Published 1 year, 8 months ago

Description

“The brand of America is love. It seems a little strange to say that today, but it still holds that… it is love when we’re connecting individually with people.” Heidi Beierle

We need this reminder as never before…there is more that unites than divides us and slow travel through America can prove that. Heidi Beierle, author of “Heidi Across America,” shares her solo journey bicycling across the U.S. in 2010. Discover how this transformative adventure reshaped her perspective, the kindness of people she met, and the surprising hospitality of rural communities. Beierle discusses the profound experience of slow travel and its impact on understanding landscapes and societal interactions. Whether you’re into biking, walking, or exploring small-town America, Heidi’s story is a testament to the power of human connection and the beauty of America’s heartland.
