Today's guest is the author of The Footloose American (get it on Amazon), a travelogue following the footsteps of famed-writer Hunter S. Thompson across South America. This was a journey I wasn't aware he'd ever taken that Brian recreated, studied, pulled out the stories from and became an expert on. I'm curious about the trip, how that changed him, and what sorts of stories he found along the way.
Brian Kevin has written about travel, adventure, and culture for Travel and Leisure, Outside magazine, Sierra, Men's Journal and currently lives in Maine where he calls in from. In this episode, we dive right into his adventure and how a book comes out of a trip like that, as well as the transformative power travel can have on you, if you let it.
And be sure to stay tuned for the lightning round!
