Travel Writer Nan K. Chase Traces Four Decades Of Heartwarming Travel Storytelling
During a 40-year freelance career, Nan K. Chase has written about French Catalonia, urban wilderness in San Francisco, hunting for gemstones in North Carolina, and dozens of other off-beat topics and destinations.
Nan shares how she became a travel writer and what it was like before computers, the Internet, and plastic diapers. And find out how her wanderlust shifted over the years and how she navigates traveling today.
Her work has appeared in the Washington Post, New York Times, Southern Living, and Air & Space Magazine. Nan tells a great story about how that one happened!
With North Carolina her home base for four decades, Nan relocated five years ago to the wilds of Southwest Virginia, where she now writes about wildflowers, bicycling, and learning to shoot. She is the author of "Asheville: A History," and "Lost Restaurants of Asheville," as well as two books about the edible, drinkable landscape.
An enchanting trip down memory lane. A must listen!
