Santa Fe resident Judith Fein is an award-winning travel journalist, inspirational speaker, film/opera/dance reviewer, and blogger who lives to leave. She is the author of three acclaimed books: How To Communicate with the Dead…and How Cultures Do It Around the World; Life is a Trip: The Transformative Magic of Travel; and The Spoon from Minkowitz, about the importance of knowing where you come from.
Ms. Fein will be discussing her book Slow Travel New Mexico, Unforgettable Experiences in the Land of Enchantment, filled with adventures such as painting with a Navajo abstract artist, visiting a wolf refuge, cruising in a lowrider and tracking Billy the Kid. It is an invitation to show up in a place and let New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment, reveal itself to you. Judith will be accompanied by photographer for the book, Paul Ross
“It’s all there, right within reach, if you learn how to go off the beaten mental path,” says award-winning international travel journalist Judith Fein. “Travel has become a commodity written about in charticles and listicles, a consumerist activity vetted by others who spent and went before you. Slow travel is a whole other way to go. And even if you can’t travel, it’s a way to open doors and have adventures happen in your daily life.”
For two years, during the pandemic, Fein and her photojournalist husband Paul Ross, replaced international travel with a deep dive into the magic of their home state of New Mexico. They were on the qui vive, looking for unusual experiences and people that were good for mind, body, and soul.
Their new book, Slow Travel New Mexico: Unforgettable Personal Experiences in the Land of Enchantment, has been a bestseller on Amazon since its publication by UNM Press a few months ago. It invites the reader to learn what slow travel is, gives tips on how to make every day of your life an experience, and provides information about how you can have each of these adventures yourself.
The event will include a talk by Judith, cowboy poetry by Paul Ross (aka PJ), and a book sale and personalized signing.
