Beth Collins In this photo, I was…In a glider plane over the north shore of Oahu with my dad. He had just read David Gessner's Soaring with Fidel, which is about the migration of Ospreys, and was fascinated by the way the birds ride thermal currents.

From my last trip, I brought back…Li hing mango and Hawaiian Sun brand guava nectar from Oahu
My most-prized passport stamp is…Hungary, where I taught English for a year
My favorite travel-inspiring movie is…Into the Wild; it reminded me that there's a lot of this country I haven't seen yet
