Marie is a Minneapolis-based mountain biker, bike commuter, sea kayaker, backpacker, trail runner and world traveler. She is inspired by all things outdoors and has searched (unsuccessfully) for life’s answers in the fjords of Greenland, Roatan’s coral reefs, Moab’s singletrack, the Swiss alps and while wandering aimlessly through Amsterdam with only a messenger bag, twenty Euros, and a dog-eared copy of In a Sunburned Country.
