In her 20 years as a travel writer, Bloomington resident Sally McKinney has visited 33 countries in five continents. Her books include " Adventures in Nature: New Zealand," " The Indiana University Experience," and " Hiking Indiana."
She's dined on crocodile cabobs and pit pit (an edible grass), hiked with the Maoris of New Zealand, rafted down rivers in Fiji, and cruised by clipper ship from Phuket to Singapore. She talks about how she started her career in mid-life after leaving a "conventional" lifestyle.
