Hello, friends, and welcome back to the Bikes for Death podcast. As always, my name is Patrick,

and I'm your host. And on today's episode, I'm talking with McKinsey Barney, who just got

finished cycling the world. McKenzie traveled 18,000 miles through 28 countries and five continents.

And almost all of it was solo.

Her travels would take her through Africa, South America, Australia, Europe, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia.

McKinsey comes to bike touring by way of through hiking.

She's a very accomplished through hiker.

And on top of that, she's also a filmmaker and a storyteller.

And I thoroughly enjoy talking to her.

She is absolutely a great storyteller with great experiences and

great insights. I gained a lot of value from this episode and whether you're interested in

international travel or solo travel or if you just like to hear about cool people doing rad

shit on bikes, I think you're going

to really like this episode. So that is what we're talking about today. But before we get to

the episode, I want to take a minute to thank the people that made it possible starting with

our latest batch of patrons. Now this week, we would like to thank McGraw coaching for signing up to be

a patron. We really appreciate your support. If you're interested in helping us produce these episodes,

is also an Ombras wearer. So I brought her on to tell us some things that she likes about her

ombras sunglasses. All right, McKenzie. Well, you're about to be on today's episode.

But when I was researching today's episode, I noticed that you are also an

ombras wearer.
