After so much talk about "content providing" I'm digging @HumanStew talking about one of my fave things - how African oral storytelling informs #travel #writing - for @travel_con closing keynote. #TravelCon19

“Be original. And do tons of work.” - spot-on advice for writers from the incomparable @HumanStew #TravelCon19 – at Boston, MA

Tahir Shah (@humanstew) on observing the world: “Turn everything you see inside out and upside down.” Amazing talk. I learned so much about storytelling in Morocco watching the hakawati, and Shah just reminded me how much more I have to learn. #travelcon19

I am just reading In Search of King Solomon's Mines on my Kindle. I had a lot of your books in the past but lost them in various moves. I now have your Complete Collection of Travel Literature. I love it.
Thank you very much.

I asked a child, walking with a candle, “From where comes that light?”
Instantly he blew it out. “Tell me where
it is gone—then I will tell you where it
came from.”

1. Living in Khartoum, means living near the Nile. It’s the place where White & Blue Nile conjure and continues north as one powerful river. ‘Red Nile’ by Robert Twigger is a must read for anyone interested in history & biography of the Nile. It’s a page turner at the same time. – at Khartoum, Sudan

Today I finished reading 'Hannibal Fogg and the Supreme Secret of Man' by @HumanStew - questing through a labyrinth of esoterica via the Kublai Khan wheel, ladder of Mithras, cameos by Madame Blavatsky, Rama V and many others. What a ride!
