He’s also host and co-executive producer of five earlier seasons of shows–the 65-episode “Smart Travels” series–that highlighted cities and regions in Europe and the Pacific Rim.
Mr. Maxa is well known as public radio’s “Savvy Traveler” and an award-winning contributing editor with National Geographic Traveler magazine. He is a contributing editor to Delta Air Lines’ SKY magazine and Artful Living, the Twin Cities’ lifestyle magazine.
