In the KNOW!

Diann Schindler served over 25 years in higher education, first as an instructor of writing and ultimately college president. When she retired, she dabbled in tennis, music, and writing. Yet, her dream was to travel and write books. In 2015, her fantasy was realized. She sold her house, her car, and all her possessions, save her tennis racket and Taylor guitar, and began her odyssey in Portugal. Four years later, Diann had explored 46 countries. With the world as her muse, this solo nomad wrote her first novel, “Just A Girl,” ranked “sixth best coming-of-age fiction in 2107” by Amazon. Her friends, in American and abroad, urged her to write her nonfiction book, “The Essential Guide to a Life of Travel: the ABC’s International Travel.”  Her third book “Claim Denied”, an electrifying international cyber-espionage thriller, emerged from her experiences as a writing consultant at the American University in Kosovo. The sequel, “What Lies Beneath the Willow,” a mystery thriller, is set on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. (All of her books are available on Amazon, worldwide.) She is a lifelong learner and as a result of studying the craft of writing for years, Diann has taken on an editor role, from copy editing to developmental editing, creating a new website (see below) and her “Craft of Writing” YouTube Channel. Diann's podcasts are fun, informative, and lively, focusing on her travels, writing tips, personal experiences, challenges, and reflections. She lives in Lisbon, Portugal. You can reach her through her the variety of contact information listed below. She would love to hear from you! Thank you for listening.

"In the Beginning: my truly amazing, worldwide solo nomad adventure."

Dec 23, 2019

I began podcasting in January, 2016, one year after I left the country to travel the world and before I actually named my podcasting the "In the KNOW!" show. 

This episode is a rerelease of my very first podcast in which I describe that travel bug, that gadfly-like travel bug that latched on to me until I could no longer ignore it.  I just had to give in to it, embrace it, even nourish it and commence my truly amazing, worldwide adventure.

I've been traveling for 4 years, over 45 countries in 5 continents, to date.  It's often a good idea to take a moment to look ...or listen...back when it all began.

Note, I mention that I will be recording another podcast with Constance Vlahoulis.  Unfortunately, that didn't happen because I didn't have the proper equipment to conduct an interview podcast. Bummer! 

Thank you for listening.  Please write to me at Diann@DiannAbroad.com and tell me what you would like to hear on "In the KNOW!"  Also, please comment, subscribe and share with your friends.

Merry Christmas to you and yours!
