On this week’s episode of Travel for Curious Minds, renowned travel journalists Deborah Stone and Nick Dalton join host Abbey Cousins to discuss how they started out wanting to “save the world” through journalism, working on national news desks, then becoming digital nomads in the 90s, travelling around the world working for various national and international publications.

From debunking misunderstandings about being a travel writer (it’s harder work than you think!) to the destinations etched in their memories, including Egypt, Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, and the Great Wall of China, and what’s on their bucket lists for future adventures, listen in to hear about the couple’s unique and extraordinary journey over the past 30 years.
