A major event in my life was:
It's not one event, but many — I've traveled to more than 50 countries on 6 continents, circumnavigating the globe twice.
Now I feel connected to pretty much the whole planet.
Eventually I landed a gig as a travel writer for Forbes Traveler, which was great, and that led to a deal with Bloomsbury for my next book.
