| inside Ian's Website you will find... life is a real-time autobiography that grows as the years go by me is a name i call myself travel is from the outback to the arctic circle journalist is what i try to do but i can't hack it music is the food of love but you probably think i'm on a pretty poor diet books is what you should be reading and main index is where everything begins a bit like genesis |
| In this section, discover the places I've been to. I think I enjoy travelling more than anything else. Words cannot describe that mixture of fear and excitement of arriving at a new place for the first time. Travelling is not just about looking in awe at breathtaking landscapes or about experiencing the man-made beauty of a town or city, it's about the people you meet, the time you have to dream and the realisation that you are travelling through places other people call home. |
| My latest trip... Was to Morocco in December 2004. Read about it here 4 African Adventure |

| 4 Round the world from A to Z "each letter belongs to a place in the world where he has stayed and each chapter reveals a small chapter of his life" 4 Ian's guide to getting stuck on trains "soon the minibus seemed to evolve into a whole new civilisation where the morals and accepted behaviour of normal human society were forgotten" 4 Childers "how many times did I sit on the, now infamous, verandah overlooking the main street, sipping a cup of tea after a hard day's work without a care in the world with the two people who were killed just a couple of weeks later?" 4 Falling off a camel "delboy started galloping" |
