But this is not the first time that Kumar is doing it, in 2017 he cycled the entire stretch of New Zealand. But for the first time, he will be biking across continents. The idea of the project is to pick up strangers on the way and educate and entertain them with his stories, according to The Hindu

“The reason for this cause is to end human slavery. I am very self-sustained on this journey. I will be going through 12 different borders through the Middle East & Europe. I have done similar missions in New Zealand & Australia, & all for the same cause,” Naresh Kumar told ANI.
