ABOUT ME
I'm a contributing writer for Slate. My work has also appeared in the New York Times, New York, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, and other wonderful (and less wonderful, and in some cases defunct) publications. I've received multiple Lowell Thomas awards from the Society of American Travel Writers, been excerpted three times in the Best American Travel Writing series, and won the 2005 Online Journalism Award for commentary. I grew up in Brookline, Mass., graduated from Brown University, and live in Washington, D.C.
BOOK
My first book, Grounded: A Down to Earth Journey Around the World, will be published by Riverhead Books in April 2010. It's a non-fiction travel book about my adventures circumnavigating the globe without using any aircraft.
TRAVEL ARTICLES
I've written several travel series for Slate, including:
Trying Really Hard to Like India
Tokyo on One Cliché a Day
The Mecca of the Mouse
Should I Move to Amsterdam?
