Arianna Martinez knew when she was a little girl that she would be pub–lishedby the time she was 21 and while a travel guide isn′t quite what shehad in mind, she thinks it makes for a good story. She fancies herself fullof good stories. Arianna is a student at Purchase College, where she hasdiscovered an unexpected passion for Political Economy. She puts hercreative efforts towards the up–and–coming online cultural magazine the.blowup.com. Arianna thinks traveling is as necessary as chocolate, appre–ciatescritical and clever discourse, and is excited about the prospect ofgraduate school. She lives for certain people and certain places that keepher feeling lucky, specifically her sister, her family, her friends, Spain, andNYC. She would note that on her first day of kindergarten she dictated abio to her teacher that said, "My name is Arianna Martinez. I was bornin NYC. I have one sister and a cat. I like to write books and watch TV." Strangely, these things are still relevant. She hopes they will still be rele–vant15 years from now, too.

A recent graduate of SUNY Albany, Mike Livermore has never taken acab for a distance less than 2 miles, and he never will. When you speedaround at 50 mph, you miss all the good stuff. However, when youstumble around at 5:00 am....Learning foreign tongues, drinking,smelling, talking about real wine, reading the writings of crazy philoso–phers,daydreaming, seeing everything and not photographing anything,talking to genuine people, sleeping in strange beds, and engaging in aneternal search for the authentic are a few of Mike′s favorite things. Whilehe sometimes gets a little confused as he oscillates between his variouspersonalities as an outdoor addict, a stoic self–denying radical philoso–pher,a grassroots environmental organizer, and a travel bum, Mike haslearned that lunacy is a gift, when you learn to nurture it.
