Author Information

Writer, photographer and branding expert Stephen W. Brock has traveled to over 50 countries in search of hidden places, unlikely encounters and great gelato. He helps travelers and explorers connect where they go with what they love most. To paraphrase an old branding line, he doesn't make people's trips. He makes people's trips better. He does so by helping them to think in new, unexpected ways about travel and life. As one of the nation's leading branding practitioners, Stephen's job is to see things differently. He works with some of the country's top corporations and not-for-profit organizations to help them articulate the hidden essence of a company and the deep emotional bonds people form with brands. He has combined this professional expertise with 40-plus years of travel to over 50 countries to reveal a different way to think about travel and to help people connect the world in them with the world around them. He writes and photographs for multiple travel publications such as National Geographic and at www.ExploreYourWorlds.com. He has two grown sons and lives near Seattle, Washington with his wife and favorite traveling companion (who fortunately is the same person).
