Shelley Seale

Shelley Seale is a freelance writer based out of Austin, Texas, but she vagabonds in any part of the world whenever possible. Shelley has written for National Geographic, USA Today, The Guardian UK, Texas Monthly, and Travel+Escape, among others. Her new book is How to Travel for Free (or pretty damn near it!): Updated 2nd Edition with Keith Hajovsky, which tells readers how the couple travels for weeks or months at a time on little to no money. Seale's previous books include the Insiders Guide to Seattle; and The Weight of Silence: Invisible Children of India, which follows her journeys into the orphanages, streets and slums of India, where for millions of children the life portrayed in Slumdog Millionaire is their reality. Her mantra is "travel with a purpose."
