I grew up in Kentucky and lived in Austin, Texas for five years. I left the USA in September 2014 to travel the world as long as possible with my bicycle. I spent 7 months cycling around and living in New Zealand. Then I cycled and traveled in Vietnam for 6 weeks. Lived in Wroclaw, Poland for the summer teaching English. Now I live near Amsterdam, NL with my Dutch boyfriend who I met back in New Zealand.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode my bicycle alone across three mountain passes in the Ha Giang province of Northern Vietnam. It was very remote. Babies cried when they saw me because they had never seen a white person! I climbed more than 15,000 meters in 3 days on my bicycle. It was so tough but very rewarding. The scenery was just spectacular.
