#42: Katherine Parker-Magyar Talks About Travel Dreams and Being a Travel Writer

Reel Travels with Lisa Iannucci

Hey everyone it’s Lisa Iannucci and this is a special cross-over episode between both of my podcasts The Reel Travels podcast and The Write Start podcast. My special guest for this episode is Katherine Parker-Magyar, who is an extremely successful travel writer and I thought that writers would want to know how she accomplished what she did as a travel writer and the travelers who listen to Reel Travels would love to listen to what she’s accomplished as a traveler and, of course, her interest in film. Katherine Parker Magyar is the guest today and here is a snippet of her bio: “In my career as a travel writer, I’ve driven husky sleighs through Arctic forests in Finnish Lapland and sailed the Rio Negro to the heart of the Brazilian Amazon. I’ve practiced yoga with goats in the Swiss Alps and chased Alaskan King Salmon off the shores of Prince of Wales Island. I’ve jumped into black holes in Belize and trekked across the most active volcanic valleys in the Caribbean. I’ve hot air ballooned above the Sierra Nevada and tracked rhinos in the savannah of the Maasai Mara. Katherine Parker-Magyar has been 6 continents, 63 countries, and all 50 states, I do want you to keep in mind that Katherine talks very fast so listen carefully or slow down the speed of your playback. Katherine, thank you so much for being on the show and thank you all for listening to both the Reel Travels podcast and The Write Start podcast.
