Tara Alan ’06 Traveling Around the World on a Bicycling Adventure
Tara Alan ’06 is on a bicycling adventure around the world. Traveling with Tyler Kellen, she embarked April 2 from Glasgow, Scotland, and as of June 28, they were making their way across France. They are biking between 50 and 80 kilometers each day.
The trip was 18 months in the planning, and the cyclists are documenting the journey through photos and journal entries at www.goingslowly.com.
“Apart from satisfying a desire to document our travels, we hope that our Web site will help anyone dreaming about a trip like this understand more clearly what it takes to pack up and leave the comforts of home behind for the excitement and adventure of the open road,” Tara says.
Tara’s father, Mark Alan of Champaign, Ill., says his daughter “is a renaissance woman and has put her varied talents and skills to work in this project. I invite you to ‘join’ them on their journey.”
Tara graduated from Guilford with a bachelor’s degree in art and a concentration in women’s studies.
