Like many people, I love to travel and change my environment every now and then. Traveling allows a very concentrated intake of experiences and experience is the basis of knowledge. Also, like many, I have always loved bicycles, especially the way they help me cover distances, simply. It was only a matter of time before I combined these two passions into one. In 2012, I took my first real trip far from home, cycling across Ireland. But it wasn't until 2021 that I launched this channel with the concept "Vlady Was Here" to share my bike journey along the TransAmerica Trail (2022). The adventure continues and so does my passion for storytelling.

About Vlady.
Pedal traveler, urban commuter, long-time bicycle activist (Critical Mass) and - above all - an Italian multidisciplinary visual artist based in Sweden. Knowledge sharing is caring: I want to be of help or inspiration, as I have been helped and inspired by others.

"We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us"
