As a veteran shoestring traveller delighted by effusive hospitality, beautifully intricate crafts, and the music of all religions’ prayers, Nancy Chuang (nancychuang.com; Instagram: @nancyc_huang) immerses herself in communities around the world through her penchant for riding in the backs of trucks or creaky old trains, sleeping on the floors of mud huts, seeking high-reward yet low-effort views, and consuming all manner of street foods on a stomach of steel. As a travel writer, Chuang has updated four Bradt guides from four continents: Suriname, Ghana, Georgia and Sri Lanka. As a photographer, designer, and artist, she is comfortable just about anywhere but continues to hang on to an ever-changing Brooklyn.
