These days, thanks to travel blogs and instantaneous travel guides, just about anyone can be a travel writer. We discuss the history, current state and future of travel writing with people who have made their careers writing about far-off places. What are their thoughts on the craft, and what are their hopes for the genre in years to come?

Guests:

Thomas Swick, freelance travel writer, former travel editor of the Florida Sun Sentinel in Fort Lauderdale and author of numerous books and travel essays including "A Way to See the World: From Texas to Transylvania with a Maverick Traveler" and the memoir "Unquiet Days"

Lee Azus, owner of Get Lost Travel Books in San Francisco
