is what it is!
Евала! Кратко, точно и ясно.
Благодаря за отделеното време!
A busy week, and good to see the other side of the production.
Wirh apologies i will be absent Sunday livestream, because Lina is taking me to Portugal. How can i refuse?
I will watch the recording with interest especially as you are kind enough to cover my suggestion.
I always learn at least 1 new thing!
Ride safe 👍
No worries, enjoy your time!
Lots of work. But hourly rate is probably 5 times bigger than average Bulgarian hourly rate 😅
Keep up the good work and watch out for burn out. That’s the danger of making your hobby, your job 🤷♂️
I never stressed my self too much and also I am Bulgaria, we don't know what is burnout!
Good job. Do you know how Itchy Boots uploading materials straight from road 2 times per week? Probably she sent videos to assistant back home and someone do it for her.
I don't want to be on hers place!
Biglove from Your fans In dubai❤❤❤
Thank you!
Pavlin what city,town do you live in? Will look it up on goggle earth. Thank you for your hard work. Nice way for me to really see what other countries and citizens are really like. Not the governments point of view. Take care.
I am from Varna.
Наистина оценявам работата на UA-camrs, които постоянно предоставят добро съдържание. За мен това би било твърде много работа за твърде малко пари. Не искам да бъда притискан от съмнителен алгоритъм.
Не е виновен алгоритъма! Той не притиска никой, просто реагира на гледащите. Има интерес, пробутва напред, няма интерес, остава назад, това е!
good job!
Thank you! Cheers!
I really like your blog.. it's interesting, funny and brings a lot of topic on the... point.. 👌👍 great 👍 job 🫡👋
Thank you so much 🙂!
Do you have plans,on updating information on navigation ? since lots of changes and advancements
No! I still use paper maps and smartphone with google maps for specific addresses.
Here are some tips that saves you time: ;)
Maybe you should just enjoy riding and make some simple but refreshing videos of that. The use of ur bike in everyday life… pavlo on tour
Thanks for the advice, but I never listen to anyone, so...
Good review... It would be bit too much time to edit or do content... I thought there are some other main job not only work on channels. :) But still - good review of daily life of content creator.
As I said I feel happy and cannot even dream for a better job.
Can you come to Seawolves Bike fest in the summer? It is close to the border with Bulgaria
I might! Tell me more about it.
@@motorcycleadventures Is the bigest MotoFest in Romania, 14-16 of June 2024 held on the beach of Venus tourist resort next to the town of Mangalia.
I might come.
hello Pavlin, I think your Top Choice bike will be The African Queen Africa twin 1100, am I right?
My top choice is in my garage!
@@motorcycleadventures no doubt, but if it was not so expensive you will buy one. Ithink you like the africa twin very much from what i saw in your videos.
Pavlin hi. I am planning to live in Bulgaria for couple of month and could extend to a year. Could you advise where to by motorcycle in Bulgaria? Or buy in Germany and bring to Bulgaria? Could you give an advise?
Buy it from Germany. It might be expensive but definitely in better condition.
@@motorcycleadventuresdo I have to pay fees bringing to Bulgaria, or since it's EU, not fees?
Sorry to waste another 30 seconds or so of your busy schedule... But honestly I wouldn't bother replying to everyone. Maybe review the comments, but not necessarily reply. Sometimes the people that leave a comment are doing so with the idea others will read it as well. Okay, times up 😉
If the person spends his free time on my channel I feel that as a minimum I have to reply.
@@motorcycleadventures Oh it's no problem... I use it as an excuse to have my favorite drink 😁🍺
Good excuse!
Your English is fine pavlin .at least now I don't get so mad when I watch your video's 😆😆🦘🇭🇲.
Good!
Pavlin, this is a great video! I know people think UA-cam work is easy and you make a lot of money, but this shows the real world.
Keep up the great work (and your English is superb!)
I appreciate that!
I just wanted to ask why you don't post videos from your travels as I never knew about your separate travel channel. Perhaps you should advertise it more here.. Anyways, I'm just taking my favourite drink and going to watch that second channel now;-)
I did it a couple of times, but it looks like it was not enough. Thanks for taking the time!
Honest video again, Pavlin. I wouldn't have guessed that your work so many hours per week for your channels. Hard work, indeed. Wishing you good luck and amazing trips in between. Günter/Nürnberg
Thank you very much!
Wow! Had no idea there was so much involved managing a channel like yours.
Well I appreciate your effort and the results….well done.
🍻🙏
Thanks, man!
Congratulations on making this youtube channel. I know myself how hard this is and I can tell you that I understand it perfectly. I wish you more success and I hope you will see all the places that you want to see in this world.
Thanks, man!
Havent been watching you since lockdown and remembered you today. Glad your passion has brought you were you are today and you are able to do this in your home country and at your own peace.
RIDE ON!!!! 🤙
Thanks for taking the time!
Pav, would you consider switching your bike to a BMW 650 or Kawasaki KLR 650?
No!
What a great breakdown of your process! Love it. Really been enjoying your videos. So thank you. Recently I found one of your videos where you reviewed 21 Brothers pocket bag. Do yo still use them? I just recently contacted them about the Pocket 2.0 for my 2024 tenre. Thank yo for the review
Awesome! Thank you! Yes, I still use the same saddlebag.
It's a busy life to keep the wheels turning. Good vid.
Thanks 👍!
Unbelievable I am amazed and how much time it takes and the effort to put these videos together!! thank you so much keep up the great work you are honest as the day is long, very informative I look forward to seeing your videos I am like many on your channel Moto, we just like your content no nonsense approach thanks again
Any time!
You’re such a great communicator, I love listening to you ❤
I appreciate that!
I'm watching you from Lithuania. Is that Lithuanian coat of arm flag on your wall?
Latvian if you mean the small on the motorex poster.
not made a trip for some time now,getting my head around doing another this year.admit i have nerves till the morning i leave then all is fine.
I understand!
you are a very organised person ... love your attitude and outlook
I am what I am, but thanks!
I would never do this. I love to collect ideas for locations, roads, themes for tours, without planning the tour as such. Sometimes I do a rough tour plan to get a feel on dimensions. And then comes the time where I think I have enough for a cool trip. That’s the time when I dig into planning the trip, as a solo long-range, leisure or two-bike leisure trip. Leisure Trip means a 3-5h trip a day (plan, actually 1-2h longer), long-range trip means a 8-9h day (again in effect 1-3h longer), Kilometers depending on avg speed by choice of roads. I make 5 plans, share with friends and as usual nobody wants to go - so I pick whatever at that moment is more interesting to me. Last year I had a friend joining on my UK and later again on my Morocco trip. For him that were experiences he never made before on a bike, although traveling a lot 20 years ago. I just take different routes than most, that’s my point, no App or Book will tell me how to go around.
I could imagine to be a Nomad for a short while, who knows, maybe longer. But that I can only do, when I’m too old for that, so it might not happen. I choose to spend every single day of my holidays on the road, on a trip, that brings me from one home to a very distant home, and I work from “home-office” in any way. My Kit gets shipped over insured, so my company can’t complain, and I avoid it being crashed or vibration destroyed or anything, even lost or stolen in countries prohibited to take it into anyways.
Thus my trips over 3 weeks (2 per year) are in the realms of 12tkm or more, typically.
I know, off-road is fun, but for me only for an afternoon or so. That’s what my EXC450 is for. All the long-range from North-Cape to the Sahara, Turkey to Scotland, Sagres to Estland is done on my Indian Bagger with no “on-top” luggage, all in the cases, they’re big enough, but low and narrow enough that they don’t bother me, not even on narrow, steep, uneven, italian, Portuguese village castle hill paths over white plaster, including turning around on that. After 95tkm, not once has the bike fallen, and no tarmac pass left over as unvinceable. I love to roll on those roads and stop in those tiny places, meeting the people there. That is what I’ll focus more in the future, go low, slow, and engage more, more local history, more local craft, more local people, more simple home-stays.
Thanks for sharing!
i did a lot of cycle touring when younger and loved it, including a year round europe and north africa, but reckon that if you do too much of anything, after a while it becomes the 'norm' and can lose it's attraction. work, family, mortgages etc can get in the way when older, but now i'm back to having more opportunity, doing it by motorbike instead, i find im enjoying the planning almost as much as the trips themselves, and this year i hope to do more. GL and keep the vids coming.
Thanks for sharing!
well, he's also getting revenue from it, also from patrons and channel members, and to keep getting it, he's motivated to make more videos.
@@ioanc2 your point being? - we all need to make a little money to live.
@@Bob-ts2tu oh, i replied to “that if you do too much of anything” and immediately thought you were referring to his youtube activity possibly causing burnout. But i misread. My bad, sorry.
@@ioanc2no problem. i remember on my year tour i woke up one day in jerusalem, and just thought 'time to go home', so cycled to tel-aviv that morning, got a cheap ticket in a bucket shop & jumped on a plane, and that night was back in the uk. One thing you find out when travelling for extended periods is that it's not all joy and freedom, you have really bad days when you get miserable, lonely & just dont see the point of it, and can be reduced to tears, but the next day when the sun is shining and you're on the road again it's forgotten, you just have to work through it. GL
Becouse you look like a nice example of man to follow in life not only on motorcicle-adventures I was always wandering what you do for a living, your personal life ( what kind of trade/job you have), to aford to go back from Ger to Bul and still finance your family and trips. Thx
Now you know. Thanks for taking the time!
@@motorcycleadventures your welkome, but Im still curious abouth that, whats your job
Never worked for anyone!
Good Pavlin it is what it is
Yes, it is what it is!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for taking the time!
Quit Whining!
If you see it this way there is nothing I can do for you!
hi pavlin the horse shoe on your door is upside down all the luck will fall out if it sits that way ,,aleast thats what they say in ireland 😁
It is correct, regarding the Bulgarian tradition.
didnt know that you learn something everyday eh @@motorcycleadventures
Absolutely!
Sounds like you have achieved a perfect balance. Life goals for alot of people, well done.
As I said I do not complain at all.
Hi Pavlin, thanks for sharing your insights. I do really appreciate UA-camrs like you, who do care about their Subscribers, which is a rare thing these days. Not to mention about YT Copycats who are lazy and steel other people’s hard work. Big RESPECT - what ever your Revenue will be, you earned every single Cent of it❤❤❤
Thanks fr the kind words!
Hey mate. It is a pleasure to watch your travel videos. They are very relaxing. There's no fuss, no dabbling, its a lot of information or it fits perfectly to what's happening during the trip . Please continue your work:)
Thanks for that!
That's one of the reasons I watch your films. You are true to your self.
Thank you!
I appreciate that!
thank you for your work, you are doing a good job
My pleasure!
