Judy Bloomberg

Judy Bloomberg has been an intrepid traveler for 50 years, and has explored well over 100 countries on all seven continents. Whenever possible, she immerses herself in the culture and daily life of the places she visits through home stays, volunteer work, and participation in the celebrations and life cycle events of the inhabitants. When not traveling, she lives in Massachusetts (US) with her husband, Mark, and plans her next adventure.

Her debut travel book, Always a Traveler, Never a Tourist: In Search of People and Places on the Road Less Traveled, is a collection of nearly 300 of the best full-page color photos from her diverse travels, focusing on the most exotic destinations on all seven continents (and the people who inhabit them), along with insights and anecdotes about traveling off the beaten path. From colorful festivals like the Goroka Show in Papua New Guinea and Carnival in Rio to daily life in places like Lake Titicaca and rural Ethiopia, these photographs beautifully capture the amazing diversity of peoples who inhabit our world.
