I am Marissa, and I am traveling across all 50 United States by bicycle to document what this country is really like firsthand. I was always taught that you do not have a right to complain unless you are willing to do something about it, and that belief is what pushed me to begin this journey. I wanted to understand the country beyond just seeing a few places, because our states are as diverse as entire countries. By riding through each state myself, I hope to capture honest stories, landscapes, and experiences that show the depth and variety of life across America. So far, I have completed 21 states, and each one has strengthened my commitment to seeing this journey through.

 This fundraiser is helping me document the journey as I go. I have already invested $2,000 in media support and videography equipment because I believe it is important to record this experience well and share it with others. I live on just $20 a day, and putting so much into higher-quality media has reduced my journey by 100 days. Your support will help me continue creating and documenting this project so I can complete what I started. If my journey speaks to you, please consider contributing and helping me make it through all 50 states. I would also love for you to follow my adventures on social media to see updates from the road and be part of this experience as it unfolds.
