Noelle Talmon enjoys covering space oddities and unusual earthly events, such as congress’s UFO hearings and Mongolian eagle hunting. When she’s not diving deep into the origin of the quietest place in America or learning why Hemingway’s cats had six toes, she’s either riding her Indian Scout Bobber or traveling to the fjords of Norway and other faraway places.
