Booklust, Wanderlust--Review of "Country Driving"

7/17/2014

This week in my Booklust, Wanderlust column on The Displaced Nation, I review Peter Hessler's  "Country Driving: A Chinese Road Trip." 

I loved old China hand Peter Hessler's books on his early years studying and working in the Middle Kingdom. "River Town" and "Oracle Bones" are detailed memoirs that were both good reads and a good primer for what to expect when I moved to China. "Country Driving" continues in Hessler's tradition of showing the small details of everyday Chinese peoples' lives to illustrate some of the bigger challenges facing the Middle Kingdom.

Please stop by the site to take a look at my review and the dozens of other articles by The Displaced Nationers--international creatives. 

Happy reading!

I'm excited to announce that today my first review as a columnist for The Displaced Nation is live! 

The Displaced Nation, which bills itself as "a home for international creatives," invited me to start a book column to review books on topics that would be of interest to their readership of long-time expats and adult "third culture kids."

My first column looks at an engrossing series I recently finished, the Dublin Murder Squad books by Irish writer Tana French.  Please stop by the site and check out my review, and the other great articles by Displaced Nationers!

Article--Socialbakers' Cheermeter is an online stadium for the #WorldCup

I'm not a huge fan of organized sporting events, but I *am* a big fan of social media! 

One of my clients, the social media analytics company Socialbakers, has released a fascinating (and addictive!) new tool  that will measure fan participation--mentions are counted as "cheers"--for the FIFA 2014 World Cup, happening now in Brazil. Want to find out which teams get the most love on Twitter? Which players are pictured most often on Instagram? Check out the tool--and my blog about it on the Socialbakers site. Who will you cheer for at #Brazil2014?

How to Pack for Southeast Asia--New ThaHoliday.com Article

PictureKitty wants to come, too!
When my partner and I left for our Big Trip around Asia, we got on the first train bearing approximately our bodyweights in gear. That first day, we shed a whole carrier bag full of stuff. Over the next week, we dropped more and more items--either giving them away or simply leaving them behind.  Since then, I've become much better at packing light. Here are my recommendations for how to pack when traveling to Southeast Asia. Bon Voyage!

The 4 Best Airports of S.E. Asia--New ThaHoliday.com Article

Confession time: I'm a cheap traveler. So cheap, in fact, that I will sometimes stay overnight in the airport to save money on accommodation, if I have a flight that arrives late at night. Luckily, Southeast Asia has some of the best airports in the world, whether you're bunking out  until morning or just passing through for a few hours. My article on ThaHoliday.com introduces what I consider to be S.E. Asia's four best airports. Happy flying!

New Novel Adventurers Post--Shopping Malls in Asia 

2/7/2013

Shopping malls are a curious thing. Before I moved to Asia, I had thought them to be a very American icon. While cities in Europe had malls, they weren't town focal points. Asia, however, now does shopping malls better--and bigger--than any I've ever experienced in the US. This week on Novel Adventurers, we're writing about shopping around the world, and I take a look at the vast popularity of Asian shopping malls. Please stop by and take a look!  Here's the link.
