How do you become a travel writer? Is it the best job in the world? Tom Brosnahan went to Turkey in 1968 as a US Peace Corps Volunteer to teach English. He discovered a beautiful country, friendly people, excellent cuisine, and a deep history and culture.

He made the leap from teaching to travel writing during his second Peace Corps year. His first guidebook became a best-seller, and he never looked back. Following years took him on adventures throughout the Mediterranean and the world. It's all here, along with a lot of humor, history and culture.
