J.J. Macaw found the  joys and challenges of international travel beginning as a young man and visited every continent except Australia over the last three decades. His articles describe and explain the fun of discovering so much about yourself as you face new cultures and languages.  A few of the most recent are found here.  Others will be available in the J.J.Macaw email series.   J.J.'s travel informs his novels with deep characterizations of people who come  together in a community.
