Twenty Thousand Miles to See a Tree

A fascinating travel story that takes you on one woman's eight-year journey as she explores different destinations, cultures, religions, and finally her own inner transformation.This interview-style book answers practical questions for all adventure seekers, but then goes on to probes deeper as Cindie explains why she left her life as a global nomad to settle down in the Himalayan foothills. Cindie's epic cycling quest begins as an external bicycle tour of the world, but as she physically covers thirty thousand miles across twenty-three countries on four continents she overcomes illness and inner fears, changes life careers, and becomes a Buddhist, proving that the ultimate journey was a spiritual pilgrimage leading to personal awakening.
