Very interesting read with apt questions. I never knew travel writing could be so interesting. Wish if I am able to achieve at least 10% of all of it.
Thanks for sharing this with us.

I have to agree with the above commentators. Great interview, and interesting to read. I’m looking forward to read your next one!

Matt – great interview. Who would’a thunk KB had such a serious side. But for us “wannabe’s” his message should be given serious attention.

Next month I get to “hangout” with Tim Cahill and Don George (please don’t ask much money it will cost me) and if they don’t get a restraining order to curtail my stalking, maybe I can get an interview, myself.

Since I will likely be star-struck, will you write my questions for me?

I think as the internet moves to handhelds/ phones, the need for a chunky hard copy will quickly disappear (less than 5 years in my geeky opinion!)

Matt-

Great interview questions and interesting subject. I really liked his take on Khonstamm’s whiny argument about hard work/low pay, though I don’t necessarily agree that printed guide books are somehow more accurate and reliable than online sources– just depends what sources we’re talking about and how we, as readers, evaluate and judge them for their accuracy and source information. This is one of the best pieces you’ve had yet on NomadicMatt, and I look forward to more interviews!
