Pico Iyer and Andrew McCarthy on Traveling and Writing
The National Geographic Society, located right here in Washington, DC, regularly puts on events as part of its NG Live! series. I’ve had the pleasure of attending two of these events, one featuring Pico Iyer, the other with Andrew McCarthy, and both featuring Don George in the role of interviewer. The following videos, distilled into their most essential points, are from the NG Live! talks.

Andrew McCarthy talks to Don George
Andrew McCarthy is the author of The Longest Way Home: One Man’s Quest for the Courage to Settle Down as well as numerous award-winning travel articles. Yes, he’s THAT Andrew McCarthy, too.
