In the aftermath of the pandemic, author Tim Ward and his wife, Teresa, decided to leave their home and professional careers in the US to spend a year in Europe as flâneurs. The French word "flâneur" means one who “wanders without purpose, observing society.” As the French literary critic Sainte-Beuve explained it, to flâne “is the very opposite of doing nothing.” Indeed, it is to give yourself the gift of time: permission to live an unstructured life and, by so doing, discover something about the world, and about yourself.
Tim Ward is the author of ten books, including Pro Truth, The Master Communicator's Handbook and the best-selling What the Buddha Never Taught. His travel stories have appeared in 13 anthologies, including several volumes of Traveler’s Tales Best Travel Writing. Tim is the publisher of Changemakers Books. He also co-owns Intermedia Communications Training with Teresa Erickson, his wife and business partner. They live in Washington DC.
