My partner and I have been traveling the world since November 2023. I write about our experiences with a historian’s eye and an internationalist lens. David and I met in 1982, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, as activists in solidarity with El Salvador. David became a Minneapolis Public School Social Worker. I earned a PhD from the University of Minnesota, and taught college history courses in Minnesota for 30 years. We watched our child grow, planted gardens, and engaged in peace, anti-racism, immigrant rights, and labor activism. At 54, we bicycled the perimeter of the US. I wrote a book about it. At 65, we sold our home, divested ourselves of things, and hit the road again. There are no ads, product placements, or commercial recommendations in my Aging on the Run blog. I hope you enjoy these essays. Communicate with me at awmpedalstory@gmail.com
