Crew members originated from different parts of North America and arrived with no prior introduction.  I found it miraculous that we all managed to have our basic needs met despite working tirelessly to keep the tour afloat.  The bus often broke down, and we were challenged to work together to find mechanics who could address our converted vehicle. We also continuously collaborated to find our own fuel sources, navigate routes through cities, organize contacts for the use of running water, and maintain correspondence with tour managers, sponsors, and Whole Foods representatives. My personal, social, and professional life became integrated, and I had to learn how to stay grounded and efficient while constantly moving. I was challenged to remain clear and focused and also understanding of the needs and sensitivities of others. People of all ages, lifestyles, and socioeconomic and political backgrounds welcomed our crew with questions about sustainability as a practice.  I took the on the role of posting a regular blog to keep the public current on the tour through the perspective of a crew member.
