If you’ve ever wondered how or why I got into writing about travel, you might find this interesting. My longtime friend and former colleague, Victoria Babu invited me for a sit down interview as part of her ongoing author series on the Higher Education Channel (HEC).

It was fun to share the real reason I started doing road trips and what inspired me to write my latest book, Finding The American Dream.

True story - I was at an awards show about 15 year True story - I was at an awards show about 15 years ago, and down the red carpet walked Keith Urban, and his “date” - Loretta Lynn. Every reporter swooned over Urban, and I was the only one that talked to Miss Loretta. She is absolute country music royalty and I’m glad she has a statue here now at the Ryman Auditorium. #countrymusic #travel #lorettalynn #rymanauditorium #nashville #tnvacation #ontheroad #downtown #usa #nash

Martin Luther King, Jr lived here as Pastor of Dex Martin Luther King, Jr lived here as Pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama from 1954-1960. I featured the house, which you can still tour, in my latest book, Finding The American Dream. 

While I was there in February 2019, I happened to notice a man from the neighborhood walk by the house and stop in his tracks. He dropped to his knees and said a quick prayer, before continuing his walk. It was pretty touching, and a reminder of what MLK meant to many people who grew up in that generation.
