Bruce Northam

Bruce Northam is the author of The Frugal Globetrotter and
In Search of Adventure: A Wild Travel Anthology. His multimedia
presentations — held at universities and seminar
centers nationwide — celebrate the spirit and soul of circling
the globe five times, freestyle. Bruce is Writer at Large for Blue
Magazine, a guest writer for National Geographic Traveler,
Details, and the Utne Reader, as well as a guest speaker on
National Public Radio’s The Savvy Traveler. His rambling
résumé includes acting as a stunt man in Chinese action
movies, judging Nicaragua’s Corn Island beauty contest, surviving
on sheep jerky in the Utah desert, dirty dancing in
Venezuela, and babysitting in rural Japan.
Bruce keeps one tentacle in Manhattan. He is currently
creating his next book and television show — both titled
American Detour. Details on his live travel presentation are on
