Listen "From Zero to National Geographic; Jamie Edwards' Story of Travel Writing and Parenthood"
Episode Synopsis
When Jamie Edwards was a mother of a two-year-old and expecting a second child, her husband was offered a job in Tokyo. They left all that was familiar and headed overseas. What followed was a life rich in adventure, more often than not, with the kids in tow.
Through over 50 countries, Jamie gained confidence not only in the art of parenting on the move but also in crafting a compelling story that did justice to her travel experiences. She founded a popular blog, I am Lost and Found, to share her recommendations, and used her networking skills to help her break into some of travel writing's most prestigious publications.
In the latest episode of the Travel Writing Podcast, which also forms an instalment in our 'Traveling While Dad' series, Jamie talks about sharing real travel experiences with children and describes how she polished her storytelling skills and became a contributor to the upcoming National Geographic Traveler's Atlas of the World.
