Rolf Potts

USA Today has called Rolf Potts "Jack Kerouac for the Internet Age." For the past ten years he has taken his keen postmodern travel sensibility into the far-flung reaches of five continents as a writer for publications such as Slate.com, National Geographic Traveler, the New York Times Magazine, Outside, Conde Nast Traveler, and National Public Radio. He writes the column “Traveling Light” for Yahoo! and has a large and faithful online following. He’s also the author of Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel. When he’s not traveling he lives in Kansas, where he was born and raised.
