Rolf Potts: The Virtual Tour

Travel writer Rolf Potts just finished a Virtual Tour, doing numerous interviews all across the blogosphere, to celebrate the release of his new book Marco Polo Didn’t Go There: Stories and Revelations From One Decade as a Postmodern Travel Writer.

–World Hum -Micheal Yessis gets into Rolf’s brain on the changes in travel writing over the past decade.

–Boots n’All – Rolf answers reader submitted questions.
