Kansas Isn't Pink: Awakening and Bicycle Touring

Kansas Isn’t Pink: Awakening and Bicycle Touring formerly Kansas Isn’t Pink: A Bike Tour Across Europe by David G.Khachadoorian is a compelling travel memoir and personal transformation story. During his senior year of high school, David loses his father then nearly his own life to a blood disease. Initially weighing nearly 400 pounds, but determined to claim his life, he embarks on a bicycle tour across Europe after high school graduation, that turns into so much more. Over the course of the journey, he sheds 180 pounds, but more importantly, he sheds the limitations of his previous life, embracing a vastly expanded perspective and spiritual depth while biking through eight countries. What begins as a quest for adventure turns into an emotional pilgrimage; healing grief, testing his resilience, and discovering a new sense of self. It’s a candid, motivational narrative about healing, and self-reinvention. It’s possible to radically reset one’s life through courage, endurance, and faith. If you're drawn to stories of epic bike journeys, weight loss transformations, or deeply personal coming-of-age memoirs, this one will resonate. Read more
