 JOPLIN, MISSOURI –A South African journalist makes a trek across Route 66 by bicycle.Lena Faber left from Chicago in late May and plans to be in Santa Monica by the end of September
She used to write a newspaper series in a leading Moscow newspaper called “Route” and  plans to write a book about her journey in America called “Folks’N Route 66.”

Faber says she’s determined to see as much of America as she can.

“I want to see every single sign. Every single museum and everything. That’s why at this time I should already be in Santa Monica but I’m still here because I stop at every single sign. And the most reason why I stop and slow down is people,” says Faber.

Along the way she posts on her website and blog about her travels.

From journalism and car racing in Russia to teaching at the University in South Africa, where she won Alliance de France and the British Consulate international photo contests, she switched paths: earned a silver medal at the 2011 World Masters Athletics USA, hiked the 2,081-mile Appalachian Trail, navigated the Amazon from Peru to Brazil, biked Route 66 from Chicago to LA, from London to Orkney, and from Canada to Key West, and launched an art project at Midcoast Maine. During lockdown drove to Olympic Valley Palisades Tahoe where became a ski and swim instructor, then… well, enough for now.
