Acceptance

Acceptance

Accepting my diagnosis has been the hardest thing to do. It’s all good keeping busy and doing things to escape it, but the fact is it’s always there, floating around my subconscious. I can only pretend it doesn’t exist for Read More ...

The Kidney Biopsy

I love how photos and videos can send you right back to when they were shot, even if the circumstances weren’t the best at the time. Shuffling through some old photo books with my mum recently, we found these three Read More ...

RESILIENCE Being the Best Version of Yourself We’re all faced with various challenges that require resilience every day. During this time, especially while we’re still very much ‘crawling’ out of our holes, wary of the world as we knew it Read More ...

It seemed like such a time-consuming faff at the time... but I miss the days of jumping off the bike, to attach the #gopro in a new position and seeing what the shots were like afterwards. Capturing the moments during my sports and travels have always been 'almost' as fun as actually doing the activities themselves. Going deep now... but something I've considered during this pandemic... and I may have subconsciously had this feeling before, but really thought about it recently... is... "how do I want to be remembered when I'm no longer here?!" I think somewhere deep down, that question has always motivated me to live life to the full and I suppose wanting to capture all the significant moments in my life has always been something I want to leave behind. Whether they're interesting, valuable or worth watching in the future or not... it keeps me busy now! So there you go... and here's a couple of shots facing backwards, on the road to Amsterdam... not right now... back in May 2019... 🤯 #fightingfailure #alportsyndrome #travel #adventure #fundraising #positivity #filmmaking #biketouring #bicycletouring #cycletouring #bikewander #worldbybike @biketouring #biketouringnews #travelbybike #adventuretravel #biketravel #adventurecycling #documentary #storytelling @youtube @gopro

The joy of mechanicals! I've never been too savvy when it comes to fixing gears... but luckily for me on this occasion, @rob_bowen_ from @aw.cycles was able to guide me through and sort them out while on a video call! I'd just left Rotterdam and started my journey North towards Amsterdam 😎 #fightingfailure #alportsyndrome #travel #adventure #fundraising #mechanical #malfunction #filmmaking #biketouring #bicycletouring #cycletouring #bikewander #worldbybike @biketouring #biketouringnews #travelbybike #adventuretravel #biketravel #adventurecycling #documentary #storytelling @youtube @gopro

Among many other valuable things I've learnt from living adventurously, 'trying' to lower my expectations is definitely in my top 5. To let go, let it flow and enjoy life as it unfolds can lead to the most genuine and rewarding experiences. It's easier said than done, when the reward is defined by the success of a preconceived reality. Maintaining a positive mental attitude when your expectations aren't met is difficult... sometimes it takes reminding myself to be grateful for the opportunities I've created in the first place. The awesome kindness of strangers can be a powerful reminder to be grateful! It's something I've missed throughout these lockdowns! A HUGE thank you to Corrie, Freek and @thomaston91 for bending over backwards to give me a bed for the night in Dordrecht! For my latest video, check the link in my bio @adventure.man.sam 🙂 #fightingfailure #adventure #travel #gratitude #biketouring

Pedalling into a new country feels awesome, especially when you find a CHICKEN VAN! New Video - Link in bio @adventure.man.sam #bikewander #biketouring #adventure

When you first start cycling long distances in a foreign country, whether you're still in Western civilisation or not, there's a mass of adrenaline pumping through your veins! So many times, I had to remind myself "it's just a bike ride!" And try to break the whole distance down into tiny chunks, instead of thinking 'how am I going to ride 10,000km?!' I was very reliant on using a bike computer and found it insanely stressful when it wouldn't work properly. I also put a huge amount of pressure on myself to get to places by the end of the day... 'just' because it's where I decided to try and get to that day... with no real reason! An important thing I learnt from this adventure... is to let go of the plan now and again... as tough as it is... things always have the potential to change and 'adapting' is like a super power when you get the hang of it!

The art of editing! I'll admit... this jump wasn't quite as scary as it appeared on my latest episode, but there was a slight moment when I wondered if @nazryth was going to recover from the spin... any #skydivers that have watched @jointheteem #fridayfreakout you'll know that some people don't recover from a fast spin! While @jani__ca just chilled and watched the mess unfold! This was a really fun jump and the only disappointment really was the huge storm that blew in moments after we landed! The aim was to do 5 jumps in each country, but in Belgium I only managed ONE! At least heading North into Amsterdam was a different story 😁 LINK IN BIO for the latest episode! #fightingfailure #skydiving #skydiver #adventure #travel #adventuretravel #actionsports @actionsportschannel #jointheteem @skydiving_ig_37ns @skydiving__world @skydivingmoments @skydiving.love @skydiving_world_ig_love @love_skydive_world #filmmaker #filmmaking #documentary #storytelling

One of my favourite moments of the adventure and it happened right at the beginning when I got to Brussels... was meeting this absolute legend. Our day-to-day lives don't always open up the opportunities to ask strangers these sorts of questions... we're usually too busy trying to get to somewhere, to do something or functioning far too externally to consider these sorts of thoughts. Miguel and I had already been talking for a while about the nature of freedom and what our real purpose in this world is... so when I asked this question, I knew he was going to say something awesome, but his lack of hesitation with this response blew me away. Balance, harmony, integrity and compassion is everything we need to be the best human beings we can be! Thanks Miguel for being so awesome!
