About angelasmirkman
ANGELA SMITH KIRKMAN recently returned from a two-year journey around the worldwith her husband and three young children. During The Big Field Trip, her family hiked the Inca Trail, snuck into a dilapidated communist headquarters in Bulgaria, rode camelback through the Sahara, caught the swine flu in Istanbul, rode a dragon boat up the Perfume River, got chased out of the Grand Mosque of Uqba, lived on a vineyard in Portugal, was robbed at gunpoint in Bahía, taught at a tribal school in Rajasthan, biked through floating markets outside Bangkok, and communed with snow monkeys in the hot springs of Japan. Stories from The Big Field Trip have been published in International Living Magazine, Asia Literary Review, Eventus Magazine and World Press Review. Kirkman blogs at www.thebigfieldtrip.com. Her photographs have been selected as favorites by National Geographic Travel’s Director of Photography and published in the Santa Fe New Mexican which ran a front-page story featuring The Big Field Trip in March 2015. Kirkman currently lives with her family in Santa Fe, New Mexico where she’s busy growing leeks and conjuring up the next voyage.
