　　How did she do it? For navigating and communicating with locals, she relied on apps on her phone. She generally stayed in tents, camping for free, or was invited to join locals as a CouchSurfer in order to save money. She purchased her food from stores.

　　她是怎么做到的？交流全靠手机翻译，导航全靠手机地图。 为了省钱，住宿基本上靠搭帐篷、免费营地或是应当地人邀约当“沙发客”，食物则基本在超市解决。

　　Li said that she had suffered from depression but had been cured for several years, no longer needing to rely on medication. Cycling around the world for 8 years has been better medication than any drug.

　　李冬菊告诉记者，此前自己患上了抑郁症，但现在已经康复数年，不再需要依赖药物。

　　Li also said, "I have been asking myself why so many complete strangers would want to assist me on my journey. There are many kind individuals in the world who don't expect anything in return." Li expressed her desire to be able to share that love with others.

　　“我其实一直在问自己，一路上为什么有这么多陌生人帮我，其实没有答案，人家就是不求回报。”李冬菊表示，希望有机会可以传递这些爱心。
