Warren R. Basla's Biography

Image of the author

The first time I read a National Geographic magazine, I wanted to be an explorer. 

​

Photographers, journalists, and writers captured the planet's natural beauty. They fixed my gaze on groundbreaking discoveries. A revelation, and celebration, of world cultures.

​

The wonders of NatGeo inspired me to study Cultural Anthropology. I developed a passion for research, a zeal for learning. What better way to share this enthusiasm to learn than to study education. My professional career began as a tutor. I've led young people in providing academic programming. I work at a non-profit as a fundraiser. â€‹At the heart of fundraising, and education, is a good story.

 

When I began to travel as a young person, my world expanded. I kept a journal. Sketches of ideas. A cultural faux pas. Brief reflections of a lived experience. Narratives peeked from between the lines.

​

Journals became poems, short stories became novels. â€‹Global escapades, arduous journeys, good conquering evil. My forthcoming work is an exploration of adventure, of purpose; it intends to make the familiar strange, and strange, familiar.​ ​​​

​​​​​​​​​

To be an 'explorer at heart' means I must be a writer. â€‹
