A Guinness World Record ✅
10/13/22 I had intended to write this post as soon as we finished the record, but I found myself needing a social media, blog, internet, and technology break as soon as the journey was over. We were completely overwhelmed by endless support and encouragement during the entirety of the journey. Words can't express how grateful… Continue reading A Guinness World Record ✅
A World Record, The Rockies, and Less Than a Week Left!

Our bikes are pushed against the far wall, and Kyle is currently… Continue reading The First 1,000+ Miles

An Ending, A Beginning
3/24/22 The sailing season is coming to an end for me and Kyle and we are already preparing for our next adventure.

I loved all the countries we… Continue reading An Ending, A Beginning
A Series of Moments
1/23/2022 When I really think about it, think about what makes up our lives, it seems that it is a series of moments. Moments that add up to minutes, minutes to hours, hours to days, and days to years. Years and years of life, filled with individual moments. Sometimes these moments are amazing, sometimes they… Continue reading A Series of Moments
