Classic Speaking of Travel Rerun: Travel Writer Pico Iyer Opens Our Hearts About The World
Speaking of Travel is celebrating our 10-year anniversary by revisiting classic Speaking of Travel conversations from our first decade, like this one with Pico Iyer, essayist and author, best known for his travel writing and one of the most revered and respected travel writers alive today.
Pico brings an understanding of the beauty and wisdom of cultural differences and shares how an emerging global culture benefits your travel adventures how we can all be more mindful travelers.
For over four decades, he’s written 16 books, translated into 23 languages, on subjects ranging from the Dalai Lama to globalism, from the Cuban Revolution to Islamic mysticism. For Pico, travel is a professional devotion as much as a spiritual one.
Travel is a key theme in most of Pico's works. He tries to see within a society or way of life from an outsider's perspective. Pico shares his thoughts and curiosity about the bigger world to help us rethink assumptions and to be mindful about new ideas and insights.
Get ready to dive into Pico's world of thought-provoking stories and unforgettable insights! Whether he's in a Benedictine hermitage or suburban Japan, his quest for understanding the world is ongoing and endlessly fascinating. “A person susceptible to "wanderlust" is not so much addicted to movement as committed to transformation.” Thank you Pico!
A must listen. Only on Speaking of Travel. Find out more about Pico Iyer.
