Meera Dattani Takes Us Behind the Editor's Desk at Adventure.com and Talks 20 Years of Freelance Writing

Meera Dattani's family story is rich in voyages and the intermingling of cultures between India, Uganda, and the United Kingdom. It is perhaps no surprise then that, in a freelance travel writing career now entering its third decade, Meera is known for incisive cultural observation and a sense of moral purpose behind her writing. As the executive editor of Adventure.com, Meera has a potent platform from which to shape the conversation in a volatile time for media of all kinds. On the Travel Writing Podcast, we talked about Meera's background and how that influenced her worldview, her advice for freelance writers looking to break into travel, and how her dual role as a freelance travel writer and an executive editor shapes her approach to both positions.
