Travel author, photographer, explorer, and writer based in Minnesota
"Wanna-be travelers will find the variety of travels and the life-changing career transformations to be equally vivid and attractive, whether they plan on riding along with Carolynn in an armchair with Traveling in Wonder, or embarking on a similar journey themselves, keeping wonder at the forefront of anticipations about immersion into unfamiliar territory." -Midwest Book Review
"The author's account of her travels, and her determination to travel to as many places as possible, makes for an engrossing narrative." -The BookLife Prize
“[But] aside from the tips and photos what really grabbed me was Autumn’s story: her bravery in undertaking the trips alone, her angst when faced with challenging situations… It really is a gripping account, written with modesty and honesty.” -Andrew Smith, Goodreads Librarian
Starting from a wild idea of visiting 30 countries within 30 years, Autumn Carolynn set off to learn what it takes to endure the many aspects of the travel world. From studying abroad to being a previous flight attendant, travel agent, travel design manager, and now, a travel photographer, one can explore what it takes to capture the wonder of travel. Autumn created her own business, Autumn Carolynn Photography, in the summer of 2020.
Autumn sells her travel photography at art festivals, museums, exhibitions, online, and in stores. Upon accomplishing her goal of 30 in 30, she documented the entire experience in her new book, Traveling in Wonder. Her tips and tricks in the travel industry are found in various aspects of her social media presence and during her speaking events.
