We have not checked in lately with our
man Josh Berman, who is constantly on the move and always doing interesting
things, so I figured I’d post an
interview Josh recently did for Transitions Abroad Magazine with travel guru and guidebook author, Joe Cummings.
Josh tracked Cummings down in Thailand where he had been, among other things, attending the Bangkok
Film Festival and penning his newest Lonely Planet tome. Cummings is prolific. He himself seems to have lost
count of the number of guidebooks and other publications he’s written, but leaves it up to someone who interviewed him a
while back to suggest that the number is up to 37 guidebooks and phrasebooks, as well as 13 coffee table books.
So take a minute and learn about the travel writing life from two sources for the topic, as both Josh and Joe qualify
as experts.< /p>
