The 28-year-old from the ancient city of Kannauj in India set off in November of 2014 to spread his message of climate change and world peace.
When all is said and done, he will have spent six years cycling around the globe.
So far he has traveled through 41 countries, however, Australia tops the list of his favourites.
“Australia is so beautiful,” he said.
“It’s lovely, such nice weather, little traffic, so clean, I even love the smell,” he laughed.
Over his journey, he will have passed through 90 countries, cycled 95,000 kilometers, and hopes to meet over ten million people, and plant over 100,000 trees.
Abhishek’s journey is set to come to a close in 2020, when he arrives home after six years abroad.
