Here are a few of my writings about my travel adventures. Whether it be by bicycle, on foot, or hanging out with my camera, there is always something special just around the corner!
BIKE TO WORK DAY
It is hard to believe that it has been many years since I rode my bicycle to work for the first time–Bike to Work Day, 1993. I will never forget that day because it was clearly a milestone in my life. I had not planned on becoming a bicycle commuter by any means; on one ride, one day. That was all. See More
OUTER BANKS OR BUST
I believe the best things about bicycling is all of the wonderful people you meet while on the road. I met my most cherished friend while riding my bicycle. He was my mentor at first, and slowly became a more significant part of my life. With his help, I have made one of my life goals become a reality–my first week-long bicycle tour! Our destination was the Outer Banks, a group of barrier islands situated along the coastline of North Carolina. I began to read everything I could get my hands on–brochures, maps, and the AAA tour book. I put myself on a training regimen, riding with my panniers and adding a little weight each time. Everything seemed perfect, indeed. See More.
WHAT I DID ON MY SUMMER VACATION!
When I was in primary school, every fall the teacher would invariably ask, “What did you do on your summer vacation.” Back then, I never had much to say. I did the usual stuff kids do, mostly playing around the house with the other neighborhood kids who were also home during the summer. But not this year–for the first time, I went on a real summer vacation! See More.
THE NEW RIVER TRAIL STATE PARK — VIRGINIA
I believe the best thing about bicycling is all of the wonderful people you meet while on the road. I met the man who would eventually become my husband while out cycling one afternoon with a community cycling club. That was the very first bike ride I took outside my own neighborhood. Little did I know on that day, my life would change forever. See More.
