    Ep. 91 - Cristen Hemingway Jaynes: Ernest's Way

    In this episode I speak with Cristen Hemingway Jaynes, who is the author of Ernest's Way, a travel biography about her great-grandfather, Ernest Hemingway. The book traces Hemingway’s world travels and life abroad. Each chapter is dedicated to a different place like Key West, Paris, or Venice. And she takes you through all his favorite haunts, where he lived, where he ate, and of course, where he drank. It's part travel guide and part biography. Christen holds an MA in Creative Writing from Birkbeck, University of London. She has a JD and an Ocean & Coastal Law Certificate from University of Oregon School of Law. She is a writer at EcoWatch and a passionate advocate for environmental issues.  Cristen is the author of a short story collection called The Smallest of Entryways. And she’s working on another book with stories about her travels around the US and Europe.

    Madison Tuff: Traveling in Taliban-Controlled Afghanistan and Volunteering on Ukrainian Front Lines

    Madison Tuff is an amazing human being. Born and raised in Canada, but truly a citizen of the world. In my travels I have met many adventrous travelers, but she takes it to another level. In this episode, she explains how she became interested in traveling to off the beaten path places and fell in love with experiencing new cultures. She visited North Korea, Afghanistan, Sudan, and many other places that most of us would never dream of. And she recently returned from volunteering on the front lines of Bakhmut, Ukraine with an organization that was helping evacuate citizens from the brutal warzone that is the current situation. It was so inspirational speaking with Madison and this is one you don't wanna miss!
