MEGAN MARGISON
WRITER AND STUNT MOTORCYCLIST
A love for motorcycles and a thirst for adventure are truly in Megan Margeson's DNA. Having grown up in a household where "family bonding" meant dirt bike riding and going for rides on her parents' choppers, it only makes sense that Megan would grow to share a passion for life on two-wheels. She and her parents ride thousands of miles together every year, all three on old-school choppers built by her father. "You learn to go with the flow on motorcycle trips, especially when you're riding old bikes. The mechanical issues, unpredictable weather, and route adjustments just add to the adventure. The fact that I get to share these experiences with my parents makes it that much more special." Megan is a marketing associate, writer, and professional stunt motorcyclist.
DUSTIN NERE
OUTDOOR ENTHUSIAST AND TRAVELER
The outdoors has always been a passion for Dustin, from hunting and fishing with his family as a kid, to hiking 14ers, backcountry skiing, mountain biking, and camping in the Rocky Mountains. In recent years, he’s made traveling and being outdoors more of a priority. Really, the first priority. About 3 years ago Dustin left his 15 year career, sold his house and most of his belongings, and hit the road on his adventure bike. After 2 years living on a motorcycle and sleeping mostly in a tent, he’s working on creating a sustainable lifestyle to keep travel, adventure, and the great outdoors a top priority.
MEGHAN WHITE
UNDERWATER CHRONICLES
I am just your average midwestern girl, a bartender turned soldier turned house-roofer turned college student turned SCUBA instructor turned traveler turned Graduate student turned married w/ an amazing son turned forever an adventurer. I have a penchant for saying "yes" to opportunities and that has led me to have some wild stories that will fill many hours at a party and hopefully add some laughter to your life!
DARWIN LONGFELLOW
PRAIRIE DANCER
Darwin has been riding horses since she was knee high to a grasshopper, then translated that passion to motorcycles. She writes about backcountry misadventures on her personal blog, mostly detailing the things you SHOULDN'T do... if you wanna survive. Hey: if you ain't laughing, you're crying... and to be honest: there are a lot of times she's not laughing.
ALICIA MERRELL
AIMLESS WANDERER
“If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll end up someplace else.”
The daughter of an Air Force veteran, I grew up moving every 1-5 years. This has caused me to get “itchy” if I don’t travel often or completely uplift my roots every few years. I’ve lived in eight states (Alaska is home), Turkey, and South Korea. I believe in traveling with the intent to learn or challenge myself, although I also enjoy the classic aimless wandering. Writing, reading, hiking, attempting to make people laugh, daydreaming, and people-watching calm me, while scuba diving, live sporting events, and watching K-dramas excite me. Talents including finding cool things in other people’s trash, and sweating while thinking about it. I currently live outside Seoul, South Korea with Alex and Nabi.
