Shelley Seale

I am a freelance writer based out of Austin, Texas, but I vagabond in any part of the world whenever possible. I have written for the Seattle Times, Washington Magazine, the Austin Business Journal, Intrepid Travel and Andrew Harper Traveler Magazine among others, and am the Sustainable Travel Columnist at The Examiner. My new book, The Weight of Silence: Invisible Children of India, follows my journeys into the orphanages, streets and slums of India, where for millions of children the life portrayed in Slumdog Millionaire is their reality. My mantra is “travel with a purpose.” I can be reached at www.shelleyseale.com.
