So often we think of travel as a luxury afforded only to those with money and time to spare. But I prefer to live by Helen Keller’s less rigorous standard that life itself is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. In my travel writing, I explore off-yonder places, as well as close-to-home weekend excursions. For me, travel isn’t about going big or going home. It’s about going out and bringing home new perspectives.
