Passport Voyager: Bike-love inspiration from Amsterdam, Cinque Terre, Copenhagen, Paris, London, Milan, Florence, Rome, Vienna, and elsewhere
Passport Voyager, a Monterey Bay native and the daughter of Bicycling Monterey’s founder, has travelled a lot for her work. She’s biked in places we’ve never seen, and she’s often shared with us bicycling photos from her travels. Perhaps you’ve spotted her skirt guard photo in our Bike Fashionistas post.
When she recorded the video below, she was visiting Vienna, Austria, where she enjoyed an Unhashtag Vienna experience: in essence, savoring the present moment in her immediate surroundings. A solo traveler, when she checked in to let Mom know she’d arrived safe and well, she was appreciating the transportation infrastructure. Get a glimpse of it in her video greeting to me, directly below.

Sweet! @passportvoyager is visiting Monterey County and brought me souvenirs from her February bicycle tour of #Amsterdam. "There are around 900,000 bicycles in Amsterdam, even more bicycles than people." And "63% of the capital's inhabitants are using their bicycles every day." pic.twitter.com/xs3Dc4EmyZ
Before shifting her career focus to travel, she worked in the music industry and earned a B.A. in Music Management and Communications from CUNY-Baruch. From childhood, e.g., concert mistress for Monterey County’s Orchestra in the Schools, to young adulthood, e.g., performing at NYC’s Rockwood Music Hall, she’s a musician herself, and we dig her taste in music. Enjoy!
