Although the three countries share thousands of miles of common borders, the countries of Canada, Mexico and the United States could not be more different.  Finding Forty will be heading to a border town on the US-Mexico line and various regions of the United States, including the upper mountain west and the deep south.

Interviews in the mountain west are slated for early July.

More details coming soon as this section is planned — Click below to see photos from this region.

First Destinations Booked!

Good Morning!  Happy to report I have booked my first domestic trip for Finding Forty!  I will be heading to Big Sky Country (Colorado/Wyoming) and the midwest (Nebraska/Kansas) later in June searching for women Finding Forty where the land is big and many struggle to keep their families afloat living off what they can farm.

Do you have input on what cities/areas I should visit?  Please post comments here.  Thank you!
