What I Love:

Being outside, climbing mountains, traveling, exploring new cultures, reading, interacting with out curious minds. I am woman of the outdoors and seek any opportunity to adventure. I am not shy to step out of my comfort bubble and explore far reaches of the world.

My Favorite Ride:

Touring! My first was a 3 week bike trip through Holland, Belgium, France with my best friend, Moira. And more recently through Patagonia on the Carretera Austral with Celine Welker! I am also crazy about rhinos and am planning a ride through Laikipia, Kenya for the conservation of Rhinos - Riding for Rhinos. Come join me for a trip through Kenya on the seat of a bicycle and pedal for the future of rhinos!
