The writer Susie Leonard Weller is our guest this week. She recently published 52 Global Reflections: A Pilgrim’s Travel Memoir — a book that's part memoir, part travel diary and part discussion starter.

Susie gives some background on why she wrote the book as well as some of the places and experiences that left the most lasting impressions on her.

As part of that conversation, we also talk about travel as an act that connects us to humankind.

You can find out more about Susie's book at the 52 Global Reflections website.

And a big thanks to our sponsor for this episode, the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture.
