Travelling Is My Life
1. I am very fortunate.I am now a much-travelled woman,but until I was 20 I had never been anywhere more remote than Londan .And coming from a country village in the far south I was struck by the architectural beauty of the capital.I understood immediately why foreign tourists descend on it in their thousands.
2. The first time I traveled abroad was when I went over to France on a cross Channel ferry.It was a school trip to Paris for a week,and I thought it was wonderful.The sights,the sounds,the smells,the language-they were all wonderful. I had never experienced anything like it,and the week had a profound effect on me.It gave me the travel bug!
3. As a young girl I was always shy of strangers.I certainly had no plans to travel a lot.I left school and trained as a journalist on a local paper.and somehow slowly began to concentrate on travel .I had a procession of jobs before I got this one with the magazine.Although I still write articles on other subjects,my main occupation now is writing travel and tourism.
4. I can appreciate now why tourists go halfway across the world to visit a place.I was brought up in the vicinity of a major British tourist attraction,but never went there myself and couldn't understand foreign visitors.You read about something halfway across the world and want to see it for yourself. I remember that was just why I went walking in the Himalayas and looked up at Everest, and why I went on a strange but wonderful cruise in the Antarctic .You can read about a place,but it is totally different to be there,to see,feel,smell and hear everything yourself.
5. Perhaps not surprisingly I have been to a lot of popular tourist resorts in Europe,Africa,the Far East and the West Indies,for example.But I like to try and find those unknown,inaccessible places-not only for myself,but also for people who want something different. Sometimes it's frightening .I remember visiting a village on the side of a steep hill in Bolivia where the inhabitants stood motionless as I walked in and didn't move until I walked out.
6. The career of the previous travel writer on the magazine I work for now came to an abrupt end when he quite simply disappeared somewhere in South America.He was on a special journey and had told someone at his hotel that he had found a native to ferry him up a river to some remote villages in the jungle.Nothing has been heard from him since then.One day I'd like to try and find out what happened to him.
