From Paige

I am really excited to have the opportunity to write for Geography at About.com and hope to share my passion for geography with everyone visiting the website. Geography is such a diverse subject that it can be linked to everyone and every place in the world. It covers the past, present and future and is, therefore, vital to our everyday existence and inextricably part of life itself.
