Travel Stories? We love them...

But tell me, how did you end up in a Chinese jail?

'Well there was a castle on top of the hill so I decided to go up and take pictures. Then I spotted a man following me, waving his arms, Sir, Sir, he shouted. Wants to sell me something, I thought, so the faster he walked, the quicker I went until I reached the gate. That's when I saw the guards, ready to escort me inside...'

Now, do you have a story to tell, yours or maybe from a fellow traveller?
 I bet you do, lots of them, humorous, dramatic, mysterious, amazing, we all want to read them and that's what travel writing is about...
So why not give it a go?

Here comes a little book to help you do just that and earn money along the way.
Less than a month to publication and if you'd like a peep, you can preview on Amazon.

And just in case you thought I'm the pretty girl on the cover, I'm not....

Travel Writing, could this be you?

Dreams come true

Your name in print, free travel, extra cash, could this be you?
It isn't as hard as you think...
All you need are basic writing skills and a fair dose of determination.

 I took the long road to success - didn't know any better- but this little book of mine will show you how to get there so much faster. Follow the advice and before you know it, you could be selling every travel feature you write.

Features?
Well, that's the quickest way to get into print and whenever you hit the mark -as you will - your confidence soars and there's no stopping you. The whole English-speaking world is yours and the market as vast as you want it to be.

Travel writing changed my life, it could change yours.
Are you willing to give it a go?

'Be a Travel Writer' is on its way and if you'd like to preview on  Amazon, just click on the link.

Love Travel, Want to Write?

Could this be you, blue sea, white sand and a laptop?

Here's 'a great little book' to show you what to do, step by step.

It's for anyone willing to give it a try, even if you can only snatch a little time now and then.

 Write a story, send it to a magazine, make money for your next holiday...

How does that sound?

That's what I do and if I can, anyone can! 

So I'd love to share a few tips with you, call them short cuts if you like, and you could start living your dreams right away.

It's an easy read too with amusing stories and anecdotes, of the kind 'it happened to me', and like any travel writer, I hope to make you smile you as well as guide you along.

So would you like to give it a go, 'make money the easy way'?

Take a peep on Amazon , you can preview the intro and content and pre-order if you wish...

Expected: June 27th

Let me know how you get on and I'll see you on the road!

Where the Locals Go by National Geographic

Fun in Hong Kong ©Solange Hando

Do you enjoy travelling but prefer to stray off the beaten track and have fun with the locals?

I suggest you take a look at this new National Geographic book titled Where the Locals Go, affordable as a paperback and now available on Amazon.

It covers over 300 places, spanning every continent, showing you how and where to relax, celebrate, shop, eat and play as the locals do. From the Taipei night market to the thermal pools of New Zealand, from a Hula shakedown in Hawai to the Nepali Festival of Lights, it's filled with ideas and tips so you can be a real traveller and share a genuine experience.

 There's also a special section on great cities of the world, revealing the locals' favourite hot spots. How to enjoy Arts and Food in New York, Samba till you drop in Rio, party under the cherry blossom in Tokyo, cycle in St Petersburg, discover the Opera Kitchen in Sydney and more.

This book is beautifully illustrated and sure to inspire and although I contributed a number of features, mostly on Asia, I have no financial interest in promoting it.

I recommend it truly from the heart.
