“I am currently on a bicycle tour of the Americas: the plan and route is totally open – I have no firm agenda or schedule. I left Alaska in June 2009. I am traveling by pure pedal-power, carrying everything that I need with me, camping and relying on local hospitality where I can. My route is decided by a happy mixture of planning and serendipity. I meet people and hear about different things that spark my interest on the way. I’m in no rush.” Anna Kortschak
