I am usually an indoors science-research-laboratory type person, but this is the summer before I graduate and I wanted to do something different. I decided to cycle along the existing Keystone 1 Pipeline, interviewing locals, experts and officials along the way to understand and help the public understand– through Huffington the facts behind pipelines, oil sands and energy security debates through a different lens while having an adventure.

“I am Barbara from Germany and just came back from a 7 month cycling tour alone from Ushuaia, Argentina to Lima, Peru. In Bolivia I went trekking and mountaineering for some weeks. After several trips in Europe this was my first one in South America, and I got so excited that I was definitely not my last! Thanks for your site, it’s encouraging to see so many women travelling alone!”
