There are Trips and There are Journeys
"In travel writing there's the story you're sent to report and then there's the story behind the scenes — with the latter always vastly more interesting.” Award-winning travel writer and actor Andrew McCarthy tells stories that are personal and revealing in an effort to create identification in the reader. With that identification also comes connection and emotional investment. Hear how Andrew shares stories that lessen the gap between the two to get his readers engaged. 
Andrew McCarthy is the editor-at-large at National Geographic Traveler. Connect with Andrew on Twitter.
Book signing: 1–1:30 p.m. Books will be available for purchase.
