About Megan
Megan Wycklendt is a 28 year old adventure seeker who recently made the shift from a life as a nomad bicycle traveler and travel guide to a school counselor in Wisconsin, USA.
In 2015 she began life as a full-time traveler when she embarked on a bicycle tour from Alaska to the bottom tip of Argentina. After roughly 2 years on the bike, Megan and her friend Gordon reached their destination and Megan continued the adventure life working as a travel guide in the Indian Himalayas.
Content in the nomadic lifestyle, Megan was contacted by an old friend about a job back home in Wisconsin. Although reluctant to leave the traveling lifestyle, she couldn't let the opportunity pass by so she packed my backpack and moved back to Wisconsin where she is currently living and working.
