Stories: travel writing my way to home ...

An Introduction

There are two sections here:

"The People I met" I travel looking to find a place to live. Not to see everything on the tourist trail. As such I often get a unique insight into countries and people that many other travelers do not get a chance to see.

Here you will find articles on the places and everyday people I have met during my travels. An interesting insight into people from around the world and their everyday lives in their homes as our paths crossed in search of my own.

"My Travelogues" Sometimes I don't get time on the road to write everything up or give a place enough coverage. Or, it has a special meaning to me. This is where you will find those entries.

Podcasts are available for all Articles marked with a *

A few more notes about this page:

A lot of what I write on the The Longest Way Home's Travel Blog/Journal, is done from bad cyber cafe keyboards, and done at speed to avoid living in them. I have dyslexia and thus my two sided brain waves collide faster than you can say super-collider!

What I try to produce here, on this page, is something a little more structured.

Having said that I do not pretend to create shakespearean nor literary astute works. Through "The People I met" I hope to introduce another side of life the tourism sector's often leave out. It's not always glitzy, but, it is interesting and real.

I have always written, even from an early age. It was one of my first forms of childhood escapism. It hasn't let me down so far.

I like to write to create universal enjoyment; something everyone can touch base with and enjoy.

I have published non-fiction educational material in the past. And now, I have just completed a novel about the story of a guy discovering freedom while chasing after love and fulfillment on an overland journey plagued by dark shadows of the past. Hmm, sound familiar ... actually it's quite different from what I write about online. The book is travel fiction.

I hope you enjoy my work here, and yes I like feedback! Feel free to contact me... :-)
