Readers! So happy to share an interview with one of our writers, Dr. Debra Payne (we met in graduate school!), who has lived all around the world, and truly incorporated intercultural living into her life's work. Read on...

WE: Hi, fellow Wandering Educator! It’s good to see you again. We haven’t spoken since back when you used to write write articles for us about life in Southern Spain and the Dominican Republic. Now you’ve written a book! Congratulations!

Wondering about that headline? Well, I can sum it up in two words: This Book.

Last spring, I discovered the beautiful port city of Málaga. On previous solo and group trips, I had visited Seville, Granada, and Cordoba. But this city is unlike any other in Spain. And it’s not just because it’s the birthplace of artist Pablo Picasso.

Anchored on the “Costa del Sol” in the southern Andalucía region, Málaga is a beacon for all those yearning for the “beach-bum” lifestyle but also want history, culture, haute cuisine, and safe evening outings.
