    Beste Floor. In heb onwijs veel respect voor je. Zo jong en zo zelfstandig de wereld verkennen. Solo; je inspireert me. Zelf ben ik jaren met de motor solo door Europa en Noorwegen getrokken. Nu mijn reismotor verkocht is, ga ook ik hiken. Begin met de Malerweg begin volgend jaar en later de TMB om in het najaar 10 dagen de Jotunheimen in Noorwegen te verkennen. Die laatste kan ik je aanraden. Stay save en enjoy your life.

    Your narrative (and comedy) are always uplifting. But this video was fantastic in every way. It seems weird that I see some very similar vegetation(heather, ferns, thistle, poplars, same wildflowers) in your film that I am familiar with at much higher elevations in the North Cascades. Anyway: brilliant hiking and film making. Thank you.

      Ah damn, I wanted to add that story to the very end of the video but forgot! I didn't at first, couldn't find him on the internet, so I took the fannypack all the way to the end of the trail with me and dropped it off at the police station at Portree. When I got on the bus from Portree to Glasgow, I heard some people talking two rows behind me, so I looked back, and... Recognized the face on the passport!!!! What are the odds, it turned out to really be him, véry funny moment on the bus, haha! So I told him I dropped it off at Portree and he eventually got it back. Alls well that ends well!

      I have very small ears, so got mine made to size at my local hearing center. These are especially made for sleeping, so they don't stick out as much as others! If you don't want to spend a lot of money on earplugs, I find the ones made out of wax to be comfortable too. These you can just get at your local pharmacy.
