Laurie Chipps loves her Ukrainian Village apartment, her job as a librarian at the Art Institute of Chicago and the friends she's accumulated while living in the city.
But Chipps, 36, said she still wasn't happy — a state that led to her decision to ride a bicycle 4,229 miles across the United States. Chipps' trip — which will take her from Yorktown, Virginia through 10 states before ending in Astoria, Oregon — begins Thursday.

We wish Laurie the best on her travels and the start of a new, exciting life out West.
