AROUND THE WORLD

Seeking a SAG driver(s) for My Dog - Spring 2012   created: 02/22/2012
I am a 51-year-old female open to cycling almost anywhere in the USA, Europe, or the Middle East. I have a dog with whom I travel. I'm not yet strong enough to tow her, thus, until I am able to tow her and my gear, it would be great to have assistance. If you are traveling for three to six weeks in any of these locations and would like to offer support (either sag or towing her w/your bike); I can offer money or barter my skills. I rode across the USA 14 years ago and ready to ride again.

Filming documentary: San Francisco to Jackson, MS   created: 03/06/2012
I'm intending to leave around early September but can be a bit flexible on this, and head through the Sierra Nevadas, past the Grand Canyon, and down through Austin, Baton Rouge, and up to Jackson. I would really appreciate a travel companion as a lot of the places on the trip will be quite isolated and for safety it's probably best to have two people. Plenty of stops to adventure and film people. I'm 22 so a similar age is preferable. If you know anything about film that's a bonus too!
