Writer or travel-writer or adventurer ?  How will booksellers describe you, when we want to carry on selling your books?
 
A traveller-writer who Chance placed in the right place at the right time, enabling me to capture on the page many of history’s turning points: the fall of the Berlin Wall, Myanmar’s brief democratic flowering, the reopening of the Asia overland hippie trail and today’s hunger for meaning beyond the physical realm. As Robertson Davies put it in What’s Bred in the Bone, “What we call luck is the inner man externalised. We make things happen to us.”
