Now available in paperback and in digital format: Please share on FB.


This is my longest and most varied work and it is the best book to start with as it an anthology of travel writings from 24 countries over 5 decades.

When my 11th travel journal was published, I decided that it was time for an anthology of my various travel writings over the years.

This would include excerpts from all the published works (including a chapter from my father’s autobiography, which I edited) and it would also contain writings from unpublished materials, spanning a period of 40 years.

It is written chronologically. It includes selected personal timelines, which incorporate cultural and historical moments and flavours, and I realise that it is (unintentionally) quite autobiographical.

It was fun writing this book. It is my biggest book to date; at over 350 pages and it is lavishly illustrated with original photographs.

I hope that I have managed to express the joys and frustrations as well as the wonders of travel and that I manage to bring a few smiles to those who read the book and that maybe I inspire some of you to visit the safer places in the selection.

If you have still not read any of my books, this is the best one to begin with, and I hope it will lead you towards the other books that I have written. If you are in a book club, I would appreciate if you would include this in your reading list and add some reviews to Amazon. I would also appreciate if you share this post on Facebook.

The book is available in paperback and in digital (Kindle) format.
