Escape Clauses - Getting Away With a Travel Writing Life

Picture
Travel

When people ask Bob Payne how to get started as a travel writer, he often tells them that running away from home at 15 and hitchhiking alone around America is what worked for him. In Escape Clauses, he chronicles how he parlayed that first solo adventure into decades of world travel by seeking out strangers in far places and making their stories a part of his own.
