I am a travel writer based in Adelaide, South Australia.
My favorite parts of the world to travel and write about are Latin America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Details can be found  at "mylinks" on RHS.

My passion is ...

to enjoy life to its fullest while I am able.

I know too much about ...

nothing. It is very important to keep going to courses and learn new things.

My parents always told me ...

to work hard at school. It has paid off at least in satisfaction of achievements.

My childhood ambition ...

was to be a geologist. This I achieved but I have since broadened my activities. Now I concentrate on doing a bit of reading, writing and arithmetic!

My favorite memory ...

is catching a limit bag of ten rainbow trout on the Tongariro River at Taupo, New Zealand, which is akin to winning a major prize in Lotto.

Why I write ...

I write now for the fun of it and providing information for other travellers. Really it is my charity work , a bit like working for "Meals on Wheels".. It pleases me to get favorable feedback.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Reading?....I find Scottish novelist Alexander McCall Smith both amuses and amazes me. Mostly I read detective novels. Problem is my demand exceeds the supply. Great joy it is to find a new (for me) writer. At the moment I am enjoying the novels of Ann Granger ("A Rare Interest in Corpses") and Peter Robinson ("All Colours of Darkness"). Also I enjoy Jeffrey Ashford and the "Melissa Craig Mystery" stories by English writer Betty Rowlands. For humor I like a P.G. Wodehouse.

My first job ...

after graduating from Uni was to work as a research chemist for the Linde Company, Union Carbide Corporation, in Buffalo NY.

My best moment ...

That's a hard one.... still thinking.

My inspiration ...

at the moment I am not inspired by anyone. Actually, I am dismayed at the gulliblity of some politicians with regard to the global warming hysteria.

Traveling is a great adventure. You can pretend you are like the Captain of a ship who keeps a daily log of where the ship is, where it’s going to and what happened en route. This is very important for those travelers who may at a later date want to write about their experiences as articles to Helium or magazines, or even a book. You can then refer to your journal or diary for details of your trip. My dictionary makes no distinction between a diary and journal. Both are listed as daily records of events, although journal is also used for business transactions and accounts. A travel l...
