Anthony St. Clair: BootsnAll Photojournalist
Anthony St. Clair got a taste for independent travel while taking roadtrips in college, and he was never quite the same. Since then he’s lived in Ireland and Scotland, his tales of which led him to work as a copywriter and editor for BootsnAll from 2000 to 2003. His time in Scotland also led to him liking haggis – so much so that he has cooked his own. From scratch. Twice.
Anthony has fried his tongue with hot pickle in India, cried from "Thai hot! Thai hot!" green papaya salad in Thailand, and, no matter how much Angkor beer preceded it, just could not quite try the fried bugs and snakes-on-a-stick in Cambodia. He’s wandered – not lost, he swears – in southern China, learned to like butter tea in Tibet, and could’ve sworn he had amoebic dysentery in Nepal. He’s learned that the best beer in Australia is the stout on tap in the XXXX brewery in Brisbane, and that there’s nothing like a tall glass of chilled "goon" – boxed, erm, cask wine – after a long day’s sailing in Australia’s Whitsunday Islands.
Other than his fiancee, Jodie, the most beautiful sight he has ever seen was at 11 p.m., on a clear, frigid and oxygen-deprived night at Tibetan base camp, when he watched a blazing white full moon rise up the side of Mount Everest.
Anthony and Jodie live in Eugene, Oregon, along with their cat, Jasmine; their dog, Ella; and their sidecar motorcycle, Svetlana. Anthony brews beer, wears a Jodie-knit sweater with buttons that have continents on them, cooks a lot, and travels around Oregon and Washington as much as he can. He is a writer, website editor, and 3-time winner of NaNoWriMo, which means that he was loopy enough to write 50,000-word novels in less than 30 days.
When not on his motorcycle or hunched over his notebook, you can find Anthony on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, in the BootsnAll forums as "Ant", or via email, anthony at antsaint dot com.
