Xingning fortune teller _ Xingning fortune teller

The author Yusuke Ishida used to be an office worker with a stable job. But I have had this idea since I was a child ~ "Since I was born in this world, I should have a good look".

Since middle school, the author has been traveling by bike, first cycling around Feng Jingen, and then cycling around Japan for a week. This "two-legged" travel style brought him great satisfaction. However, when I was a teenager, an old woman who was said to be very effective in fortune-telling said that she would "live a happy life, but this life has no opportunities for excitement and adventure", which seemed destined for his life, but it was not the life he expected "the world is so big, I want to see it".

Perhaps in order to fight against his fate, at the age of 26, he resolutely quit his stable job and started his bicycle trip around the world.

He once drifted alone on the Yukon River in Canada, bathed in the cold river near the polar circle and looked up at the gorgeous aurora. Enjoy the sunrise and sunset in Monument Valley, the sacred place of Wahoo people in Indiana, Arizona, USA; He once climbed the most mysterious and greatest Tikal temple in Maya, overlooking the vast virgin jungle of Guatemala at his feet. He waited for all the tourists to disperse, escaped the patrol security, and enjoyed the mysterious wonders of the Great Pyramid of Egypt alone in the moonlight on a full moon night. ...

When I set foot on my journey, I plan to travel around the world in more than two years. Unexpectedly, this trip took seven years. In these seven years, he experienced the fear of being attacked, the grief of his friend's death, the gathering and parting on the journey, countless happy moments and beautiful touches. In order to fulfill his dream of traveling around the world, he kept riding a bicycle, and what inspired him inside was the simple and beautiful happiness of "it's good to be alive".

I envy those who have just left.
