Yes, for sure -- although I suspect I've had rather fewer adventures than you. It's hard not to write about what you are living.

Thanks for the question.
Perhaps my writing would have manifested differently.
Outside of travel, I have always been a keen observer (the 'why' of people's behaviour and why things are funny, sad or moving). I also found music to be a creative release and form of expression (writing songs for 20+ years).
Travel gave my fiction a shot in the arm, but I think how far you go with it very much depends on your mindset.
In a way the 'processing' of events and learning how to convert the feeling of experiences into meaning for others is the key. Everyone does that in their own way, but I find fiction more maleable that other forms.
Have your adventures influenced your work?
