The Pacific Coast Inland Detour Bicycle Route

    The Pacific Coast Inland Detour Bicycle Route

    I’ve been getting a few route requests since my post about my misadventures on the Pacific Coast Highway. So, I thought I’d share the map. For those of you who didn’t catch it, my friends and I had the impeccable timing of

    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

      The Path Toward Gratifying Sustainability

        The Path Toward Gratifying Sustainability

        I recently connected with Tobias Roberts and Scott Moses – two family men, outdoor adventurers, sustainability pioneers, organic farmers and the writers behind Live Once Live Wild. I thought, having the same affinity for the outdoors and all, that we’d

        What If We All “Left No Trace?”

          What If We All “Left No Trace?”

          There’s one thing that keeps showing up over and over in my outdoor experiences: trash. Most recently, I saw littered beaches (both from people not picking up after themselves and from trash washing up in the waves) along the Pacific Coast

            Musings from the Road: Rained in on a Bicycle Tour

            I’m currently “on a bicycle tour” but I say that with quotations because today is my first day and I’m actually bundled under some blankets in front of a fire. I’ve only pedaled 1.5 miles so far. Instead of riding,

              Sun-Powered Cooking for your Next Weekend Car Camp

              A while back, I decided to check out a workshop on solar cooking, thinking I might pick up a thing or two for future bicycle and backpacking trips (I also shared this post, here). In my head, I think I

                Meet Tom. He’s a pretty badass entrepreneur with a major adventure traveling addiction and a mission to make a difference in the world. I recently had the chance to touch base with him right as he was beginning his Southern

                  Brandi and I recently connected on Instagram, where she shared her story of the first solo travel she ever did. As a fellow freelance writer and nomad with an affinity for wood smoke and the open road, I knew we

                    How About a Little…Time Travel?

                    Sometimes, your next big adventure isn’t any further than your local park. So when opportunity comes knocking, you should never turn down the chance get out and enjoy your own city. I’m a 90’s child and a big fan of

                    About Me

                    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.
