world reviewer
Kim Marsden
Always an avid traveler, Kim had an epiphany about ten years ago, the main point of which was - What are you waiting for? She then decided to take to the back roads of the US and do what she’d been wanting to do since she left college which is ride around at her own pace exploring the world. She has been accumulating experiences on her way and hopes to be able to settle back into an stationary life somewhere and write her memoirs (which should now be far more interesting than if she had stayed off her bike.).
Worldreviewer is a nice way to start sharing her experiences.
