In the early 1980s, the lure of travel drew Bruce Whipperman away from a 20-year career teaching physics. The occasion was a trip to Kenya that included a total solar eclipse and a safari. He hasn't stopped traveling since.

 With his family grown, he has been free to let the world's wild, beautiful corners draw him on: the ice-clawed Karakoram, the Gobi Desert's trellised oases, the pink palaces of Rajastan, Japan's green wine country, Bali's emerald terraces, and now Pacific Mexico's palm-shaded beaches, colorful towns, and pine-scented highland valleys.

Bruce has always pursued his travel career for the fun of it. He started with slide shows and photo gifts for friends. Others wanted his photos, so he began selling them. Once stranded in Ethiopia, he began to write. A dozen years later, after scores of magazine and newspaper feature stories, Moon Pacific Mexico became his first book. He's also written Moon Puerto Vallarta, Moon Acapulco, Moon Guadalajara, and most recently, Moon Oaxaca. Travel, after all, is for returning home, and that coziest of journeys always brings a tired but happy Bruce back to his friends, son, daughter, and wife Linda in Oakland, California. 

For him, travel writing heightens his awareness and focuses his own travel experiences. He always remembers what a Nepali Sherpa once said: "Many people come, looking, looking; few people come, see."

Bruce invites his readers likewise to "come see"—and discover and enjoy—Mexico's delights with a fresh eye and renewed compassion.
