Matthew Galat | Adding Fuel to Life - Ja Yoe + Tips for Cycling in China

In Episode 005 of Bike Tour Adventures, I have the opportunity to meet and interview Matthew Galat, a lifestyle and touring YouTube Vlogger. Matt shares his story on how he decided to do a 15-20 year trike tour around the world and shares advice for other bike tourers on cycling in China.

Sometimes things just seem to work out too well. As was the case when I first met YouTuber Matthew Galat, founder of Ja Yoe Nation, a lifestyle and travel Vlogger. I came to know about his videos through a mutual friend of ours and after watching his Untold Story I decided to send him a message to see if he’d like to do a podcast episode. It turns out that he would be arriving in Phnom Penh just a few days later and he was happy to be on the show and even suggested we video it as well.

“I found out I love travel, and from that I built a tour that spanned the world and connected all points around the world from a hundred countries…”

Prior to bike touring, Matt was a successful businessman living in China. Through friendship with Ryan, an American English teacher, he learned that there is more to life than just making money, that he loves travel, and that by making the ultimate bucket list, he could change the path that he was on. This desire to see more of the world led Matt to planning a trip that would last for more than a decade and take him all around the world.

“Ryan taught me that it’s more important to live an experiential life than a financial successful or financially stable life.”

The decision to create a daily vlog documenting his travels and life experiences came about after seeing a blog by a guy named Christian Anderson. Christian was running a daily blog and trying to capture the essence of the story through an image. Matt wished he could see a moving picture and decided that vlogging would be the answer to that. This led to the birth of Ja Yoe Nation, through which Matt wants to empower people to add fuel to their lives…aka…Ja Yoe!

“The purpose of the trip is not only to live a fulfilling life, but to share the message with people, show em that the world isn’t as crazy and hostile as people think. I’m an American, so, you know a lot of people in America think the world is out to get them…”

After planning a world tour with Ryan, they eventually realized that they had different goals, and thus parted ways even before the tour began. Unfortunately, not too long after Matt started his tour, he was involved in an accident that forced him to temporarily quit the tour and get rehab before starting the Ja Yoe World Tour 2.0. This time, his friend Ryan decided to do 5 months with him, but unfortunately, Matt was destined to get injured again and need to temporarily cancel the tour in order to get treated. With the goal of climbing Mt. Everest fast approaching, Matt decided to wait until after the climb before starting the next iteration of the tour: Ja Yoe 3.0. Luckily, things have been going well and the tour is going strong. Matt keeps on following his route around the world, in what may look like a disorganized and confusing manner to passersby.

“The points on the map, a lot like a constellations in the sky, you know, you see a picture, and once you connect the lines, you can see my path, once you connect the dots where I want to accomplish each bucket list item.”

Unlike traditional bike tourists, Matt decided to buy a trike by HP Velotechnik, a German manufacturer of recumbent bikes. Matt like to think of his trike as a rolling tripod, allowing him to document his trip both while on and off the trike. He also swears by the comfort of riding a trike. Gone are the day of of sore neck, shoulders, wrists, back, and ass.

All the best on your tour. I...

Lovisa Tillgren | Solo Travel on a Bike

In this episode of the Bike Tour Adventures podcast I have the chance to connect with Lovisa Tillgren. Lovisa got her start to bike touring while backbacking through Guatemala when she decided it would be more fun on a bike. Selling most of her gear and strapping what was left onto the bike led to a multitude of adventures and challenges. When the Corona Pandemic shuttered international travel, she went back to Sweden to build a new touring rig and plan her next adventure. Having now travelled throughout Europe crossed N. America and cycled the length of Central America, Lovisa is back to figuring out the next stage of her adventure.

Kyle Henning | Cycling Low to High in Africa

In this episode of the Bike Tour Adventures podcast, Kyle Henning and I speak about his first experience bike touring, which, surprisingly, was from the lowest point to the highest point in Africa. We also talk about some of the various volunteer programs that Americans can work in such as Americorps and the Peace Corps, what it's like to live in Ethiopia for 2 years and really dive into cycling through the region he worked. Ten years after his first adventure, Kyle wrote a book called, "From Afar: One man's human-powered adventure from the lowest point on the African continent to the summit of its highest mountain." All proceeds from sales of the book are going to be split between two charitable organizations: one in the USA and one in Ethiopia where he used to live. More recently, Kyle and a friend have started a long-term project that they call the Low to High Challenge, with the goal of visiting all the islands in the world with a mountain of 3000 metres or higher and riding from the lowest point on the island and getting all the way to the summit of the highest point.

In this episode of the Bike Tour Adventures podcast I have the chance to speak with Marc and Heather, creators and directors of the 8 Hours of Hurtin' in Haliburton gravel bike race. I first got to know Marc a few years back when I first heard about the race. Unfortunately, at the time I missed the registration and couldn't participate. Then Covid came and made everything harder yet. Finally after 3 years of delays, I had the chance to participate and thought it would be great to have them on the show to share about their passion project and their own cycling journeys.

Cory Ostertag | Bikepack Racing in Canada

In this episode of the Bike Tour Adventures podcast I have the chance to catch up with Cory Ostertag. As a life-long cyclist, Cory has run the gamut. From mountain biking to Cat 2 road bike racing, it was inevitable that Cory would at some point get involved in bikepack racing. Although new to the sport, Cory has done exceptionally well over the past two seasons, finishing 2nd in the 2021 iteration of the BC Epic, and taking the overall wins in 2022 riding the Buckshot and BC Epic and setting an impressive new FKT on the Log Drivers Waltz. I'm thrilled to learn more about him and hear his story.To support the Bike Tour Adventures podcast, follow the links below:https://www.patreon.com/bikepackadventures orhttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/bikepackadventures Join the RideWithGPS Bikepack Adventures ClubFind them at:INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/full_beans/142 Find me at…WEBSITE: http://www.biketouradventures.com YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPQl_pNcMZA-hHckhVrpmaw FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/biketouradventures/ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/bike_tour_adventures/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/BikeTourAdv ITUNES: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bike-tour-adventures/id1464406852 Show SponsorsThe Bike Tour Adventures podcast is incredibly lucky to have some amazing corporate sponsors.

In this episode of the Bike Tour Adventures podcast I'm recording a Ridecast on my ITT of the Canadian Shield 1000. I created this route as a means of showcasing some of the best riding in the Laurentian Mountains and to introduce a MTB bikepacking route to the region, incorporating as much single-track and double-track riding as possible into a long-distance bikepacking route.
