Ep 78 - Paige McClanahan, “The New Tourist”

Are you a travel lover? How much do you think about the impact your travel has on the place you’re visiting while you’re visiting it? My guest this week is Paige McClanahan. Paige is an American journalist based in France, who can now add “author” to her list of accolades with the publication of “The New Tourist: Waking Up to the Power and Perils of Travel” just last month.  Brilliantly researched, “The New Tourist” is part travel book, part memoir, and explores the impact that travel has had on the world, how our relationship to it has evolved, and what we can do to move ourselves from the old way of touristing to the new one.  What surprised her during her research and what advice would Paige have for those encountering the Old Tourist?

The Storytime in Paris podcast will help keep this tradition alive with short interviews and readings from your favorite contemporary authors with a French connection.   Every episode will feature five questions, asked by you, our authors' biggest fans, and answered live on air. Then, our authors will treat us to a reading of an excerpt from their book. Who knows? Maybe you'll even be inspired to write your own Great French Novel. Happy listening!
