"Let your memory be your travel bag."
Alexander Solzhenitsyn

About Me: I was once a frustrated travel writer and then a work colleague told me about IGOUGO and now I'm an addict, re-living my treasured hoilday experiences through the written word. My wife, an IGOUGO widow tolerates my new found obsession because she knows it means more holidays for both of us. We've recently developed the travel bug and now intend to visit as many different places as time (and money) will allow.

An added bonus - writing for IGOUGO has helped fund my developing passion - photography. A new digital SLR has ensured that holidays are spent snapping as well as writing! My wife, accepting my interest in IGOUGO has encouraged me to buy a netbook so I can "keep on top" of my writing!

Travel's a great hobby - long may it continue!!
