Marianne Worth Rudd is a veteran of self-supported bike touring in North America, Europe, and New Zealand. She’s completed three cross-country U.S. bike trips — two with her husband, and one as solo cyclist. With a passion for language and youth camps, she often works at camps in the United States or Switzerland, either teaching language or working as a camp nurse. She received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Pacific Lutheran University, and her Master’s degree in International Education with a focus of Teaching English as a Second Language from Endicott College. When not on her bicycle or at camp, Marianne can frequently be found in Portland, Oregon, where she lives with her husband.
