Travel writing

All poets are travelers.  Whether literally or metaphorically, we journey through words to discover new worlds.  And we journey through the world to create new words.  To trace our "own personal" maps we move through the world with words and through words in the world.  During these journeys we also become travel writers of sorts.

Beatriz teaches a variety of travel writing programs, including:
