People say it's a small world. But it isn't - it's enormous. I've travelled a fair bit, both as a back-packer and a more mature(ahem)holidaymaker. I didn't make it abroad until I was 18 but since then I've been to nearly fifty countries, including a recent nine month trip around SE Asia, Australia, New Zealand and South America. Northern Hemsiphere next!! I have written professionally as a local journalist and in local tourism and marketing. I also write creatively, with a respectable number of stories and poems published, and a novel in progress.
