Tim Cahill Reveals Why He Writes About the World's Forgotten People (and more)

In Season 1, Teri focuses on extraordinary people who have followed their passions to feed their souls and accomplish things that benefit others.He's been called America’s best known (and funniest) adventure travel writer, a Working-Class Hero, The Godfather of Travel Writing, the Wise Guy of Travel Lit Lite, an apostle of irreverence, and a Mishap Maestro. Teri just calls him Tim. Freaking. Cahill. Tim's why many write about travel. In this episode Teri and Tim discuss My Malaria, a story Tim wrote for Outside Magazine that changed her trajectory as a writer, his own inspiration via Edward Abbey’s “Desert Solitaire”, his pet charity, the Makindu Children’s Project and what it means to take a Proper Walk through a desert of death. He wraps it up with his story about dead turtle babies that changed things in Mexico (and made Teri realize something important), his near-death experience in the Grand Canyon, what he wants us to know after he’s gone.Tim has no website, more’s the pity.
