Bill joins me on the podcast today to talk about his adventures following the Viking trail around the world, which he documented in his new book Gone Viking: If you use our links to make a purchase, we will receive a few cents commission at no additional cost to you.

If you include research, writing, and editing, the book took probably a good two years of sustained work. John Gimlette’s Wild Coast was also incredibly helpful as he’s one of the only other travel writers I could find who’s spent time in Suriname and Guyana Travel books, like any narrative, aren’t just descriptions of events, but essentially tell a story, even if that story is somewhat hidden and opaque. But they also aren’t necessarily a personal story like a memoir, nor are they a non-fiction book focused on a single topic.
