From Amsterdam to China by bike [Full Movie]

Video Description

The full journey of a lifetime — cycling all the way from Amsterdam to China by bike! This is the full documentary of my solo outdoor adventure across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, traveling on the Silk Road like Marco Polo, through breathtaking nature, cities from ancient history, remote villages, and beautiful mountains. But the core of the travel was the people, seeing the anthropology and sociology of the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia. I lived on the road with my tent, sleeping in the houses of locals, solo travelling, meeting and reporting their incredible stories. Whether you're passionate about bikepacking, interested in cross-continental travel, or just love cycling documentaries, this film will take you deep into the heart of one of the world’s most incredible overland routes and bike travels. From the Danube River to the Pamir Highway, through Persian deserts, Turkish lakes, and Central Asian mountains of 5,000 meters! Overlanding Europe, overlandng Iran, overlnding Asia. Such a great outdoo expirience, a stunning travel by bicycle. 🫶 Support this project and help me tell more untold stories: coff.ee/monterojohoodboy Directed by Dario Crippa, Davide Lupini, Vera Konst.
