Solo Summer Overnighter | Testing, Failing, Learning
With the summer solstice approaching, it was time for my next solo bikepacking overnighter. Despite feeling stressed about taking time off with our upcoming summer-long departure and being behind packing, I decided to go for it. I added a little twist to the adventure this time, but it didn’t bring the experience I was planning for!

My Connection to Water | Bikepacking the island of Formentera
Просмотров 2,2 тыс.Месяц назад
For years, I set aside my interest in water sports as my focus shifted entirely to cycling. But as with anything you dearly love and crave, neglecting it for too long starts to weigh on you. So, I decided to turn things around and go on a solo bike trip to the island of Formentera, hoping to reconnect with my water-loving instinct. Follow me on Instagram: belletoscan And check out...
Solo Spring Overnighter | In Search of Balance
Просмотров 24 тыс.3 месяца назад
I often find myself caught between two extremes: spending excessive time either outdoors or indoors. Just as easily as I spend hours riding my bike, I can become completely immersed in screen time work for days on end, which isn't exactly the healthiest habit. That's why earlier this year-knowing I’d be dealing with longer periods indoors-I made a promise to myself: to go on a solo bike ride ev...
Solo Winter Overnighter | My first experience with snow
Просмотров 7 тыс.5 месяцев назад
After my thrilling first solo overnighter experience in Kyrgyzstan, I knew this couldn’t be a one-off. For 2024 I've set the goal to spend more time adventuring on my own and a lovely way of doing so, I thought, is a per-season bikepacking overnighter. I had never cycled in the snow before and I definitely felt a little anxious about the journey, but I prepared in the best way that I could and ...

My First Solo Overnighter

I've been traveling by bike for 6 years already but have never once spent the night camping alone. During our time in Kyrgyzstan, I found myself with a few days free while Tristan was racing in the Silk Road Mountain Race. So, I decided it was finally time to cross that barrier and embark on my first-ever overnighter. In this video, I invite you along on my bikepacking escape into the hills beh...
Confessions from the Baja Divide
Просмотров 11 тыс.Год назад
On a quest to ride the Baja Divide as a group, I was joining the trip with a fear in mind that I didn't want to confess out loud to the rest. This made me realize that most likely everyone else was joining the adventure with their own concerns or personal goals, so I asked them to privately confess them to the camera before summarizing a chapter of the trip. Join us on our journey through Baja ...
Cycling the Dolomites | My brother's first bikepacking trip

My brother wanted to join us on a bikepacking trip to the Dolomites in Italy. The problem was that he didn't really cycle and was definitely not in good shape. The solution? We designed a nice route and decided to ride it on e-bikes! Special thanks to Tout Terrain for providing us with 3 SKANE trekking e-bikes and to Ortlieb, for gearing us all up for the trip. For more inspiration, and to supp...

Cycling Asturias: Re-discovering home 2020 has been no-fun for everyone. Since borders closed up and travel became a complication, we decided to spend all this time home, working on other projects. We had never considered cycling in Spain, my home country, so it was the year to give it a go. I realized that one can also find joy and beauty in their own "backyards". I hope you enjoy this new vid...

Bug spray or español smoke for 🦟 mosquitos... I use off 24hrs lotion
Thank you Bella, enjoyed your video... Missed you and pray all is well.. Thanks😊❤❤❤
First of of all I’m afraid of how much energy was spent for all the footage, all of those camera set ups, focusing etc. Great job! And very, as you said, tranquilizing vibes. I enjoyed, thanks a lot! P.S. F**k the rules, tent required, anywhere. At least, hammock with a net.
Muy bien narrado, grabado y editado, enhorabuena Belén…una lástima los mosquitos que no te dejaron disfrutar de ese rincón increíble 🙄
Many thanks Bella for sharing your ups and downs and errors. I’m glad I’m not the only one who struggles to get out there but once you have and done it the reward is worth it. ❤
Finally inner peace ✌️ Solo ride is the best 🚲 🌊
An unexpected buckwheat cameo appearance 🤣
Still from you know where! 😅
Muy bonito el video, lograstes el objetivo, no como uno planea pero esa es la aventura de lo inesperado, no es facil, pero al final la recompensa es grande y ahi esta la satisfaccion. felicitaciones no te rindas. saludos
What a really nice video, so relaxing, good narration and background music. I shall look out for your further adventures. Hope you manage to avoid the bitety insects next time .
Thank you Bella. Always a lovely and warm narrative and excellent imagery. This isn’t a failure at all. It makes sound sense to adapt to the circumstances when things change. Nothing is written in stone Well done and I look forward to seeing more from you both very soon. Anthony
Very enjoyable! Sorry to see that you had to cancel your overnighter in the end! :-(
You have managed to turn a relatively modest objective into something so thoughtful and profound. I really really enjoyed this video!
You're braver than I. I was a bit jealous of that swim :) Nice adventure and it's often the good memories that stick. Next time maybe a bivy tent/bug bivy is a good compromise to safe on weight and packing volume but still be protected from the elements/bugs? Good filming by the way.
Another great video Belén, it's always such a joy to watch them 🚲⛺🙂👍
En esta ruta vas sola lo digo por el curro de preparación al grabar, es muy buen reportaje. Me encantas vuestros videos muy bien explicados, me encanta ver heroínas en bici y sin miedo es de aplaudir 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 para octubre quiero recorrer la sierra de Cazorla desde Granada pasando por el desierto de Gorafe y dar la vuelta por la Sierra de Cazorla y tus videos me animan, Gracias de ❤
Que guay! Me encanta la zona de Cazorla, ¡que la disfrutes mucho! Y si, estoy totalmente sola así que el trabajo es mucho mayor porque tienes que ir yendo y viniendo con el trípode. ¡Pero yo me lo paso muy bien! ☺️
Malditos mosquitos ☹️☹️, con la buena pinta que tenía ese rinconcito solitario. 👏👏
¿Verdad? Nada, nada, a la próxima me llevo la red de la tienda de campaña!
Your videos have such a calming effect. The perfect content to watch after a hectic day at work. Thank you.
Ohhh, thanks a lot! I love it that even though I have to push a bike or run away from a bunch of mosquitoes, it still comes out calm! Hahaha.
@@BelleToscan mosquitoes love me. I swear every time I set foot outside during summer in Australia, it’s like giving a blood transfusion. 😂
I don't recall mossies biting through clothing before I came to live in Spain. Here they often bite me through lycra. I guess in the circumstances you encountered it needs to be Deet-all-over to repel the critters! A great video Belén. Thank you.
Yeah… The Tiger mosquitoes came to Spain about a decade ago and they bite through textile very easily! I just thought that a layer of wool and another one of cotton would be enough but… definitely not! It looks like they can only not get through the thick jeans. Quite vicious!
Pero Belén, ¿a quién se le ocurre dormir en la playa en verano?, jejejeje. Suele estar infestada de mosquitos, y si además, como es mi caso, eres propenso a sus picaduras y no hay viento la cosa se torna en un infierno. Buen vídeo, como siempre. Saludos desde la terreta.
Jajaja, ¡pues a mí! Pero contaba con esas posibilidad, solo que no pensé que serían capaces de picarme a través de DOS capas de textil: el pijama de lana y la funda de algodón. ¡Unas fieras! Pero nada, nada. A la siguiente me cojo la red de la tienda de campaña por lo menos.
Vivaquear en un pico de una montaña bien porque no hay mosquitos, pero en zonas boscosas y de mar... Tienda si o si. Aunque no esté permitido... Ya le explicaré al guardia que por mi seguridad es necesario poner una tienda.
Think it was tough of you to leave the campsite and cycle home in the middle of the night.A well deserved coffee👍 Your videos are so clear in every aspect- very nice!
Thanks a lot! I was feeling very frustrated and kinda alarmed as I didn’t bring my long lights, so I had to cycle only with the phone light and it was super bumpy but.. Eventually I got the hang of it and calmed down. Even enjoyed the peacefullness of night riding.
Oh those damn freaking mosquitoes. They are a issue on almost every camping trip I do. Mine are still itching after 4 weeks. But I think you are so brave to do this kind of trips. And you make a beautiful story out of it! X
Thanks a lot! They looooooove me too! And I was the only thing they could feast on that evening, hahaha. But still, I guess it was naive of me to think I could camp without a tent. I see so many people doing it but there’s so many things that could go wrong”wrong”. I’ve concluded I’d rather bring my tent! 😀
@@BelleToscan haha 😆 Or sleep next to small fire, the smoke will keep them away. But guess that is not allowed in dry summer season.
Mosquitos 🦟😢 I didn’t even think of that. Keep the videos coming when you can - they’re great!
I did think about them! But not the fact that they could bite through my pijamas AND liner at the same time. I did think it would be fresher though, so I was also counting on sleeping inside the sleeping bag fully. Honestly, I think that a few hundred meters more inland I would have been fine but… it wasn’t worth setting everything up again to try. The beaches can be deceiving!
Hey Belle, how are you? I've been doing my bikepacking trips for a while now, but I always find myself with a little bout of anxiety before I venture out on the bike. Do you feel the same? How do you deal with such a situation?
Hi there! I have exactly the same before I start a trip! And as soon as I'm on the road, it cools down and practically disappears until the evening. It's mostly the uncertainty and excitement, I'd say. The strong change you know is approaching... But I never give it much importance and just allow my rational thinking to direct. =)
This was a beautiful watch, Belén! You have a knack for storytelling, it was very captivating. The sunrise shots with you biking past looked beautiful. Can't wait to see you explore the underwater world more in the future! :)
Everything about this video is absolutely stunning. ❤️ Thank you
Beautiful cinematography ❤️ how did you deal with charging the batteries?
We combined camping with staying at hotels. The days we camped, we made sure to have breakfast or lunch at a restaurant to charge up a bit. But overall, we could cycle for 1.5 days with a battery.
Precioso vídeo, tengo claro que en cuanto pase la temporada alta iré a conocer Formentera… Enhorabuena por el vídeo!
¡Muchas gracias! Te lo recomiendo totalmente. Estuve a principios de mayo y estaba todo super tranquilo. =)
beautiful and inspiring video! thanks for sharing!
Such a soothing video! I couldn't take my eyes off the scenery. I really like it the way you express your attitude towards the nature via your frames.
Wow. So beautiful! I can feel your joy and your passion - and your words and pictures are just impressive ❤
Thanks Wiebke, I appreciate your comment of support! Can’t wait to see what you’ll create from your trip!
Hermoso y refrescante. ¡Gracias por descubrirnos estas maravillas!
Beautiful video Belén! Professionaly filmed and photographed and ofcourse the discovery of your youth-feelings: to realise them and discover them,bravely! We will see more of you and so not only by bike i presume😉
Belén , me ha encantado !!👏🏻👏🏻😍 Precioso ! Muchas gracias.
Gracias Belén, por revelarnos tu conexión con el agua y el placer de desplazarte con la bici, puedo constatar que Formenterra conserva su belleza.
Formentera es toda una joyita. ¡Y no tenía ni idea! Muchas gracias por tu apoyo. ☺️
Great video, very enjoyable thankyou.
Me encanta BELÉN, X como has hechoi el video . como describes todo, " como se nota lo q disfrutas" y tu amor a la naturaleza. Y no te falta , la aportación de tus psdres, q te iniciaron en familia , es amor a la creación. ENHORA BUENA X TODO. ❤. LO PASO 😊
¡Muchas gracias Pilar! La verdad es que volqué todo mi corazón con este vídeo. ☺️
I enjoy watching your videos so much! It really calms me down and makes me feel comfortable and relaxed! Thanks for sharing this, I can feel what the water means to you and how important this video is for you. 😊
It means a lot more than I actually thought it did. Thank you for your nice words!
Congratulation Belen! . I can see your happiness doing what you really like. You can inspired young people to follow their dreams. ❤
Muchas gracias, Amparo! Siempre siguiendo ese presentimiento y felicidad.
Great, positive story and also you telling it visually was inspiring! Love the shot at 16:05 ❤
Thanks a lot! I was also in shock with that shot once I checked the camera after the diving session. So lucky! I'm happy I could capture it as I saw it and bring you along. =)
Yes that shot is absolutely amazing. Beautiful video ❤
Thanks for a lovely video. I too, have an affinity for water.
Great video. Thanks 👍😀
I really enjoyed watching this one! It’s nice to hear that you were able to fulfill a childhood dream in your own way. So excited to see where it takes you!🥰
Thank you! Really put a lot of introspection and love on this one. Hoping to go scuba diving next! Sending love!
Belén, el vídeo entero rebosa calidad, arte y belleza , pero sin duda me quedo con el amanecer en 12:46 y muy especialmente la magia del plano en 16:04. Mi más sincera enhorabuena a ambos.
Muchas gracias! El minuto 16 fue espectacular, sobre todo porque yo iba nadando y realmente no sabía lo que la cámara estaría grabando. Al salir del agua y ver el vídeo… Wow! Estaba toda emocionada! Mucho queda por aprender todavía de todas formas, porque grabar bajo el agua es mucho más complicado. =)
Wow, Belen! I love so much your way to produce videos with Tristan, who I follow since time ( like You ). Now I think You did Your best one! I have a past like technical diving instructor and I'm a bikepacker too: nothing in comparison with Yours epic journeys, but enough for me. I really find emotions watching Your productions and suggestions! I wrote a book, which explores sea, bike packing and Buddhism, philosophy I practice since over than 14 years. Unfortunately, it is only in Italian, at the moment, and I can tell, proudly, it is a success. I really want to say thank You both to be so inspiring with Your messages! I hope soon to meet You both! A hug from Italy!
Wow Stefano, thanks for sharing your story. And so cool you are a diving instructor! I’m planning on getting my Open Water PADI in October as a next step. Would love to do some cycling and scuba diving next! Wishing you a lot of luck with the book. Hopefully we’ll get to see it in English one day?
@@BelleToscan I wish You the best discover of the underwater World, feeling the emotion to breath underwater! About the English translation of my book, I'm thinking' 'bout it: it would be so nice to expand the possibility to let people dive in that adventure! Thnx again for Your precious time!
Beautiful Belen ✨
Where next? ;)
Great 👍
😱😱 It is impossible not to enjoy a moment to sit and watch a video like this. From the filming to the photography, with an impeccable narrative about the love for two such beautiful activities as swimming/diving and cycling. Congratulations on another audiovisual spectacle here on the platform. Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience of yours.
Thanks a lot for the supportive words, really appreciate them! I put a lot of love on this one. ☺️
Amo bucear y me encantó la idea de ir en bici a hacerlo. Ojalá puedas sumergirte más en ello y gracias por el trabajo en compartirlo.
¡Es mi objetivo! Siempre he querido bucear pero nunca me he puesto a sacarme el título porque consideraba el Mediterráneo aburrido para ello. ¡Pero por algún lado hay que empezar! Si todo va bien, en unos meses hago el curso y ojalá ponerlo en práctica decentemente el año que viene.
Beautifully filmed and narrated 👏
These videos are phenomenal! I'm doing my first solo bikepacking trip tomorrow and watching these are reassuring that it's not that difficult
Hope it all went well!
