Bonus Content

In addition to a final deliverable of a book (possibly two, including one for children) titled Round America with a Duck (in both print and digital formats), this multifaceted project includes numerous bonus-content assets shared across platforms.

Join 50k other people who’ve already viewed #RoundAmericaWithADuck TikToks! Follow the ‘Round America with a Duck blog. Stay tuned for Free Art Friday guerilla art, a monthly newsletter, a cartoon, merch and more! I’m also releasing the precursor to this book, Bucket List, as a weekly series on Wattpad! (Or you could knock out the whole shebang in one sitting here.)

You may also find my published articles* helpful. Oh, and join the thousands of others who’ve taken my free bike classes all over the world.

Farms

I will add a brief overview, website links, and a TikTok or two here per farm visit. See currently-planned route.

  1. The Pilot-Test: Our Giving Garden in Mableton, Georgia (October 2022): 2 weeks in a Tiny Home on a small nonprofit farm that donates 100% of what it grows to Sweetwater Mission, plus provides education and events for the community. Here is a blog post from the pilot-test of the pilot-test (Virgo that I am, lol). Here is a photo essay from my stay:

Cities and Local Businesses

I will provide brief overviews of sustainability highlights from the cities I visit and local businesses I discover and love. I offer assignment-based content creation for global and local media outlets, city chambers of commerce, and businesses for use on their sites and social media platforms. See FAQs for rates.
