I was 21 when I headed to Latvia with all the necessary items I thought I would need to last me a year. An L.L. Bean coat and my childhood teddy bear, Boseys, topped the list. The certified note from a police station saying I had never committed a crime was a late edition obtained at my new employer\u2019s request. I didn\u2019t pack light bulbs like the American reporter who preceded me, but I did pack a dozen disposable needles. Growing up in the 1980s in the Bay Area had made me a bit paranoid about AIDS.<\/p>\n

Two months before I had never heard of the Baltics. Now I was going to the frozen former Soviet Republic of Latvia, one of three Baltic countries, to live and work as a reporter for an English language newspaper. I didn\u2019t have a phone number at which to reach my new employer if he failed to greet me at the airport. I had never held a hard copy of the publication in my hand and I knew absolutely no one in the country. I had no idea what I was getting into.<\/p>\n

Fifteen years, a revolution and several hospital stays later, I know a little more about what to pack and a lot more about reporting from abroad. Boseys usually gets left behind, but never the Cipro (short for\u00a0ciprofloxacin, a prescription antibiotic medicine that treats a variety of things but most importantly completely plugs you up if the local food and water make you sick). A small flashlight, an unlocked cell phone, a plug adapter and travel locks are next on the list.<\/p>\n

Whether you want to tell the story of a Vietnamese refugee growing up in East Oakland http:\/\/www.katyacengel.com\/articles\/humanitarian\/index.html<\/a>) or cover basketball in the Republic of Georgia (http:\/\/www.katyacengel.com\/Resources\/Katya_Cengel_Georgia_basketball.pdf<\/a>), U.C.

If your adventure takes place more on the page than in the bush, than find inspiration for your next story from guest lecturer Sandy Close, director of the Bay Area\u2019s New America Media and former China editor of The Far Eastern Economic Review. A swash buckling female foreign correspondent always makes a nice heroine, especially when the writer gets the details about the correspondent\u2019s base in Hong Kong correct. Make your fiction more powerful and your non-fiction more intriguing by delving into different worlds at home and overseas. Learn more about the world and a writer\u2019s role in bringing its diverse people to light through lectures, readings and writing workshops.<\/p>\n

Workshops begin April 6th<\/sup> so register before then to ensure your spot. The first two friends to sign up from the Writers Fun Zone blog<\/strong> will receive signed copies of University of Nebraska Press Bluegrass Baseball: A Year in the Minor League Life<\/em><\/a> voted one of the top ten non-fiction books of 2012 by Shelf Awareness and East Bay Express.<\/p>\n
