A good starting point for any traveler is hopping on Expedia and buying a plane ticket, or renting a car. I never imagined traveling across countries (plural, there) by bicycle (yes, two pedals and an uncomfortable seat) until I read this inspiring article of a young man who was doing exactly that.
A group of college students reporting in Urbino, Italy wrote this article about Keiichi Iwasaki, a Japanese man who was traveling around the world pedaling as fast as his little legs would carry him.
I can’t help but be inspired by Keiichi. His story puts into perspective how you don’t need a lot of money to see the world and be able to learn from it. In this case, all you need is a little stamina and a bike.
What an interesting way to really connect with the Earth, and to become a part of it. That is exactly what I long to do. Become a part of the Earth instead of being just an observer.
I was so impressed with this article, I had to share!
“By using a bike, I can feel a lot more things than if I used an airplane.” – Keiichi
