Wisconsin Public Radio interviews #1 & 2

Writing the first draft of Falling Uphill in Guatemala

I wrote the first draft of Falling Uphill in Antigua, Guatemala. Often I took notes while atop the roof of my hotel below. Doesn't this look like an author's dream? I recommend all writer's to get of their box and go somewhere inspirational.

Today’s interview is with Scott Stoll, author of the book Falling Uphill, founder of the adventure travel community The Argonauts, and perpetual traveller.  He’s currently cycling around the world.  Yes, cycling – as in on a bicycle.

Falling Uphill sample chapters

Here is one of the funniest chapters about how my friend Edwin traded a pen for a sheep as he tried to teach a Tibetian shepherd a "lesson". Also included is a video chapter about a heart-warming story of sharing a meal in a mud hut high in the Andes Mountains.
