Recently I spoke with Nathan James Thomas, editor of the excellent online travel magazine Intrepid Times, and our conversation is now available: https://intrepidtimes.com/2026/07/thomas-swick-on-why-bad-travelers-can-make-the-best-travel-writers/
We talked about my memoir, Poland (where Nathan now lives), unsung places, and travel writing, including the reason bad travelers often make good travel writers.
