Tell me all about your trip! It's a request that follows travelers
as they head out into the world, and one of the first things they
hear when they return. When we leave our homes to explore the wider
world, we feel compelled to capture the experiences and bring the
story home. But for those who don't think of themselves as writers,
putting experiences into words can become more stressful than
inspirational.Writing Abroad is meant for travelers of all
backgrounds and writing levels: a student embarking on overseas
study; a retiree realizing a dream of seeing China; a Peace Corps
worker in Kenya. All can benefit from documenting their adventures.
Through practical advice and adaptable exercises, this guide will
help travelers hone their observational skills, conduct research
and interviews, choose an appropriate literary form and incorporate
photos and videos into their writing. Writing about travel is more
than just safeguarding memories it can transform experiences and
tease out new realizations. With Writing Abroad, travelers will be
able to deepen their understanding of other cultures and write
about that new awareness in clear and vivid prose.

Peter Chilson's fiction debut delivers a fascinating,
heart-wrenching view of modern African culture, filtered through
the lens of the West. In a novella and four short stories, Chilson,
who traveled to Africa first as a Peace Corps volunteer and later
as a freelance journalist, uses a phrase borrowed from biology to
point out how our "disturbance-loving species" thrives in the most
chaotic, seemingly unlivable situations. As this remarkable
collection explores the experiences of Americans struggling to cope
with the political and social upheaval of life in Africa and of
Africans acclimating to life in the United States, Chilson captures
in vivid detail the strange, exhilarating frisson between cultures.
