SINGAPORE: A woman recently took a solo bike trip through five countries in Southeast Asia and documented her trip, what she’s seen, felt, and learned, throughout her journey.
The content creator behind a YouTube channel called “Wing Outdoor” used to work in tech, but has since taken a break in order to explore Malaysia, Thailand, India, Laos, and Vietnam during a recent tour.
Not that she had it all planned out, and not that everything worked out perfectly. On the contrary, a number of things that could go wrong did, and there were days when going on was harder than she ever imagined. But she pushed through, learning a lot about herself and life in the process.
“Since the start of this trip, I’ve been figuring things out as I go. How to be on the road, and how to live on a bicycle,” she said.
Her trip started, quite naturally, in Malaysia, where her biggest takeaway seemed to be how willing people were to help her. Strangers she had never met before opened up their homes to her and allowed her to stay.
Indeed, Ms Wing found all sorts of connections on her trip, both human and animal, and her video is full of welcoming smiles, as well as the cats and dogs she found delight with along the way. Though as the trip went on, she appeared to favour cats over dogs, some of whom were apt to bark and chase after her as she passed them by.
