Cycling Through America's Heart with Corey Mortensen

Zee Michaelson Travel

Have you ever felt the call of the open road, the allure of landscapes unrolling before you, and the promise of discovery with each mile? This episode features the remarkable Corey Mortensen, a best-selling author whose spontaneous bicycle journey from Minneapolis to California is as much an exploration of the American spirit as it is a personal odyssey. As Corey recounts his hitchhiking escapades to Antarctica and his heartwarming romance in South America, you can't help but be drawn into a world where every turn brings a new adventure and every encounter, a potential story.
What starts as a 98-mile challenge on two wheels unfolds into a transformative adventure that reshapes Corey's approach to life, stripping down to minimalism, and embracing the unexpected kindness of strangers. His narrative traverses the heartland of America, revealing a nation in the aftermath of 9/11, where solidarity flourished in unlikely places. Corey's vivid recounts and the colorful characters he meets along the way paint a picture of a journey that's more than a mere trip—it's a profound leap into the essence of what it means to be alive and mobile in a vast and varied land.
By the end of our talk, you'll not only be fascinated by Corey's extraordinary tales but also inspired to craft your own. From offering insights on how travel has the power to unite and transform us, to inviting our listeners to share their own travel stories, this episode is a celebration of wanderlust and its ability to reveal the world—and ourselves—in new ways. So whether you're a seasoned globetrotter or dreaming of your first big trip, join us and let the call of the unknown stir your soul and perhaps even chart a new course in your life's adventure.
