Forty-one-year-old Tsering was greeted by cheering crowds of Tibeten refugees, also on motorbikes, as he rolled his BMW GS 1200 into Dharmsala, where spiritual leader the Dalai Lama has been living in exile since fleeing Tibet in 1959.
Tsering, now a resident New Yorker, left the UN office in NYC on 10 March 2010, the 51st anniversary of the failed Tibeten upraising against the Chinese rule. His goal was to travel through 22 countries, raising awareness of Tibet's struggles. "I thought somebody had to make Tibetan people's voice heard," He explains. " I decided to go around the world telling people about our plight."
