She rides a bicycle that was given for free and helps at organic farms and self-sufficient communities in exchange for room and board. In London, waste is the key for survival. Illegal squatting that occupies abandoned buildings and boat sitting for a friend who owns a houseboat goes on a trip, and skip diving for discarded food.
When out of the UK, she hitchhikes to travel. Living in the wild with nature loving people, she reconnects with nature. Traveling in a large caravan with a group of twenty hippies, immersing herself in the flow in pursuit of true freedom and peace. By the time it was the one-year anniversary of the project, she was in Greece. She continues her journey toward the East searching for the truth. While she travels through Türkiye, Georgia, Iran, and India without money, she seeks answers to the purpose and meaning of life.
