Nora Dunn has been a professional wanderer for the past 3.5 years. During that time she has visited 21 countries on five continents. With regular writing gigs at Transitions Abroad and Wisebread, and a possible future travel TV show, she has no plan to slow down any time soon.
Last month I read in the news that a team of scientists in China’s Hubei province were preparing to mount a search for the Yeti, or Bigfoot, in the Shennongjia Forest Region. One article said that the scientists were looking for foreigners to join the hunt. They wanted men “between 25 and 40 years old. With good physical health, they should also have a basic knowledge of biology and know how to use a camera”.
Passports With Purpose is a charity run by travel bloggers that I got involved with this year after interviewing one of the founders. PWP was founded by Debbie Dubrow, Pam Mandel,Beth Whitman and Michelle Duffy in 2008. That year they raised $7,400 for Heifer International. In 2009 they blew away their goal of raising $14,000 to build a school in Cambodia, and raised $30,000, so they threw in a vegetable garden, a clean well, and a school nurse, in a addition to building the school. The school, which was built with help from American Assistance for Cambodia, is already finished.
I was recently contacted for an interview by Shane Donovan at the Working Traveller. The interview was posted a couple of days ago. You can read it here: http://www.the-working-traveller.com/why-i-live-in-tainan/
