Do you know I travel 25000 miles a trip and two trips a year? 

I have a little body but a big dream: to follow the sun. Being able to fly 25,000 miles in three months to opposite ends of the earth is a daunting task, but nothing seems impossible to us.

Team SusTern thinks we represent their values and vision in many ways: dreaming big and working hard, and our pole-to-pole migration pattern relates to their care for the planet. Cool, eh!
