“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” – Saint Augustine.

 You have questions, I have answers (hopefully). If I don’t, I’ll find them for you. My knowledge is your knowledge, and a few times a year I share it with those interested in the travel industry. Topics… include travel writing, self publishing books, websites, et cetera.
