Journeys of a Passionate Traveller by Frances Mayes on Free Online Video

In this lecture delivered at the World Affairs Council, beloved travel writer and author of Under the Tuscan Sun Frances Mayes discusses her latest book A Year in the World: Journeys of A Passionate Traveller. This new book follows her travels with her husband in Greece, Turkey, Spain, Morocco and other countries after she quit her job as a professor to take up writing full time. Mayes discusses the primal instinct that she feels humans have to travel and explore their world, and how she doesn't really believe in the global village as every place she goes is so vastly different. She reads extensively from a passage in her book about her adventures in Fez, Morocco. It's a great lecture for anyone that loves to travel.
