About
Dave Fox
 Dave
Fox is an award-winning travel and humor writer, and a tour guide for
Rick Steves' Europe. He has lived in Norway, England, and Turkey, and
visited roughly 40 countries on five continents. (South America, at the
start of this cruise, will be his sixth.) "I'm fascinated with the
psychology of travel," he says, "...with how we view ourselves
when we're in a foreign place."
In 2004, Dave won the Erma Bombeck
Writers' Workshop Book Proposal Contest sponsored by the University
of Dayton, Ohio. His resulting collection of travel humor essays, Getting
Lost: Mishaps of an Accidental Nomad is available from Inkwater
Press. In the summer of 2008, Inkwater Press will also publish Dave's
second book, Globejotting: How to Write Extraordinary
Travel Journals (And Still Have Time to Enjoy Your Trip).
His travel journaling classes have been recommended in the Wall Street
Journal. He has taught them in the United States and Europe, and on cruise
ships in the Baltic Sea and the South Pacific. He infuses his lessons
with humor and his own travel tales. Dave's students frequently write
in class evaluations that his classes exceed their expectations.
A former news anchor for Wisconsin Public Radio, Dave has contributed
to books by Rick Steves and Lonely Planet. His work has also appeared
in travel magazines such as Transitions Abroad, Trips, and Big World,
and newspapers including the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Portland Oregonian,
Dallas Morning News, and Wisconsin State Journal. He has appeared on the
History Channel travel program, Weird US, and has been an opening speaker
for Princess Märtha Louise of Norway.
He shares his unique approach to travel journaling on his website, traveljournaling.com.
He also maintains a humor website,
a humor blog (which
includes his travel
tales when he's traveling overseas), and a language
and writing blog. You can reach him by e-mail at dave@davethefox.com.
