Awesome! Will watch those over the weekend.
Have had the same plan since 4 years ... even built a bike for that purpose. Sadly didn't put the plan into action yet. But 2017 is still young :)
Would be great if you could go into more detail regarding your trip, if you don't mind. PM would work as well if you want:
How much money did you actually spend and how much did you plan on spending?
How much time did you spend on the road (minus breaks/city exploration)?
Average km/day?
What did you bring with you? What was most important/least needed?
Which areas can be avoided? What do you need to see?
Any great routes to recommend?
Ditch camping equipment if you can find enough hosts to stay with?
Any general advice?Cheers
Tom

Hey guys! I somewhat recently completed a solo 3200km / 2000 mile tour from Vancouver, Canada to San Diego, California down the US West Coast beginning at the start of October til the end of November. I spent $13 total on accommodation - either staying with friends from the internet / Strava, wild camping, finding hosts on warmshowers.org or with complete strangers I met in the street.
Part of the trip was documenting it all... which ended up with me having over 600GB of GoPro 5 footage totalling over 40 hours of raw clips. I've been slowly working my way through it all and have been editing together a vlog for each day from when I wake up til when I go to sleep.
I didn't want to post anything pre-emptively, but I've now finished off the first 20 (out of about 55 to do!) so here's number 20... Be sure to check out the others if you're interested in exactly how unpredictable and fun a massive foreign solo bike tour can be!
