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.
