I'm not a podcast person, but I've been interviewed for two of them now and I've enjoyed the experience, and I've been honored to be a guest. The origin story of The Trip and where it's taken listeners so far is pretty fantastic. It's a privilege to be part of that journey for Episode 93.

Have a listen HERE.

Michelle Borok is one of something like 9 million Americans who live overseas—nobody’s quite sure how many there are, nobody cares much about counting them. But one thing is certain: they are a more diverse group than you might think. This week, I’m talking with three American women, writers all—Michelle Borok, Sarah Souli, and Ruth Terry—about what it’s like to be Korean-American in Mongolia, Arab-American in Athens, and Black American in Istanbul, watching all this nonsense from afar. I’ll start with Ruth Terry in Istanbul, who talks about anti-blackness among white Americans overseas and about her dreams for what travel writing could become in a post-lockdown world.

    Michelle Borok

    I'm a writer and editor living in Darkhan, Mongolia, by way of Los Angeles. It's a long story... I write about it sometimes.
