    Amazing Journey: Bicycling 'round the world since 2002

    By 1WorldPeace  |  Posted October 25, 2009  |  zurich, Switzerland
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     I spoke to 1WorldPeace and he told me he was fascinated by this world traveler he came across while shopping. 1WorldPeace himself helped to launch a boating expedition around the world, so the two men had something in common.
    - nsaidi, CNN iReport producer

    I ran across Keiichi Iwasaki while shopping in the city of Zürich Switzerland recently. He is a Japanese man who is travelling around the world by bicycle since 2002.  He's now on his 5th bicycle.  He started with a few yen in his pocket that amounted to about 2 US Dollars! Too earn money he performs magic tricks on the street. (and he's excellent!)  His travel started 7 years ago and in this video you will find out why!

    When I asked him "Why", he gave me an answer I didn't expect.  Nevertheless, he is determined to traverse the whole world.  His map he showed me on this video shows some amazing places he's been to.  On his website, (in several languages) http://www.feel-the-earth.com/english.html he has written a bit of a log of his journey that he hope to one day publish.

    Do I smell Movie project?

    Many prayers to him as he continues on his AMAZING Journey!
