Empowering Journey
Manage episode 365793315 series 2682105
Sara Qiu Ruan has embarked on a life-changing adventure, conquering her fears and cycling with the profound purpose of helping people.
Sara’s solo cycle tour has taken her across 7500km and into 10 countries – and counting. She has overcome her fear of asking for help, adjusted to wild camping, and stepped out of her comfort zone by connecting with people she meets along the way.
But her journey isn’t only about personal growth; she is on a mission to make a difference. While in Turkey, Sara experienced the devasting effects of the recent earthquake firsthand. She received warm hospitality from many families who lost everything and has dedicated her trip to helping. Sara is cycling with the purpose of raising 50.000 € for earthquake relief in Turkey and Syria.
Taking the first step was the hardest, but she learned more about herself in the first 9 months of her tour than in the first 30 years of her life. The best things that happen in the journey are not planned; they are the adventures and people we meet along the way.
Learn more about Sara and her efforts to help earthquake survivors on her Journey From the Road website. Follow her adventures on YouTube at Journey From the Road and on Instagram at @journeyfromtheroad.
