It is the Search Itself, the Liberation of Moving Through the World
Velkommen! Hello and Welcome!
The Tiny Adventurer here; thank you for paying me a visit. I am a girl on a pink bicycle (aka Dusty Carnation). I gave up everything; job, house, car, life in my beloved hometown of Phoenix, Arizona, to travel the world on my bike. I’m out here, maybe near you, so stop in and say hi! Write me a message and let me know where you’re from - I’d love to meet you if the stars align and if I am in your home country or town. For now, feel free to roam around my page and discover the chaotic, last-minute, wild spoke lore of a girl on her pink bike!
You'll find tips and stories about connecting with people, nature, other cultures, and even yourself through travel and adventure. This blog is meant to give whosoever goes here a little sparkle of inspiration as you set out on your journeys (or dream of the day). I think sometimes people get caught up in marking all of these places on their maps, and neglect to truly experience the world around them. But I want more for you!
Travel and adventure is a wild, messy but wonderful experience of healing, growth, and learning to live in the moment. I hope that my stories and musings will be an inspiration to you, and that through them you will discover a confidence in the magic of travel that can help us heal from hurt and grow in kindness - and share that kindness wherever your next adventure takes you!
Collecting Beautiful Moments
Inspired by a deep connection I made with an extraordinary human in North Holland, I created this blog so I could do my small part in sharing the depth of kindness and liefde (love) that was so generously imparted to me during my time in the Netherlands, and across the globe, where I’ve had the privilege of sharing beautiful moments with so many wonderful people. This isn’t your average travel blog – we’re getting deeper! The stories and insights within these blue-light pages cover a variety of topics to inspire you to keep yourself open to opportunities along your journeys, be intentional about making connections with others and the world around you, and live your adventures without limits. Above all, embrace every opportunity to sprinkle kindness on the world like a sweet, sweet rain shower. The depth of healing and joy this can bring to you will, I promise you, have a remarkable impact on your life and leave an imprint that will change you in the most wonderful ways.
I hope my stories and insights will inspire you and fill you with hope and excitement as you venture into the world and make connections that leave beautiful imprints on your heart forever.
#WomenBelongOutside
I’m supporting The Cairn Project by cycling over 5,000km from France to Turkey. My goal is to raise $2,000 by the time I reach Istanbul — all donations go to directly supporting their work.
The Cairn Project mobilizes women adventurers to fundraise, tell stories, and expand outdoor access for girls and women everywhere. All raised funds go towards outdoor scholarships for women and girls.
