Paul Theroux

Next to the awesome Anthony Bourdain, Paul Theroux (referred to me by Uncle Mike- thanks, man!) is undeniably my other favorite travel writer. (He'd be number one, but unlike Bourdain, he neglects to exploit his culinary adventures abroad, which we all know Bourdain does so mouth-wateringly well.) Anyway, below is an article that Paul wrote for Conde Naste Traveler magazine in May of this year. He discusses early encounters with Obama, school-teaching for the Peace Corps in Africa and what travel has done for him. Great writing, great man:
