I have a regular blog spot with Authors Electric on the 24th of each month - and I suppose it's no surprise that, when it fell on a Monday in February, we should be in the same position in March.
So, if you are interested in my thinking about the ethics of writing about people you meet when travelling, then you can find me here.
On the other hand, if that all feels a bit heavy ... then I'm sorry, because I've another serious link for you. A week or so ago I blogged about poverty tourism. Jenny Woolf (some of you may know her - she's a wonderful English Travel Writer) signposted a website devoted to promoting ethical tourism, including a petition to put an end to tourists traipsing around orphanages. I'll not tell you more - for you can head across there and find out for yourself. Welcome to Tourism Concern.
Or if it's one of those days when you really can't think beyond looking at pictures, I've put a few more photographs from Cuba on my website here.
I think that's enough for a Monday morning.
Thanks Jo! I'll do the rounds! See you here next time!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the mention, of course, but even more, thanks for mentioning Tourism Concern - so worthwhile. I shall read your post when I get in (I am just about to go out) I am sure it will be interesting and worth reading.
