Travel And Adventure Writing

Spring has sprung across most of the nation, and it's that time of year when people get the urge to travel and shake off the winter blues. Join Ray Suarez for a discussion of traveling and finding those far-off places with two noted writers who've spanned the globe. They'll talk about risk-taking, and what endless travel does to a person's sense of home and place, plus, they'll talk about how it's getting harder and harder to get away from it all.
