Gu Binbin, a Huai’an native aged 33, finished his journey spanning the United States from Oct 10 to Nov 18, 2012 on a bike. From New York to Los Angeles, from Atlantic Ocean to Pacific Ocean, after cycling through 15 states in a 43-day-journey for 4,600 km, he fulfilled his dream of traveling across the US.
After a long-term preparation since he quit his job, Gu started his journey across the US from last year. He experienced numerous dangers as well as troubles such as poor accommodation, physical exhaustion and loneliness on his way, but he managed to finish the journey finally.
He said that a journey from the North Pole to the South Pole has already been put on his agenda.
