To Travel Well, Travel Light is a two-part memoir of an outward journey and an inward journey. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Of the twenty years Mary Coday Edwards lived abroad with her family, eight were in Pakistan, where she worked in Afghan refugee post-conflict repatriation and reconstruction projects. She is an internationally published author and worked as an editor for English daily newspapers in Jakarta and Mexico. With her BS in engineering technology, an MA in energy and environmental studies, and post-grad studies in ecological justice, abroad she worked and wrote on environmental sustainability issues at both global and local levels. Upon returning to the US after living in Asia, Southeast Asia, East Africa, and Latin America, she became a nonsectarian ordained minister through Denver's People House, where she has been a regular blogger for more than six years. Mary lives in Flagstaff with her husband and within easy driving distance to their two adult sons and their families. She spends her free time pulling invasive weeds from their small plot of shortgrass prairie land.
