GREAT MOMENTS IN TRAVEL

When I would think, well this is what I’ve come for and the physical and psychological demands of the effort to get here, are now worth it:

  1. I’ve just finished reading your book and then found this blog. It was a fantastic read and I identified with so much of it. I went travelling in 1968 after teaching 5 years in Sydney. It lasted 7 years with overland journeys from Asia to London, across South America and London to Capetown as well as the U.S. & Canada and all Europe and the Soviet Union by car and camping. Now retired I am now scanning many of my slides and making photo books through blurb.com. My most recent book was on Morocco where I went in 1972 and 1974 so I loved reading and reliving places we had both visited. And all the places I had not been to and you had. All my books can be viewed online on the blurb.com bookshop site by entering my name. I once had a photo library called World Images but I abandoned it years ago when I was back in teaching and too busy to spend the time on the digital changeover.
