That led her to a lifelong passion for geology and collecting and studying sands from around the world. She is a science writer, geologist and she oversees the sand collection at the Science Museum of Minnesota in Saint Paul. She serves as education advisor to the International Sand Collectors’ Society. Alice left England in 2006 and travelled to Asia, where she remained for seven years; her homes in Taipei, then Singapore, provided the perfect base for exploring the wealth of beautiful countries the continent has to offer. From Malaysia to Myanmar, Thailand to Taiwan, Alice loves to discover the history, politics and cultures unique to each nation. Mark Eveleigh prides himself on being a clear-sighted and versatile photojournalist. Undercover news assignments have taken him from besieged Zimbabwean farms to high-security Bolivian prisons, but charging African elephants, Spanish fighting bulls and a randy Peruvian llama have taught him the real importance of ‘journalistic footwork’. markeveleigh.com Stephanie is a globally adventurous soul, and her travels have taken her from Montana to Moscow and throughout Asia. She lives between Jakarta and Brisbane and has had numerous articles published on Indonesian culture, ethnic diversity and travel hot spots. She has even been known to work in the rice fields to get a story. Ryan Craggs is an editor and videographer in New York City. He has lived in Madrid, Chicago and Rome. His favourite spot on Earth is atop the terrace in Barcelona’s Park Güell, though the drum circle in Madrid’s El Retiro remains a close second. He lives for Spanish-language cinema, modernist art and that first deep breath while exploring a new place. Kate Clover besar di pantai berpasir putih.
