Bob Riel
the writer with a global curiosity
I'm the author of the travel memoir Two Laps Around the World. I'm also a travel writer and freelance journalist. Check out some samples of my writing.
I work as the North American travel columnist for Examiner.com. Additionally, I have a personal blog, called Travels in the Riel World, in which I focus more on cross-cultural topics, international travel and other subjects of interest. If you'd like, you can also follow me on Twitter.
International and Cross-Cultural Expertise
I've traveled to 45 countries on six continents, published a travel memoir about two round-the-world journeys, worked as Manager of Editorial Services for an international consulting firm, written articles and training manuals about cross-cultural topics, and trained businesspeople who were preparing to relocate abroad. You can read more about my background and expertise.
Riel World Communications provides editorial services to corporations, universities, nonprofits, small businesses and individuals. Contact me for all of your writing needs.
I've taken many photographs during my travels around the globe. You can see some of them on my Flickr page.
Are you interested in having me speak to your group or club? Or in doing a book signing or reading? I can discuss my travel memoir or speak about other travel-related topics.
Life sabbaticals and round-the-world travel
Interested in knowing more about these topics? I've taken two life sabbaticals (or career breaks) and two round-the-world trips, so I've written overviews of both subjects and included a few ideas and resources to get you going.
