"I meet people and they become chapters in my stories."—Avijeet Das
Great Escape Radio host, Jody Maberry brings travel writer, Noreen Kompanik back to the show.
Noreen has transitioned from a 34-year career in nursing to life as a travel writer. She attended the Ultimate Travel Writer's Workshop in 2014 when it was in San Diego where she lives.
While she loves writing articles and traveling to so many wonderful destinations, she loves even more the people she meets along the way.
"What has been the biggest blessing of all to me is the people I've met along the way," says Noreen.
Noreen's always been a people person, but she didn't realize how much she would enjoy interacting with people as a travel writer.
She shares some of the inspiring stories she's gleaned through conversations with people she's met along the way.
Noreen shares her tips for finding these inspiring stories along the way and how to use those in your writing. She also shares an amazing story she uncovered about Dr. Seuss.
Noreen pioneered Great Escape Publishing's Travel Writer's Café which provides a supportive network for travel writers.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
