In his new book, Mark Walker reflects on his fifty years of travel miscalculations and disasters. As a young Peace Corps volunteer with no overseas travel experience, the world was his oyster, and he figured he could go anywhere if he set his mind to it—with little or no money. Then he married a Guatemalan lady and had to think more about “our” needs; then, three children meant additional requirements and responsibilities.
Later, as a professional fundraiser, he would set up donor visits to program areas where the organizations he represented needed funds, which meant considering the needs of up to fifteen individuals of all ages, including children and some donors in their 70s and 80s.
He’s become a savvier trekker, although he is still prone to the occasional snafu. This book is part of the “Yin & Yang of Travel” series of ten essays. It’s an invaluable portal into the world of timeless travel and what can go wrong.
Walker was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Guatemala and spent over forty years helping disadvantaged people in the developing world. He came to Phoenix as a Senior Director for Food for the Hungry, worked with other groups like Make-A-Wish International, and was the CEO of Hagar USA. This Christian-based organization supports survivors of human trafficking.
