At times Carmen Madrid ("Doin'the Dunes," "Heels on Wheels") finds it difficult to choose between writing and breathing. A freelance travel and opinion writer, she grew up in California but now does her scribbling in the hills of New Hampshire. She is co-founder of an independent book publishing company, The Armarium Press, and enjoys sharing anecdotes and thoughts about food, wine, travel, and life on such sites as RecreationFun.net. Having spent more than 20 years in the corporate arena, half of it in management, she always thinks someone is waiting to hear her opinion. Her own car collection has included a 1969 Mustang and 1970 Chevy Luv Truck, to name a few. Follow her online at Twitter.com/HaveCarWillTrvl.

Emmy-nominated cameraman, photographer, and former professional kayaker Dan Campbell-Lloyd ("Doin' the Dunes") has become one of the action sports industry's most trusted and talked about camera talents. His work creates unique imagery that spans film, television, and the web, while seamlessly bridging the gap from scene to screen. Immersing himself in the heart-pounding moments of adventure, he allows the viewer to journey inside those split seconds of time when ultimate focus, concentration, and provocation culminate in action sports. His skills represent constant evolution driven by the moment and the never-ending progress of the athletes he works with. Visit his blog to go behind the scenes on a photo shoot, and browse his ShowitSite gallery and ZenFolio portfolio, which contains more of his Morocco and Gazelle Rally photographs.

A freelance travel writer and seasoned international traveler who hails from Jacksonville, Florida, Debi Lander ("Road-Trip Food") considers photography her hobby and has a keen interest in Cs: cars, cooking, and children (she's known as Mimi to her five grandkids), and visits to castles, cathedrals, and the Caribbean. She is a former marathon runner whose body told her to switch to yoga. Her AutomotiveTraveler.com blog, Bimmer Dreamer, recounts numerous sagas of road trips taken in her 550i BMW, acquired through European delivery in Munich. Read more of Debi Lander's writings on her website, ByLanderSea.com, or at her travel journal and food blog, By~Lander~Sea Food Tales.

Filmmaker and Toronto native Edward Peghin ("Chop Cut Nu-Build") is the producer and director of the critically acclaimed Chop Cut Rebuild. As COO and producer at a leading animation studio in Canada, he supervised such projects as YTV's Captain Flamingo and the Teletoon/Cartoon Network Gemini- and BAFTA-nominated show Atomic Betty. A Leo-nominated producer and director of Slightly Bent TV and Suckerpunch for Canada's Comedy Network, he has produced commercials for the U.S. ad agency Adams & Knight and supervised several seasons of live-action and animation production for the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., Warner Bros. Animation, and BBC Kids. A former attorney, he lives in the L.A. area with his wife Marita Molloy and their three Norwich Terriers.

As an industry analyst, market forecaster, marketing strategist, writer, and historian, Sam Fiorani ("Paradise in the Poconos," "Freedom & Whiskey") has more slashes next to his name than a Hollywood mogul. He writes to tell stories about cars, to educate and inform, and to impress his 11th-grade English teacher, Mrs. Gardill, who told him to find a day job. His current projects include a regular newspaper column, a book on little-known cars of the 1980s, staying ahead of the oil spewing from his MG, and finding sponsors for the restoration of his 20-year-old pocket rocket. Follow Sam Fiorani on Twitter, read his column online, and check out his YouTube channel.

Career General Motors guy Joseph Babiasz ("Cruising Round-Up") continues to follow his twin passions of cars and travel. After retiring from GM, he owned West Coast Car Connection, a classic car restoration and sales operation that sold solid Southern California iron, and then launched Collector Car Enterprise to offer seminars on purchasing quality collector cars. A monthly contributor to four national automotive magazines, he has a nose to sniff out travel bargains and enjoys hopping on a cruise ship on a whim, especially if the price is low. He's always said there is no such thing as a bad cruise, and after 26, we think he should know.
