New blog post up: "The Danakil Depression in the Afar region of Northern Ethiopia, about fifteen kilometres from the Eritrean border, is one of the hottest and most hostile places on earth. The lowest part of the geological depression is about 125 metres below sea level and is the result of three diverging tectonic plates, like the soft spot on a baby’s head after it’s born... Everyone told us before we went that it’s the most physically challenging thing you can do in Ethiopia, and they were right." Read the rest over at https://jamiemorgenphillips.com.

Excerpt of a Q&A I did over at thriftycritic.com: "Writing a book has been on my to-do list for a really long time – I told my kindergarten teacher that I wanted to be an author when I grew up. And I wrote about travel because it was easier than coming up with fictional stories. Travel is such a great subject because it puts you into these bizarre and incredible and hilarious situations; it basically writes itself. I also gravitate towards weird situations so that I can tell stories about them and, hopefully, entertain people and make them feel good about their own life choices." .

As some of you already know (because I won’t stop going on about it), my travel memoir is going to be published this summer. Woohoo! @garreteerpress has taken on my little project and the book will be available in July. Watch this space!! The book is a collection of true travel stories on six continents over about a decade of travelling and living abroad, from my first big trip in South America to Australia to South East & Central Asia, Eastern Europe, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. Since 2009, I’ve been gathering up what I think are the most entertaining stories from my travels – the ones where something goes wrong, usually – and put them all together into this book. If you’re into travel, armchair travel or stories about people getting into fights with donkeys, you might like it! I’m going to be posting all things book on my shiny new Facebook Page @jamie.morgen.phillips – please like and follow along! . . . #travelwriting #travelmemoir #womenwritersofinstagram #writersofinstagram #womenwhowrite #travelwriters #author #authorsofinstagram #memoir #writingbooks #novelwriting #nonfictionbooks #literarynonfiction #authorsoninstagram #travelisawesome #tablemountain #capetownsouthafrica
