Hi!! I’m Susan.

I love to travel, I’m fueled by caffeine, biking is a favorite pastime and I do my best thinking when I’m in the garden. It was from these passions that the idea for Beans, Bikes, and Blooms was born.

I’ve been writing professionally for over 20 years on business to women’s issues, and everything in between including travel, of course.

I live in southern New Jersey with my husband Bill and our 6 fur babies. All rescues!
