An introduction to enjoying the little things in life and finding an adventure right in your own backyard.
Before I even returned home from bicycling the world, I wondered if I would see everything in a new light of wisdom, or whether I might die of boredom.

Here are a few videos I made during my bicycling book tour. Featuring a documentary asking people: If you could do anything, what would you do?
This summer I did a mini bicycle trip from coast to coast in Wisconsin, which means from the Mississippi River to Lake Michigan. Well, mini may not be accurate, but everything compared to going around the world seems mini.
Once again I have applied to be a roommate at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. Above you see what would be my bedroom. I also imagine my bicycle, the bicycle that went around the world, occupying a very important corner, along with some maps and photos. I considered my journey as an empirical study of the meaning of life.

I had another great interview on WPR's Larry Meiller program. We talked a little about my trip around the world on a bicycle, and a lot about working on the new school book project.
One of the most popular questions people continue to ask me is: "What are you going to do next?"
This is quite probably the best photograph that I ever took, which after taking pictures of world wonders, like the sphinx and the Parthenon, means a lot.
As a post world tour honor, me and my bike got to occupy first, second and third place on the podium at the Downer Classic race at the Tour of America's Dairyland. I also had the chance to share my story with the crowd.
My story in the acclaimed Milwaukee Magazine was on the newsstands in March and was a sweet summary of my trip. Wish I had a professional photographer following me around the world. Can you guess what that white stuff is?
Today’s interview is with Scott Stoll, author of the book Falling Uphill, founder of the adventure travel community The Argonauts, and perpetual traveller. He’s currently cycling around the world. Yes, cycling – as in on a bicycle.
His assistant said, "I can't believe you rode a bicycle around the world and are complaining about the sun in Milwaukee." For the record, I'm burnt! But it is funny how every one eventually says, "For a guy who biked the world, you [insert insult] !"
