228.In lands of uproars and upheavals
John Sanders has covered many exciting events over the years while writing as a freelance journalist. Tired of his life back in Kansas, where everything had a boring and utilitarian end, he felt the urge to utilize his writing skills and his sense of adventure, often going to poor, dangerous, and out of the way places to cover interesting events. While most of the world spends their time upgrading their travel plans, John is likely to turn in his train tickets for a spot between the humps of a camel. He has covered a variety of events, from violent urban uprisings to large-scale government upheavals. He has interviewed a variety of personalities, including unwieldy congressmen, urbane urbanites, and those who have been uprooted from their homes for lack of basic utilities as various political uproars shattered their fragile governments.
