Where will you be next Wednesday?

I’ll be a guest speaker on Jeff Stark’s series “Where have you been?”, along with my col­league Tim Kantz. We’ll be at Blue­stock­ings Book­store on Wednes­day, Feb­ru­ary 20th at 7pm. I was a guest at the inau­gural “Where have you been?” almost a year and a half ago.  The series of monthly inter­views on travel has grown into a lively, unex­pected, and inevitably sat­is­fy­ing event.  I’m stoked to be back now that the event has grown in momen­tum and become on of Bluestocking’s most con­sis­tently well attended and antic­i­pated reg­u­lar event.

Where Have You Been?

Sto­ries about travel and far-away places. New York­ers go all over the
world but the city has a way of swal­low­ing their home­com­ings. Orbit
the earth and your friends just ask if you missed the pizza. This
home­spun live talk show offers a chance for trav­el­ers to tell
sto­ries, to bring the world home and share it with the rest of us —
trav­el­ers as well as those of us who don’t get out much.

Tonight fea­tures inter­views with three intre­pids: Jef Wolfy Scharf
inves­ti­gates the toi­lets of Europe, Ida Benedetto and Tim Kantz team
up with fair trade cof­fee farm­ers in West­ern Guatemala, and Anas­ta­sia
Andino palled around Thai­land with a mon­key. Bonus: slides from a
pauper’s ceme­tery in New Orleans.

Inter­views by Jeff Stark. Gor­geous slideshows tightly edited and
mer­ci­fully short.
