Isn't "finding yourself" what kids do with backpacks in Europe? Not always. In this hour, go with a few brave radio producers into nature on missions of discovery — searching for old-growth trees, a trail built long ago, the Australian outback and what you can see with a new pair of glasses.

Speaking Through the Land

Australia
What does a journalist do when she can’t ask questions? Yingiya Guyulu takes Sherre Delys to his homeland and teaches her a thing or two about the proper time and place for a story. Produced by Sherre Delys.

Biking the Back Roads

Western United States
Biking the western back roads past rivers, reservations, and road kill, Barrett Golding finds the time to see how it all connects. Produced by Barrett Golding.

Chopping Down, Cropping Up

Sierra Madre, Mexico
Take a motorcycle trip into a hidden corner of the Mexican economy — the Sierra Madre, where the forests are coming down and the marijuana is cropping up. Produced by James Spring.

Seeing Sinaloa

Sinaola, Mexico
For 14 years, Luis Urrea was a clumsy barrio boy. Then, while on a trip to Mexico’s Sinaloa State, he got his first pair of glasses — and discovered a new kind of grace.

Footprints

Utah
As a young trail builder, Jon Miller decided to “take only pictures, leave only footprints.” Twenty years later, he returns to discover what a big footprint he’s left. Produced by Jon Miller.
