Girl, Meet Bike: Falling Headfirst into the Sport of Cycling

    Girl, Meet Bike: Falling Headfirst into the Sport of Cycling

    Cycling. Well, actually, bicycle touring. How is it that these two words describe my lifestyle when, just two years ago, they meant very little to me? I’ve never been a cyclist. I didn’t grow up cycling around with friends after school and I

      Learning About Trust From Strangers

      If you’ve never met me, then walking into my kitchen and seeing an unknown man in polka-dot sundress making breakfast for four might seem strange. If you do know me, then you know I host Couchsurfers, and you probably wouldn’t

        Don’t go to the Office Today – You’ll get more Done

        I’m writing this because a lot of people equate travel with vacation, or vagabonds, or broke backpackers (none of which are a bad thing, by the way), rather than something you can actually do while running a lucrative business. The

          Luke the Couchsurfer came to me from the East coast…on bike. Let me say that again: he was bicycling across the United States by himself. (Another person who inspired my very own adventures). I felt terrible then, that the event

          I'm Averi!

          Bicycle Explorer. Curious Mind.

          I've known for awhile now I want to embark on a bike ride of epic proportions. I've known for even longer that I want to do something meaningful with life, something that really impacts people.

          So, where do I begin?

          1. Figure out what it takes to bicycle around the world - gear, routes, bicycles, etc.

          2. Spread happiness wherever I go.

          I'm not sure where exactly this will take me, but I do know this: I want to focus on the human experience - giving words to other people's stories & helping them in a way that benefits them, with no expectation of anything in return.

          I want to bicycle and ask one simple question of people: What's your bliss?

          This is my little project in this big world. Thank you for being a part of it.

          Never miss an adventure
