Fellow author Nora D’Ecclesis interviewed me this week on her podcast about the importance of travel. Click here to hear our conversation, which includes fascinating insights about Malta, Panama, the Netherlands, Spain, and Germany.

I don’t doubt the importance of travel. But I know it’s a privilege to have seen many parts of the world and met intriguing people there. Hopefully this blog, and podcasts like Nora’s, can bring a bit of that wonder to folks who otherwise might not get the chance to experience it in person.
