John Boyd and Beth Cramer are librarians at Appalachian State University (Boone, NC) that like to ride bicycles and motorcycles, travel, and hang out with our kids, family, and friends. We have had the good fortune to travel in Asia, the Americas, Africa, and Europe over the last ten years. 

In our 50s and 60s, we now have the opportunity to travel for three months during the summer, plus one month over winter break. After raising two children and reaching a level of security ourselves, we are down-sizing and planning to travel throughout the world by bicycle.
