    Matthew Felix

    Matthew Félix is an author and the host of "Matthew Félix On Air," a live weekly video podcast. Matthew has lived in San Francisco for more than 20 years. Adventure, humor, and spirituality infuse his work, which often draws on his time in Spain, France, and Turkey, as well as travels in over fifty countries. Matthew's debut novel, "A Voice Beyond Reason," is the story of how a young Spaniard's awakening to his intuition gets him out of his head, so he can follow his heart. Matthew's travel-story collection, "With Open Arms," recounts his humorous and harrowing experiences in Morocco. The collection has topped the Amazon Africa category, as well as the Morocco one three times. Matthew's latest collection, "Porcelain Travels," recounts humor, horror, and revelation in, on, and around toilets, tubs, and showers encountered on his travels. Matthew's video podcast, "Matthew Félix On Air," features guests discussing writing, travel, and whatever else piques Matthew's interest, from spirituality to cultural happenings to any good story worth exploring. Matthew has also produced three podcasts based on his books. When not working on writing projects or on the road, Matthew is likely to be found exploring the streets of San Francisco or hiking the trails of Northern California. matthewfelix.com
