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

      Pedaling Across America

      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

      About Me

      Photo I'm Averi!
      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

      • Bariloche has some of the most accessible trails I’ve ever seen. And not just casual-stroll-through-the-neighborhood trails. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Nope 👎🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Real mountain hikes with epic views and bright blue lakes. They are extremely well marked (very easy to do this on your own - perfect for solo travelers) and can all be found on barilochetrekking.com.You can sort by:* Distance* Difficulty* Duration (multi day or day hike)Then - and this is truly the best part - you can take PUBLIC BUSES right to the trail head, or very close by. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Write down that website and extend your stay in Bariloche, people! It’s more than a 1-day stop to get food and gear before heading further south in Patagonia.
      • I decided to take a rest from IG on a Friday, and then it turned into a long weekend and then a weeklong vacation. And then, when I looked up I noticed it had been a month. 😝😝 I’ve been traveling for me.  Discovering places without worrying about how they’ll look on a feed and getting my creativity back. I don’t like to talk about #bucketlist places because that word kind of makes me cringe a bit (idk why??), but I have to say Patagonia is damn close to one if there ever was. I’ve been reading travel memories and drooling over this place for almost a decade. And now here I am and it just didn’t feel right sulley my first view by having it be through an iPhone screen. Ya know? Plus, it was E-A-S-Y to not log into Instagram. Like, scary easy. I didn’t plan it. I got busy packing and prepping (and, you know, running a business) and then I just.....forgot. Sure, for a few days I missed it and I had fleeting thoughts here and there on a mountain top of which preset would look 💯. But then, like that on again off again relationship you finally left and never looked back on, I just forgot about it and realized my life is really damn great on it’s own. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀So, here’s the update: I’m over here in Patagonia 🙋🏼‍♀️. Where the lakes are the bluest I’ve ever seen and the mountains 🏔 are just begging to be climbed. It took 2 weeks of prep, plus re-buying most my gear here (more on that coming soon), 1 month of travel, and a few side trips, and I still feel like I’m just dipping my toes in. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀📸: @dani_gonzalez1217_
      • Lara Croft or Indiana Jones? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I love it when a place makes me feel like I’m somewhere right out of the movies. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀One last photo of the Malacara Volcano 🌋 before I show you some other stuff I’ve been doing in Mendoza and Buenos Aires this summer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••.....#argentina_ig #discoverargentina #hiking_my_life #girlswhohike #southamericatravel #solotravelers #malargüe #volcanmalacara #volcanoes #getoutstayout #earthpix
      • Summer livin’ ☀️ 🌊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I never considered myself a ‘surfer’ until I started traveling in South America and the grand majority of bodies of water here are pools. Which are wonderful, but calm. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I do know there are some great places to go here, though! I’m just hanging out in the other parts 😝. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Until I catch my first South American wave (which is las olas, pronounced the same as “hola”, which I love), I miss those California beaches and the post surf tacos. But not just any taco. The ones @citytacossd makes. The way they’re supposed to be. The stuff dreams are made of. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀If you dream of tacos, that is. 🌮🤩
