Look up the word “peripatetic” in a thesaurus and take your pick: nomadic, traveling, wandering, roving, roaming. You can’t describe Neal Moore without using one of them.
Moore, 49, grew up in Southern California; attended college in Hawaii and Utah; fulfilled his mother’s dying wish by becoming a Mormon missionary in South Africa; joined a childhood friend in Taiwan where he taught English; worked on a presidential campaign in Iowa with his half-brother and canoed the Mississippi River from its source at Lake Itasca in Minnesota to New Orleans.
