Does Travel Misadventure Get More Attention?
In this post, I reflect on the importance of conflict in storytelling. After exploring Wendy Dale’s insights on memoir writing, I wonder if my own tales—like collecting shells on a serene beach—are too mundane. Perhaps you’re more drawn to stories filled with chaos, like getting kicked out of a rental in Slovenia or being caught in a storm that changed history.
How It All Started
I travel because I can’t NOT travel. After setting a goal to visit 30 countries before 30, I reached 42 by 2024. Now, I aim for 60 by 60—18 countries in 9 years. It’s costly, but totally do-able. Travel changes you, and I’m ready for the next adventure.
