BROADENING MY HORIZONS
This book tells of my journeys through South East Asia and Nepal. Set against a backdrop of poverty and hardship the reader will meet people who continually face their challenges with courage, resilience, and a sense of humour.
I am now writing a sequel which has taken me to the Mediterranean, North Africa and the Middle East. 2010 will see me travelling to Jordan, Syria and Lebanon to meet the locals and perhaps present a perspective that could challenge commonly held beliefs about these people.
