She takes her readers on epic journeys to Jordan, Scotland, and Egypt, among other exotic places, all the while providing insights and witty travel advice.

Around the World in 80 Movies is the work of a film location mastermind and engaging travel companion who will delight and enlighten readers with her clever and piquant mixture of film lore and travel experiences.

Robin Holabird is also the author of Elvis, Marilyn, and the Space Aliens: Icons on Screen in Nevada. A regular film reviewer for Reno Public Radio, she scouted film locations as a film commissioner for the Nevada Film Office and has traveled the world discovering favorite movie sites.
