I'm a retired ballet dancer that is currently cycling across America. I rode from Portland to DC in 2012 and met so many good people on the ride that I recently decided to sell everything I own and travel. I'm currently in the northeast and will head south when it gets cold. www.lewisandclarkandmark.com

Update! Cycled in 33 of the 50 states in the US and in Quebec to Montreal. Spent a winter in New Orleans working at a hostel before cycling to California where I spent the next winter in the San Francisco bay area. Currently in France attempting to learn the language. Here in France till June 2017 when I head to NYC on the 27th.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Great to meet locals and hear their stories. I believe in real traveling and real travel, in my opinion, is about meeting people and experiencing a city like a local.
