A man from Nepal who has been touring the world using a donated bicycle is in the Northern Marianas to promote his personal journey for peace on earth.
Pushkar Shah told Saipan's Mayor that he is making Saipan his 139th stop in his odyssey on wheels which he has been doing since 1998.
The 40-year old graduate of education has already visited 138 countries in six continents.
Mr Shah told the Saipan Tribune he doesn't need any money for his world tour for peace but accepts whatever people would offer.
All his travel expenses, including food, airline tickets, clothing and even his bicycle are all donated by Good Samaritans.
Mr Shah, whose father was killed by terrorists, said he decided to devote his time to this personal journey as a way of calling an end to terrorism, war and fighting around the world.
Saipan Mayor Juan Tudela honored him with a plaque of appreciation.
