Why I’m bikepacking
Today, I'm cycling across the USA for something much greater than merely my solo adventure: to help protect Whales.
Whales are my favorite creature and, above all, the guardians of our planet for many reasons (which I'll tell you more about later).
I believe it's an excellent reason to ride, inspiring both myself and others to pursue their fight and their dreams.
A Journey of Discovery and Connection
This trip is all about slow travel—taking the scenic route and embracing a deeper connection with the places I pass through. On my bike, I’m not just rushing from one destination to the next; I’m soaking in the beauty of nature, feeling the rhythm of the road, and savoring every moment. By choosing to travel this way, I’m making a conscious effort to reduce my carbon footprint. Every pedal stroke is a step toward a more sustainable future, as I leave behind the noise and speed of traditional travel. It’s an adventure that blends freedom with responsibility, allowing me to move through the world in harmony with it.
The whale has always been my favorite animal—majestic, grand, and full of mystery. It’s a symbol of strength, grace, and wisdom. As I cycle from Austin to Vancouver, I carry the image of these magnificent creatures with me. I believe that traveling with a cause greater than myself—raising awareness for environmental conservation and our oceans—gives my journey meaning beyond just exploration. The whales are a constant reminder of the connection we share with nature, and by supporting efforts to protect them, I’m contributing to something much bigger than my own adventure.

Time for Reset, Reflection, and Inspiration
This journey is also about resetting—taking a step back from the hustle of everyday life to reflect and recharge. The open road offers space to think, reconnect with my goals, and gain a fresh perspective on what matters most. As I move forward, I’m not just crossing miles; I’m making a meaningful transition to a new chapter of life. Whether it’s finding clarity on my life’s direction or discovering new ways to be inspired, this trip is about personal growth, achieving my goals, and taking one step closer to becoming the person I’m meant to be.
