Greetings. I was wondering if any readers of this forum knew of any participants on expeditions that may work for our show. I am a researcher for the upcoming cable television series entitled "Radical Sabbaticals." This series will air on a new television network called FineLiving, launching in early 2002. FineLiving is owned by Scripps Networks, who also owns the Food Network, Home and Garden Television, and DIY.

"Radical Sabbaticals" are passionate, inspirational stories about successful, professional people who take breaks from their careers to pursue a dream, and plan to return to work. We are looking for over-30 dreamers who are planning on leaving soon for a sabbatical/ leave of absence. Each half-hour episode will focus on one person’s story: part inspirational and part how-to. Why are you taking a break? How did you choose what to do for your sabbatical?

We begin shooting soon, so if you or someone you know fits our profile, please contact me as soon as possible.
