Features: A tough journey, an invaluable spiritual awakening. Mag Azibed, a middle-class middle-aged woman, an unhealthy single mother, an outgoing, easy-to-get-along-with, and expressive woman. She used a unique way—cycling alone around the world—to make fun of her age and single status. Her humor and disregard for authority made her spiritual growth even more powerful. An exhilarating and unconventional spiritual journey that allowed her soul to pierce through loneliness, take a deep breath in the boundless nature, and let her restless, dry heart be nourished by pure dew! A single mother who is not in good health, celebrated her 50th birthday in her unique way—by traveling around the world by bicycle. She cycled through Russia, the Czech Republic, Corsica, Turkey, Cyprus, Rhodes, New Zealand, and the island of Sumatra in the Gulf of Thailand. Cycling travel allows you to experience the freedom and novelty of life like Robinson Crusoe, like a perfect, magical block of pure gold, always enriching yourself. The outside world is our best teacher. The insights the world brings have opened up in his heart. Through solo travel, she learned these life lessons and understood how struggle and hardship make life rich and colorful. She saw herself gradually grow out of the despair of isolation, establishing a peaceful connection with the earth beneath her feet and the love around her. She felt as if she had embarked on a spiritual journey. Just like the song she sang during her journey, "I traveled the world to find you." Despite the shattered hope, she continued to move forward, only to reach the place we had promised to meet; I believe that one day I will see you, with the same bright smile on your face—you are my world.
