Aaron Hunter, better known as The Exploring Author, is the author of the popular children’s book Tales of the Magical Postcards and is based out of Frankfurt, Germany.

On the episode, expect to hear about how Aaron found the perfect medium to connect his love for travel, new culinary experiences, and writing, as well as the importance of helping children see themselves in experiencing other cultures. Aaron and I further discuss his experiences living in Germany, the inspiration behind his book 'Tales of the Magical Postcards', and the creative process he underwent to develop his writing skills, the significance of community celebrations and the differences in childhood experiences across cultures, planning for future projects and an exciting reveal of where the next book will take place, our travel experiences in Italy and Germany, and the challenges of marketing and branding as an author. Finally, we discuss travel logistics and the unique experiences encountered in different countries, various themes related to travel, cultural experiences, and personal growth, and reflect on the educational value of travel.
