My next guest has me in awe! Journalist Kim Barker's travels make all of my adventures abroad seem like Travel Lite, & I don't mind telling her, because she's earned every single one of her stories. As the South Asia Bureau Chief for the Chicago Tribune from 2004 to 2009, Kim has covered major stories like the assassination of former Prime Minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto, & the rising militancy in both Pakistan & Afghanistan. Kim shared some of her hair-raising tales with me at

I've been looking forward to speaking with Matt Stabile, the founder and editor in chief of TheExpeditioner.com, for quite a while now. That's mainly because of his irreverent take on travel. After all, life on the road is supposed to be fun, & Matt tells it like it is, both on his blog & in his book "The Expeditioner's Guide to the World."I hope you enjoy our conversation at Hostelling International in New York as much as I did, & that it inspires you to get out there &

Let me tell you a story. Last April, I spoke at the NY Travel Festival, & I met the most amazing girl named Kelly Lewis. Kelly's the founder of Go! Girl Guides, a guidebook series that's tailored toward the specific needs of women on the road. After the festival, we went to the nearest Irish pub with my friend Masha Vapnitchnaia, & between the three of us, we came up with the idea to start a women's travel festival. I don't know, maybe it was the pints that inspired us...But the difference

If you're a huge outdoor buff like I am, then my next guest is for you! Peter Potterfield has spent the past several decades climbing some of the most treacherous peaks & mountain ranges in the world, & has spent countless hours exploring backcountry that man has never seen before.Then in the '90s, Peter took a huge fall that nearly cost him his life, which he writes about eloquently in his highly acclaimed book "In the Zone: Epic Survival Stories from the Mountaineering World."

It is my honor to bring you my next guest speaker! Alison Wright is an award-winning photographer (in fact, I'm sure you've seen her work grace the pages of National Geographic for decades now), & she's also a very talented travel writer. She has a new book out that documents the beautiful nomadic & tribal people around the world called "Face to Face: Portraits of the Human Spirit."But we're going to be speaking mainly about her tragic accident that nearly left her dead on the side

It is my absolute pleasure to bring you the brilliant Jason Cochran. And I mean brilliant, not just in travel, but also his insights about the entire media industry, plus he's a huge history buff. I'm thrilled that Jason & I share a common background as previous editors at Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel magazine, so listen to his tips about traveling on a budget, not getting scammed abroad, & what it's like to work for the legendary Mr. Frommer.I'm also pleased to announce that Jason is the

To say that my next guest has a personality that's larger than life would be an understatement! Likewise, if I were to say that she's a successful travel writer, that would be putting it mildly as well.AnneLise Sorensen has had a colorful & fascinating life with a full career to match, & she's always such a sweetheart to divulge her words of wisdom to her fans...including me!Make sure to keep an eye out for more information about her new book on her website www.AnneLiseSorensen.com, and her

I'm so honored to be speaking to my next guest, who pretty much is considered by everyone in the biz to be the godfather of travel writing! If I mentioned all of Don George's accolades & awards, we'd be here all day, so I'll have to point out just a few.

In 2012, I ran into my buddy, travel writer Rolf Potts, who was opening for legendary travel writer Pico Iyer at the University of Pennsylvania campus. When I mentioned to Rolf that I was writing a book, he said that I simply had to meet Rachel Friedman! Author of "The Good Girl's Guide to Getting Lost: A Memoir of Three Continents, Two Friends, & One Unexpected Adventure," Rolf loves that book. He even says so on the cover. I quote, "Friedman's coming-of-age memoir captures the

You may know my next guest as the guy from "Pretty In Pink." That 80's movie became so popular that it's now considered a cult classic from that decade. This entrenched Andrew McCarthy firmly into a group of young actors known simply as the Brat Pack. But I dare you to think that this is where his story ends...Andrew and I chat in New York about his transition into travel writing, and how seeing the world has changed his life, which he touches upon in his new book called, "The Longest

Today I chat with the lovely Holly Corbett, Amanda Pressner, & Jennifer Baggett about their popular book "The Lost Girls: Three Friends. Four Continents. One Unconventional Detour Around the World."

I'm very excited to bring you Marybeth Bond (better known as the Gutsy Traveler) whom I'm fortunate enough to call a mentor, but more importantly a kindred spirit & a friend. Around 20 years ago, when Marybeth was 30, she decided to travel the world solo for two years. When I was 34, I did the same, but for one year & with a lot more technology & information at my fingertips.Needless to say, Marybeth is my hero & I want to be her when I grow up! Today we talk about a new edition of

Rolf Potts is probably best known for his book “Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel,” which earned him a loyal following of devoted travelers & the distinguished title of “Jack Kerouac for the Internet age” from USA Today. Rolf’s second book, “Marco Polo Didn't Go There,” is equally impressive & is a collection of previously published essays & articles with some added juicy details behind some of his adventures.As you’ve probably guessed by now, Rolf is a
