Chains & Chords - Cycling Around the World with our Guitar! We are Louisa & Tobi, a couple from Germany. To travel the world has been a long-time dream of ours, so we decided to make it come true - and what better way to do so, than by bicycle? Find out what motivates, challenges and drives us, and what advice we would give others, in this new video! This is the first video on our channel that wasn't actually filmed & edited by us, but rather by our friend and talented filmmaker @RobertWedderburn, whom we briefly got to meet in Cuenca, Ecuador. Thanks for the hospitality and great documentary, Robert & Sandy! :) And, of course, thank you to our Patrons: Lewis & Marilyn Farmer, Sophia Hamelbeck, Derek Brotherton, Mark Messer, Daniel Stewart, Tim and Kim Nelson, Galen Han, Mikkel Ørstedholm, SnowGirl, AMB Weather, Davis Ja, Philip Caldwell, Tim Lester, Martin Volk, Christopher T., Rob Talley, Cliff MacArthur, Afableco, Alexander Kuhn-Régnier, Robb Wagner, Chuck Pruitt, Pavel D., Tapio Keihänen, Richard Langston, Mikethebike Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chainsandchords Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chainsandchords/ Check out our Website: https://www.chainsandchords.com/ Our Partners: Clothing: Minus33 Merino Wool - Promo Code: CHAINSCHORDS10 https://www.minus33.com/ Helmets: OutdoorMaster - Promo Code: Chains10 https://outdoormaster.com/products/mips-bike-helmet-gem?ref=SyCeE9xVf7kcnl&utm_medium=inhouse&utm_source=affiliate

Around the World with Bikes & Guitars! Distance cycled in Austria: 638 km Time spent in Austria: 22 days As we are sitting here in Zadar, Croatia and are uploading our first travel video, the first month and first 1000 kms of our journey are already behind us. It's absolutely crazy how quickly time passes and all the things we have already experienced. We can't wait to see what the future brings and what other adventures, challenges and beautiful moments are to come. Cycling through Austria was great fun and gently eased us into our world bicycle tour. The bike paths were great, people were friendly and landscape was spectacular. We hope you enjoy our first travel video and would love to get some feedback.

Around the World with Bikes & Guitars! Distance cycled in Montenegro: 155 km Time spent in Montenegro: 3 days „Montenegro: Sea and Heights“ - that’s what a sign at the border read… and what should we say? We can totally agree with that description. From the Bay of Kotor we ascended up 25 switchbacks to about 1000 meters - and the view was just amazing! We then spent a night in Podgorica, with our super nice Couchsurfing host. Check out our other travel videos if you haven't seen them already.

Around the World with Bikes & Guitars! Distance cycled in Albania: 415 km Time spent in Albania: 9 days Cycling through Albania really sometimes felt like traveling back in time. Subsistence farming, horses and donkeys pulling carts, and simple, friendly people really made Albania feel very different to the more Central European countries we’d been to before. Albania seems to us like a land of opposites. From “rags-to-riches”, everything can be found in rural and modern Albania. We often saw these two sides clashing together, making our experience very unique and interesting. We hope you enjoy our video and can get an idea of what we experienced during our time there.

Around the World with Bikes & Guitars! Distance cycled in Greece (so far): 879 km Time spent in Greece (shown in film): 22 days UPDATE 02.11.21: The "Greece" instalment of our "Cycling the World - Travel Series" has won the "Best Short Documentary" category at the Best Istanbul Film Festival! https://istanbulff.com/ Even though we had some ups-and-downs throughout our journey in Greece, we have been genuinely overwhelmed by the kindness of the locals and the Greek hospitality. We not only had some great adventures cycling the country but also spent a week working on a horse farm on the island of Evia. We are currently (until the end of October 2021) still in Greece and will stay at Tobi's dad's place in the meantime. We hope you enjoy our video and experience our crazy time there with us.

Around the World with Bikes & Guitars! Distance cycled in Greece (total): 1332 km Time spent in Greece (total): 70 days After spending six weeks at Tobi's dad's place in Artemida it was time again for us to continue our journey towards Turkey and around the world. Unfortunately, however, our excitement of being back on the road was overshadowed by some tragic news. Nevertheless, we tried to make the most of our remaining time in Greece and even made some new friends along the way!

Around the World with Bikes & Guitar! Distance cycled in Turkey (shown in film): 542 km Time spent in Turkey (shown in film): 13 days After spontaneously meeting Marlene & Lukas in Alexandroupoli, Greece, just before the border, we quickly realized we would be heading the same direction and decided to continue cycling together through Turkey. For the first time on our journey so far, we left the European continent and crossed into Asia, experiencing many new things! Friendly and hospitable people, buzzing cities and chaotic bus rides would await us on our transcontinental adventure...
