New Podcast Interview: Talking Travel, Writing, and Cáceres


I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Nathan James Thomas from Intrepid Times for a wide-ranging podcast interview where we dive into the heart of travel writing—and the heart of Extremadura. From the winding medieval streets of Cáceres to the winding paths of the writing life, we cover it all, of course, my new book, Stories Left in Stone, Trails and Traces in Cáceres, Spain.

We talk about what it means to write from a place, not just about it, how I ended up living in this quiet corner of Spain, and the challenges (and rewards) of telling real stories from the road.

If you're curious about life beyond the guidebooks—or just want to hear a few behind-the-scenes tales from a working travel writer—give it a listen!
