Travel Writing Travels On

I don’t know about others but I get jazzed hearing about other writer’s news and growth. It seems to be happening at a faster pace then I can ever recall. Some prime examples are Tim Leffel’s Perceptive Travel and his soon to be out book for Travelers’ Tales not to mention co-authoring a book called Hip Hop, Inc. Jen Leo’s Thong Also Rises is very cool and she is working on a new concept called viral marketing. Rolf Potts now has a column on Yahoo. World Hum keeps humming along and just gets better. Max’s new GoNOMAD Café in South Deerfield is a great undertaking. David Farley and Jessie Sholl’s new TT book on Prague has turned me into a fan of David’s writing.

We all have different styles, backgrounds and methods but we share a mistress, travel. I cruise all of their sites frequently because it motivates and stimulates. We all share a constant struggle of earning but keep moving ahead. I am finally getting back into some print work and loving it. I love that my column for the Lincoln Eagle can be anything I want and I think these folks should be shared with readers. I love my new outlets such as the Hartford Courant and Preview CT. This fifty year old feels twenty-five and is still loving adventures like jumping off the Macau Tower or hiking under the Northern Lights in Norway at 40 below. Thanks to them all for sharing their lives.
