Nat Geo Live! An Evening with Frances Mayes

Tonight at the National Geographic Society, Traveler Trip Lit Columnist Don George sits down with best-selling author Frances Mayes–of the wildly popular memoir-turned-movie Under the Tuscan Sun–to discuss her latest memoir Every Day in Italy, about renovating a 13th-century house in the mountains above Cortona.

Tickets for the event are sold out, but you can submit a question via Twitter by adding #natgeolive to your tweets. Follow along with @NatGeoLive as Don and Frances discuss living la bella vita.

Join our next “conversation with great travel writers” on May 12. George sits down with Traveler contributing editor and 2010 SATW Travel Writer of the Year Andrew McCarthy (yes, that Andrew McCarthy) to talk about his most memorable travel adventures. Tickets are still available and can be purchased online.
