Pirate graveyards. Whirlpools in the Mekong Delta. Traveling without a cellphone *gasp!*
Steve Bramucci has years of adventures under his travel belt. Currently the editor of UPROXX Life, Steve has written for the likes of Nat Geo and Afar, and interviewed the experts such as Anthony Bourdain.
We discuss everything from rowing the Mekong river via Vietnamese sampan to studying Komodo dragons in Indonesia. His story of encountering a real-life pirate graveyard in Madagascar won the Trazzler Oasis prize, and his trip across Australia in a car fueled with french fry oil was adapted into an Australian TV show. Steve’s first novel, The Danger Gang and the Pirates of Borneo!, will be published in August 2017. Also featured: This week’s “Ask Andy” segment, where listeners send in those burning travel questions.
