he's on a global motorcycle tour. generally speaking if you want to see the whole world and not just tourist traps, you're gonna do it by bicycle, motorcycle, or by hiking and taking the bus. the theme of his channel is to show things in the world most people miss because they're taking curated/manicured forays into the world catered to their pre-existing outlooks on other people and places

on some level, with the era he was doing this world tour in, and the specifics of what he was seeking to show the world about how we're all just people and the states that rule us are arbitrary, it was bound to happen eventually
