In a Facebook post, the biker girl opened up about the big decision. The travel vlogger talked about what a rough year she had been through and how this allowed her to reconnect with God.
“This last year was one of the hardest in my life, and all life’s challenges have led me to this point here and now.”

The Canadian biker explained how she was a Muslim at heart for a while but finally made it official.
“For me, I was already technically a “Muslim”. Ash-hadu an Ilaha il Allah (there is only one God)
Wa ash-hadu ana Muhammad ar-rasullallah (Muhammad PBUH is a messenger of God) This I already believed. My Shahada (my testimony) was basically reverting my life to the path of Oneness, connection and Peace through the devotion of God.”
Spiritual Path
Rosie had called it quits with Christianity four years ago. She has rekindled her spirituality with Islam.
“I denounced my religion 4 years ago, going down a deep path of spiritual discovery, Exploration of self, and the great Divine. I never let go the sight of the Creator, in fact, my curiosity and connection only grew stronger. Now no longer dictated by fear, I was able to fully explore this righteous path.”

She explained how religion and rekindling her connection with God made her overcome emotion scars from the past. She specifically mentioned what part Pakistan played in all this.
“The universe brought me to Pakistan, not only to challenge myself to let go of the last remaining traces of pain and ego, but also to show me the way. Through the kindness, humbled grace and way of the Muslim people I met along my pilgrimage, inspired my heart to seek further.”

Rosie Gabrielle even touched on Islamophobia. She explained that the key to overcoming that stigma is through good old-fashioned research.
“Unfortunately Islam is one of the most misinterpreted, ostracized and criticized religions world-wide. And like all religions, there are many interpretations. But, the core of it, the true meaning of Islam, is PEACE, LOVE & ONENESS. It’s not a religion, but a way of life. The life of humanity, humility and Love.”
Congratulations to Rosie Gabrielle on this big decision and standing up for what she believes in. She’s still solo riding across the world.
