Travel writing is never as easy as people think. Behind the words are 3:30AM calls to get a sunrise shot… prayers that the herds of Sacred Cow or Cape Buffalo cross your path without malice … and arrays of “traditional” food waiting to test taste buds and tummy tolerance.
Some things I have learned from years of both traveling and travel writing: Do your research before leaving. Respect a country’s customs, dress, and demeanor. Ask questions in non-judgmental ways. Never assume ours is the best way: A camel gets across a desert with less maintenance than a jeep.
Listen to even the simplest voice, more times than not, it is the revelation. It’s a big world.
