The Sydney Writer’s Festival is on right now and it has reignited the fire within me to get back to writing the book that so many of my friends and acquaintances have been asking about: the story of my three year journey through Latin America. I’m not much of a talker, but when you get me started on one of my adventures through South and Central America, you’ll have trouble stopping me. This is why for the last four years, people have been encouraging me to put my experiences into a book, to inspire others to get out into the world and, like me, discover themselves as they discover the world.
Today I went to a workshop with Summer Land, who encouraged me to start this new “Writing” section of my blog, to keep you updated with my journey as a memoir writer. Please email me at info@aliciafox.net if you have any questions or if you would like me to blog about something in particular. I look forward to sharing with you. Thanks!
Me working on the first draft of the book in Santa Catalina, Panama. I lived in this little surf village for 1 month on $3 a day, eating rice, beans and coconuts and getting free accommodation in hostels and resorts by reviewing them for a travel website.
