**More on Clayton Hensley (@knoxroadtripper)

Travel does more than transport you from one place toanother; it provides an avenue for endless adventure.  My name is Clayton Hensley (a.k.a.knoxroadtripper).  I am an East Tennessee native who has always loved the open road and the chance to experience newplaces.

Following a 15-year career in the television news business,I found myself writing more and more about travel. I started as a freelancerwith the Knoxville News-Sentinel, then moved to writing for outlets online. Eventually I created my own website focused on travel, knoxroadtripper.com.

The travel writing journey not only took me to differentplaces, it also took me to new levels professionally as my writing expanded towork in travel guides, work on a wide range of websites, and attending many travel-related conferences. My hope is to inspire people to venture out on aroad trip and return with a new perspective about the places they visited along the way.

 My wife Melinda and I have lived in Clinton, TN for more than 25 years. We have a son and a daughter, who, over the years, loved traveling with us (most of the time)!  My“real” job is working as a communications director for a large church. In what little spare time I have, I love taking lots of pictures, cooking, and catchingup on the TV shows I’ve missed because I’m out on a road trip.

Check out this fun episode with Author, Podcaster, Flyrodway.com Creator & Travel Guru, Melissa Rodway!

This podcast was so much fun talking with Melissa about her small-town stories from her adventures, and diving into the background of her book “The People You Meet.”  We touch on many aspects of travel we both love through reflecting on relationships and personal stories.

Note: This is really a fun read and makes a great Christmas gift! Check it out here.

More on Melissa Rodway:

My name is Melissa Rodway. I grew up in a small (but not remote, there is a difference) town in Ontario. When I was six, we spent a year in Roleystone (very small, very remote bush town) in Western Australia. It was during this time that my dad kept reinforcing that life exists everywhere, and not just in our small, but not remote, Ontario town. That year, we were frequently packed into a camper van, discovering almost every nook and cranny of Australia, New Zealand and Bali.

At heart, I am a true Canadiana girl. I have lived in Port Perry, Ontario (see opening paragraph), Jasper, Alberta, Victoria, British Columbia, Montréal, Québec, and Barrie, Ontario (don’t knock it ’til you try it). I currently live in Toronto, Ontario. I love the anonymity and infinite opportunities only found in a big city, while also enjoying the many outdoor adventures that this province provides. I still get excited about each change of season and the new pace of life it brings. Read More Here.
