About?

In 2016, a young man's car collided with a fire truck. His name was Kody. Kody dreamed of seeing the world beyond the beauty of Kentucky, but lost his life on his way to work, at Walmart. Now, through Letters to Kody, author and adventurer D. J. Swales honours that dream for Kody — a special soul —who followed his Instagram travelogue for years with kindness and curiosity.  As a child, D. J. escaped war-torn Belfast and hasn't stopped travelling since. Drifting in the wake of his grandfather, an old Irish sea-dog, he shares weekly memoir-episodes from his tumbleweed life—addressed to Kody, who yearned to explore new horizons. From the 12 countries and 3 U.S. states he's called home to the 120 countries and 45 states he's visited, D. J. explores the natural world, folklore, history, culture, and the humble or extraordinary moments that make life on the road unforgettable. In these travel memoirs to a lost friend, you are invited to speak Kody's name and, by listening, help bring his spirit to places he longed to see. D. J. Swales is the bestselling author of People of Bloomsbury and the Fitzmarbury Witches series, available on Kindle. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
