Fiji's getting along well with her doggy host. LOL Fiji's dominate, but Quila is eager to play and please. #FiJaPAW (at San Jose, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btv-lrNg0Yn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vuxekdpql6or

We've stayed with Mark, Vikki, their children and furry babies on every bicycle tour so far. They've watched Fiji and I at the beginning, middle and end of our tours as they were usually an endpoint, middlepoint or starting point. Fiji was just a 2-year-old, energetic pup who often tested their cats when we first met. Now, 6 years later, Fiji and I have been so far and grown so much. But Fiji still tests the cats. This time, we were greeted with a pleasant surprise of a tiny home with electricity built in their spacious backyard for guests. How sweet are these accomodations?! #FiJaPAW #nomadlife #california #violin #tinyhome #warmshowers #southbayphilharmonic (at San Jose, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtrY8o_gUVl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=my3t27i5i2aw

Road trip to California, then trike ride back across half of the country in March after the Bach Double performance with the South Bay Philharmonic. Exciting month ahead with lots to learn! #FiJaPAW #nomadlife #violin #roadtrip #recumbenttrikes #cycletouring https://www.instagram.com/p/BtjP3trAKpl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4bracafns5hr

What a wonderful honor to be featured in Bicycling Magazine. A huge thanks to all the people who said a few words about me in the article! Just to clarify, I didn't ride the ICE Adventure recumbent trike across Canada. It has yet to get that kind of mileage, but it's on its way! :) Fiji and I are putting off the South America trek for a year and going back up to Canada to see Cape Breton and Newfoundland next Summer. When I crossed Canada in 2016, it was October already when I reached Nova Scotia, so I didn't have time to explore Cape Breton and NF before the extremely cold weather settled in. We will head back down to the Southern Continent at the end of 2019. However, like this article brings out, I am excited to be working with a couple of community orchestras and musicians along my route as well as some schools with underserved children to collaborate on musical projects. Stay tuned for those adventures as well! https://www.bicycling.com/culture/a25309187/jasmine-reese-cross-country-road-trip-bike/ #FiJaPAW #violin #music #bicycling #magazine #Fiddlershop #fiddlermansoloist https://www.instagram.com/p/BrEJ54JgoFE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18b9bzoaheg01

I am the bird whisperer. #FiJaPAW #petsittingadventures

So lucky to have a travel companion who adjusts so well to new places and makes new friends so easily. #FiJaPAW

My friend, Sue, who I met when I cycled down the East Coast of the U.S. visited Columbia, MO, yesterday. Fiji actually remembered her! She took this photo of me trying to be all serious, LOL. It was so nice to see her! #FiJaPAW

On Monday at 7 pm CDT, U.S., 5 pm PDT, I will go live and stream a discussion with Sylvia Halpern, or @sylviahalpern on my Facebook page: https://facebook.com/FiJaPAW.official I get to meet amazing people -- musicians, cyclists, hosts, etc -- and we talk about so many awesome things. I want to begin sharing those conversations with you all a bit more. Please tune in on Monday evening, and let me know if you like it and want to see more. I will also collaborate with Sylvia with some virtual music, so stay tuned for that! A little about the extraordinary, Sylvia: For the last 10 years, Sylvia has triked her way around the world and taken her summers off in Portland, Oregon. On her first tour, she pedaled from Canada and down the Pacific Coast of the United States. Everyone said, "You can't continue into Mexico. You'll be robbed, raped, and more likely, killed." She decided to go anyway and spent a magical six months cycling around Mexico. "I discovered Mexico is a wonderful country and that cycling as a solo female is a fantastic way to travel. That trip opened up the world to me. If I could handle cycling in Mexico, I felt like I could go anywhere," Sylvia said. In the following years, I cycled through New Zealand, Australia, Turkey, Morocco, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, France, Spain, and Portugal. Her motto: If it isn't fun, do something else.
