with Ned Raynolds
Ned is a lifelong cyclist, from commuting to work by bicycle while living in Washington DC and San Francisco, or training for Olympic and Sprint distance triathlons over the years (the Santa Barbara, Donner Lake, and Niantic Bay (CT) are favorites), but it was a pre-35th U.S. Coast Guard Academy class reunion ride traversing Long Island over 4 days that got Ned hooked on bicycle touring.

with Penny Wood/ Dr. Zoolittle
You don’t need a science degree, deep pockets or trips to specialists. Its much easier than that. You just need someone who has walked your path and found out there is so much more that can be done to prevent, to protect and to reverse biological damage and disease.
​
Someone who has studied the science for you and can translate it into practical steps.
Someone who has devoted their life to providing and advancing animal welfare and wants to empower every Pet Parent to be an expert too.
Because no matter your pet’s age, today is the best day to start building their new protective ‘suit of longevity-armour’: natural health, resilience, immunity, and youthfulness.
​

with Corinna Cooke
I am an International Makeup Artist, Travel Blogger, former Magazine Beauty Director, and very proudly, a Best Selling Author.
I write books about my greatest passion in life, traveling in Italy. Every day that I’m not in Italy I am daydreaming about being there.
When I was growing up I wanted to be an archaeologist. I dreamed about digs in exotic locales around the world, discovering ancient ruins and celebrating lost cultures. That bubble burst when I realized I didn’t like getting dirty. So I became a Makeup Artist instead, traveling the world, studying history and art and learning languages along the way.

with Duchess DJ Love
Duchess DJ Love, Gallivanting Like A Royal, (Author of her 1st book, TravelTude, which is available on Amazon.com.) My website is https://GallivantingLikeARoyal.com. A royale journey awaits all, even on a budget. Gallivant around the world with Duchess DJ Love. My theme is to share love everywhere I go. My travels include visiting all 50 states and 10 countries abroad. Join me on my adventures; experience sites through my lens and southern voice. Am I a relative of the Royal Family? Well that depends. My ancestry does go way, way, way back to England, but I am a royal child of God. Why not a Queen? That makes me think of a prim and proper lady. Doesn't quite capture my personality. Ok, what about a Princess? Hmm..seems a bit too privileged for me.
Hence, I choose to be a Duchess. I want to make the world a better place, one heart at a time. Reminding me of the Coca-Cola song, I'd like to teach the world to sing (in perfect harmony).

with Debby Bradford
Debby Bradford, also known as Dazzle's Mom, has been traveling her whole life, then learned a lot about flying with pets when she moved to the Caribbean in 2011. Since then, her pets have flown to Hawai'i, all over the continental USA, and to and within the United Kingdom and Europe. Five-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel "Dazzle" lives with her in their motorhome, where they have learned a lot about pet travel including safety, veterinary care, and feeding while away from home. Dazzle and Debby most recently spent four months in the UK and Europe traveling by plane, train, subway, bus, taxi, ferry, and tram, returning to the USA on the Queen Mary 2. Traveling with her dog made Debby's overseas experience exponentially more pleasurable, and she encourages everyone to step outside their comfort zone and just do it.

with Liza Lomax
When I was younger, all the girls in school looked better then me, I thought. All the women in fashion magazines were all beautiful and skinny. I am wanted to emulate them. I thought that was what I was supposed to look like.
Why could I just look like someone else? Why could I not be someone else? Why can’t I just look like the people in magazines, on TV, in the movies? These questions flooded my mind constantly over and over.
