Recently on public radio station KQED, a broadcast of Peter Greenberg’s address to the Commonwealth Club was aired.  Mr. Greenberg was promoting his book “Don’t Go There” which is a sort of antithesis to Patricia Schultz’s “1000 Places to See Before You Die”.  Peter Greenberg may be a widely respected travel editor and author (click here for his bio), but I didn’t know how funny and engaging he was until I heard him speak.  During his presentation to the Commonwealth Club, he revealed a wealth of travel tips and attitudes, some of which I plan to adopt immediately.  I feel the subject matter and substance of Mr. Greenberg’s address was powerful and highly relevant to the adventure traveler, so I requested the permission of the Commonwealth Club to present the full audio of his address here.  With gracious thanks, you may listen to this audio file by clicking below:
