I know what a spanner is after living in England for two years. I love your accent. Brings back good memories of my time there. I wish we had pubs in America like the ones in the UK. We always lived beside or across from one. Loved the fun drinks we don't have here. I enjoy your taking us along for your journey. It inspires me to get out on my trike.

Do you miss your travel companion from your trip to Europe? And what do you think—is it better to travel alone or with a friend?

So excited to follow your journey! The Soča Valley is incredible, and the views are spectacular throughout the Western Balkans. Great idea planning to hike. Be sure to make time to chat with the locals, too. The warmest and most hospitable people I've ever met.

Have so much fun! I'm glad you are giving the drones a vacation. Too much hassle for this trip.

I had some cold morning with dew even in summer in Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro. Croatia and Albania is either dry and hot or humid and hot, depends on how close to the coast you are.<br>I did a fair bit of car touring in the Balkans (with some real shitboxes), mostly used park4night app for camp spots or camping grounds, so it will be really great to see more off road perspective into the region.<br>I wish you a great trip mate.

So excited to see your next adventure! Have a great trip! Your videos are the golden standard, and you are an inspiration. Thank you Mat :) I recently got a Trek FX sport AL 3 and getting used to it, riding the roads of eastern Finland. I'm dreaming of riding my bike through Finland, into Norway and essentially to the shores of the Arctic Ocean. - Kalle from Finland
