I’ve been busy writing articles on our trip.
Several websites have published features, which I thought you’d like to see.

I’m especially proud to be featured on Matador Network, with one of their few articles on Burma. This one’s a guide to how to do the trip Bernard and I just did. The piece has gotten a really positive response. I worked closely with the managing editor on this piece, and I have to say his input and edits were a tremendous help to crafting a readable and info-packed feature. More Burma pieces are shaping up for Matador.

GotSaga picked up my feature on the joys of hairwashing, Burma style. I think you’ll have fun with this one.

The wonderful founders of Better After 50 are more aware than many of what’s going on in Burma, because one of them was there in 2010. They reprinted one of my dispatches in its entirety. In case you missed the original, here it is. BA50 also has a piece of mine pending, on our almost encounter with Thein Sein, Burma’s current president.

And the great website GoNomad, which publishes such compelling writing, has taken another of my essays, this one on the Chin State Day festival we attended at the start of our journey. That’s in the queue for publication some time in the next month or so.

So, I’ve been busy, despite the allure of an early spring outside my window.
