I'm crazy about my father, he's an amazing man, a real adventurer. He took us with him to travel all over the world. We were in places that were so remote, that white people hardly ever reach them.

It's hard now to imagine that kind of travel and the daily tasks they simply took for granted. If a wagon axle broke, you had to stop and carve a new one. To cross a river, you sometimes had to build a raft.

To enjoy enduring success we should travel a little in advance of the world.

The travel writer seeks the world we have lost - the lost valleys of the imagination.

I really enjoy travel, I enjoy the U.K., I enjoy Scotland, Glasgow.
