People, Places & Peabod

About the Book

Each of us dreams of escaping the rhythms of our daily routines to experience bold new horizons and interesting people. Beth Jacobsen had the same wanderlust spirit, and she followed her dream by becoming a travel writer. People, Places & Peabod is a delightful romp across the continent of Europe as we explore the sights and meet an eclectic group of individuals who became an integral part of her life amid the backdrop of some of the world’s most popular travel destinations. We tour the locales and discover the personalities that influenced a naïve writer and transformed her into a veteran travel journalist. We view the world through the eyes of a travel professional as she grows from wide-eyed innocence to poised sophistication. It’s a lighthearted, philosophical journey through the joys, and sometimes the sorrows, of the glamorous world of travel. People, Places & Peabod is a delicious potpourri of fascinating characters and exciting destinations. It’s a collection of memories.
