AUTUMN CAROLYNN Autumn shares her story of a cancer scare at a young age which led to a realization of how her life should ever move forward. Traveling in Wonder: A Travel Photographer's Tales of Wanderlust is an author’s extended letter to the many countries she's visited, first as a student traveling abroad, then as a flight attendant, a travel agent, and more recently, a travel photographer. Traveling in Wonder is a former flight attendant’s reflections on the 30 countries she traveled to or lived in within 30 years. Traveling in Wonder is also a love letter to self, and the courage it takes to get on a plane and go, but also in choosing not to run away from your problems in the present, and equally, letting ordinary days teach you more about yourself. Traveling in Wonder is going to be released on February 24th, 2024. Autumn Carolynn received her bachelor's degree in English with an emphasis in creative writing from Illinois State University and Canterbury Christ Church University. She is a published author with Spoon River Poetry Review and has worked as an on-air DJ for two radio stations. Autumn produced a creative writing segment aired on WGLT, an NPR station, which introduced writers from all over the Midwest and allowed them to share their work on air. She is an award-winning travel photographer who owns her business, Autumn Carolynn Photography. One can find her work across multiple galleries, including the Northrup King Building, one of the largest art complexes in the United States. She resides in the Twin Cities and enjoys rescuing animals, walking her dogs, snuggling her cats, and playing music with her husband in her spare time. https://www.autumncarolynn.com https://www.facebook.com/autumncarolynnphotography https://www.instagram.com/autumncarolynnphotography https://www.tiktok.com/autumncarolynnphotograph https://youtube.com/@autumncarolynnphotography RICK HIGGINS Host, The Pirate Wanderer Rick shares his tale of surviving full-body paralysis (twice!) and how his life changed after the experiences.
