Sam Lowe
Sam Lowe, an almost-native Arizonan, has been traveling and writing about it ever since he was sent to Israel and Egypt to cover a peace-treaty
signing that ended a brief war between the two countries. Since then, he
has been stranded in Zambia, sang a solo in Munich, judged a Miss World
beauty contest in Mexico, climbed halfway up Mt. Fuji, met with the prime
minister of the Republic of China, snorkled the Great Barrier Reef,
wingwalked, been a circus clown, impersonated a wax dummy and driven the
Goodyear Blimp, among other things in the 40-plus countries and 46 states he
has visited.
