i picked up this book after listening to sequoia schmidt on the podcast strangers: the schmidts part 1 & 2. the account of riding 'across' new zealand is mostly about her emotional adventure, dealing with the loss of her father and brother, and overcoming fears found in challenges.
being a minimalist solo bike tour-er myself, that aspect was a lot of fun--even though it was painful to hear the gear advice she got at the start of her trip.
