We are: CazzMatt! (Cassie & Matt) From San Francisco and we’ve just won a $10,000 Australian Adventure thanks to OZ Experience for our WINNING video.
We love: animals, the environment, the beach, and Matt loves to eat…a lot!
We’re going: all over Australia. First we fly from Sydney to Perth, then trek up the west coast to Broome. We’ll then fly over to Cairns and slowly travel down the east coast all the way to Tasmania, then its a straight shot up the center through Alice Springs ending in Darwin. And all along the way we’ll be doing loads of cool stuff, like sailing the Whitsundays, snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef, swimming with whale sharks, visiting Uluru, the cage of death in Darwin, and much much more!

We are: Bernard Pollack and Danielle Nierenberg
We’re hoping to : bring stories of hope from across Africa to as large an audience as possible. We will tell the stories that aren’t being told – from oil workers fighting to have a union in Nigeria to innovative ways farmers and pastoralists are coping with climate change. And all via a Sony handycam, a 8-year old laptop, and sporadic internet connections
We’re going to: nearly every country in Africa and at every stop meeting with farmers, community organizers, labor activists/leaders, unions, non-governmental organization (NGOs), the funding and donor communities, and local press.
