A 10,000 Mile Quest for Birds: An Interview with Malkolm, Ken and Wendy

15-year old Malkolm is on a year-long 10,000 mile bike-trip across North America with his parents, Ken and Wendy. Why? Birds, to put it simply.

They're on what's known by bird lovers as a Big Year, trying to catch a glimpse of as many types of bird as they can. But they're doing it with two key differences: by cycling the entire way, they're making an important point about fossil-fuel-free transportation; and they're also raising money for bird conservation.

Rambling Traveler: An Interview with Stacy

Travel does not necessarily have to involve a lot of money or a lot of time. Nor does it need to involve a flight overseas. Truly rewarding travel experiences can be enjoyed much closer to home, as people like Stacy from Rambling Traveler will testify. Many of her trips are day trips or weekends away around her home in Minnesota, though she also takes every opportunity she can get to head further afield, whether it be a volunteering trip down to Guatemala or an upcoming trip to Scotland.
