This is a human-powered adventure story not just because Daniel Troia traveled by bike…but because it was powered by the kindness of strangers.
Equipped with hidden camera glasses and a cardboard sign that said, "Ran out of food. Anything helps," Daniel spent seven months bicycling across the United States, listening to stories from the people who offered help. His travel documentary, “We Are All In This Together,” has garnered 15 awards at various film festivals and is being used to raise money for homeless shelters.
What did he learn from the experience? Find out today as Daniel recounts his adventure and the making of the film.
You’ll hear why he felt uncomfortable nearly the entire trip, the unexpected people he met who changed his life, and the biggest lessons he learned about adversity, grief, togetherness, and humanity as a whole. You’ll get advice on long-distance biking, dealing with confrontations, and more.
What have your travels taught you about humanity? I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope you’ll share them by sending me an audio message.
