Born and raised in Burlington, Vermont, I discovered travel during a year abroad in Canterbury, England during undergrad. Instantly addicted, I joined the Peace Corps after graduation and moved to Estonia, where I taught English at a village high school. From there, I spent the next decade working in Czech Republic, Italy, Slovenia and Turkey. In Istanbul, I began writing for Time Out magazine, an experience that led to acceptance into Emerson College's master's program in publishing and writing.  Check out my all my clips at www.michaeldunphy.com
