When she first came to China, the culture shock meant she was even afraid to shop for groceries. Since then, adjusting to China has also become a journey of self-discovery and self-exploration.
"This trip is a personal test. I don't know how I will deal with the lack of social contact," she says. "It will mainly be a mental and emotional challenge to see if I can keep it together."
Adventurous women out there are invited to join Moseman for a stretch of her journey - though they better keep up with her pace.
She plans to start with 40-50km a day, and work up to 80km in about a month. Though slower riders can still go along, Moseman says she will ride ahead and wait for them at the end of the day's stop.
Along the way she will take thousands of photographs, and keep a journal. With this portfolio she says she hopes to "show China to the US." The next step is yet unclear, but she can see herself teaching English in a rural part of China in the near future.
"This trip is a completion of my self-discovery process in China, but also it is the beginning of a completely new chapter," Moseman says.
