About Adam

Adam Skolnick was diagnosed with travel obsession, for which there is no cure, while working as an environmental activist in the mid 90s. As a result he has traveled to over 40 countries on six continents.

He’s been lost in the Amazon, scaled Kilimanjaro, backpacked through Mexico and Central America, attended a yoga conference (and a couple of baseball games) in Cuba, meditated with Hindu priests in Bali, Buddhist monks in Burma, consulted with an Ecuadorian shaman, hiked through the rainforest with devout Muslim farmers in Sumatra, and trekked with armed missionaries and courageous backpack medics in the war torn, ethnic provinces of Eastern Burma.

As a freelance journalist he writes about travel, culture, health, sports, and the environment. His work has appeared in Men’s Health, Lonely Planet, Outside, Oprah Magazine, Wired and Travel & Leisure, among others. A longtime screenwriter, he’s the co-creator of the web series, Aspiring, and is currently writing his first novel. Visit his author’s page and buy his books at Amazon.com
