One of my favorite people that I've lived with in college (out of the 40 strangers that I've lived with at some point), has joined/started a NPO called Tour For Equality. The have biked a course through the southern U.S. to the West, and have spent the last couple months biking through parts of Asia, talking to people on the street level about gender and social equality. I've just spent an hour or so reading their beautifully written stories about their experiences, which they so happen to record on blogger. Here are the links to their blog and official website:

Overall, it's a very strange blend of activism, tourism, and physical challenge...but very inspiring to say the least.
