WATCH: The Wild World of Travel Writing

Curious about how to break into this enviable beat? Veteran travel writer Thomas Swick told us how his career got off the ground—and how he's kept it going for decades.

What a treat it was to chat last week with Thomas Swick, a longtime travel writer whose writing has been published in Afar, Smithsonian, Oxford American, Missouri Review, Ploughshares and many other publications, and has been selected to appear in various anthologies, including six (!) editions of The Best American Travel Writing.

Thomas has been traveling the world and finding things to write home about for several decades, and he has the stories and scars to prove it. The full video of our live chat is available for paid members—just click play above.

And don’t miss Thomas’ memoir: Falling into Place: A Story of Love, Poland, and the Making of a Travel Writer.
