This is a story worth reading - quite exceptional ...... a bike trip and an education

EDIT: And I've just found she has a newer website with more info, more pictures, more about her bike.
She's also trying to do things to help the remaining people of the area.

Saw this back in 2004, At the time there were loads of evidence discounting her travels. Probably still is if I bothered to google it past wiki

Nevertheless it is a good story and does serve to draw people's minds back to the forgotten victims of the technological age, which isnt a bad thing.
