The year at home: Patricia Schultz on the serendipity of travel  

The biggest travel story of the week was the anniversary of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the subsequent global shutdown of travel. To mark “where we were,” this time last year, editor in chief Arnie Weissmann wrote his column on the recollections of travel executives and colleagues. One of the people he reached out to was Patricia Schultz, bestselling author of “1,000 Places to See Before You Die.”

But our subsequent podcast with Schultz focuses less on the shutdown and more on the serendipity of spontaneous travel experiences. Instead of spending the shutdown updating “1,000 Places,” Schultz during has been writing a different kind of book, one about how curiosity and open-mindedness can take a regular travel experience and elevate it to the unforgettable. In recounting travel memories of Morocco and New York and how travel experiences great and small can change your perspective, Schultz’s observations may re-ignite your wanderlust once more.
