In the meantime, is there anything you would like to know about my travels? Like this blue-footed boobie, this is your change to surprise me.
My writing focus is on drawing out a narrative thread that holds a journey together. But my experience when I talk about travelling is people asking about things that I take for granted. Such as: what shoes do I pack? How do I manage money? How do I find hotels? What about food? How do I meet people? How much planning do I do? How do I manage my laundry? What about toilets?
These are the details of travelling that I now take for granted, thing I only think about if I'm asked about them. So this is your chance to ask me - anything. I'll do my best to answer over the next week or few.
Jo, I only want to know about the journey and the experiences you had, so I guess I'll have to wait for the book :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder how, when planning a trip to somewhere remote, you decide whether or not you need a guide? (and if so, what would be your first step towards finding one)?
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could take any of it for granted - I'd love to see those places but going alone would terrify me
ReplyDeleteMy question is similar to Jenny's. There are terrific guides around (in fact, I know a couple of people who write for them and they are pretty good). However, I always think that we make our own travel guide as we move along.
