If you spend any amount of time with Matt Gross, you’ll find his enthusiasm for rugged travel and his intrigue for cultural experiences abroad highly contagious. Matt has had a travel-writing career full of extremes—extreme sicknesses, extreme dangers, but through it all, extreme curiosity that has formed him into the talented and road-wise individual we can see today.
As the New York Times Frugal Traveler columnist from 2006 to 2010, Matt racked up a gazillion tales that he’d love to share with us. When I chatted with him at New York’s Hostelling International, he offered a few of those stories, as well as indulged me with some background info about his brand-new book “The Turk Who Loved Apples” that was just released this month.
So listen to Matt’s adventures on today’s When In Roam episode, and try to pick your jaw up off the floor throughout his stories!
