BIG ANNOUNCEMENT FROM WHEELPOSITIVE!
As a creator on YouTube, having a channel name representing your brand and content is essential. That is why I decided to change my channel from "WheelPositive." I thought it was a clever play on words that would attract viewers interested in bicycle touring. However, as my content has recently evolved, I realized that my channel name no longer fits my brand or the direction I want to take my channel.
My content has always been centered around bicycle travel. Still, as I gained more subscribers, I found that my audience was interested in more than cycling. They wanted to know more about the destinations I was visiting, the food I was eating, and the experiences I was having. As a result, I realized that my channel name needed to reflect this broader focus, so today, I changed it to "Buffer the Tourist."
"Buffer the Tourist" better represents my brand because it's not just about traveling; it's about traveling with intention and experiencing everything a destination offers.
I want to inspire my viewers to travel and encourage them to step outside their comfort zones and try new things, whether on a bicycle or not. "Buffer the Tourist" represents this message more accurately than WheelPositive.
Another reason I changed my channel name is that I wanted something more memorable and easier to spell. "WheelPositive," would always autocomplete as two words. Then after correcting it, the screen would be full of videos about car tires. Which made it harder for everyone to find my channel.
"Buffer the Tourist" is simple, easy to spell, and catchy, which makes it more accessible to a broader audience.
Overall, changing my channel name was a strategic decision that better aligns with my brand and my goals as a creator. It was not an easy decision, as I had built a loyal following under "WheelPositive." Still, the change will ultimately benefit my channel and my viewers.
Don’t worry, there will still be plenty of bicycle touring to come. It’s by far my favorite form of travel, and I have no plans to stop anytime soon.
Sincerely,
Buffer the Tourist

Oof. My trip to Colombia is off to a rocky start. I guess they didn’t like my take on Bogotá 🤷♂️

Hey there. I'm Buffer and welcome to my channel. For me, YouTube is a platform to express myself, share stories, and document my life.
My passion for adventure started over three decades ago on a surf trip to Baja. Something clicked on that journey—I discovered that the road, the ocean, and the unknown felt more like home than anywhere I'd ever been.
I’m here to share my passion with the World and build a community of like minded individuals along the way.
If you're dreaming of life beyond the 9-to-5, of trading routine for reinvention, or of retiring into something wilder, simpler, and more meaningful, you might feel right at home here.
Expect raw stories, remote places, travel tips and the occasional indulgence—because after all, I'm 55 and earned it.
Thanks for coming along for the ride. Make every day the trip of a lifetime.
