63: Biking Across America. Ran Out of Food. Anything Helps

*Episode of the Year Candidate* Join host Phil in this awesome episode as he engages in a riveting conversation with the remarkable and award-winning Daniel Troia, also known as @The_Travelin_dude, recounting his extraordinary cycling adventures across the United States and Europe. In the spotlight is the documentary "We Are All In This Together," a chronicle of Troia's cycling journey though the USA where he traveled with no food and no money in search for human connection. The film intimately captures Troia's encounters with individuals who, despite facing significant adversity, generously offer their support. In the span of 7,000 miles and traversing 19 states, Troia battles a tornado in Kansas, conquers the Great Basin Desert, ascends to 11,000 feet in Montana, and traverses the challenging terrains of the Sierras, Rockies, and Appalachian Mountain ranges. Phil and Daniel explore the poignant theme of the documentary: the idea that those confronting adversity often possess an unparalleled capacity for kindness. Troia's solo expedition becomes a powerful narrative, reminding us that amidst the overwhelming challenges in the world, the one aspect we can control is how we treat one another. But the adventure doesn't end there. Troia shares insights into his "Two Wheels to Freedom" journey, a cycling odyssey through the scenic landscapes of Tuscany, the majestic Swiss Alps, the blue rivers of Austria, the medieval castles of Germany, culminating in the bicycle capital of the world – Amsterdam. The film unveils the thrilling elements of massive mountain passes, stealth camping, hitchhiking, and exhilarating downhill rides. Tune in to this episode for a riveting conversation about the transformative power of cycling, the beauty of connecting with people along the way, and the freedom found on two wheels. Whether facing tornadoes or navigating the enchanting landscapes of Europe, Daniel Troia's adventures remind us that, indeed, we are all in this together.
