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.
