New: My feature on following the route of the Alaska pipeline through northern Alaska has just been published in the Independent on Sunday. Click on the link to read it.

The winners of my March–April travel-writing competition will be announced very soon. I haven't forgotten: I'm just swamped with too much to do, and so haven't written May's newsletter yet. But I'm hoping to get to it next weekend. In the meantime, my travel-writing competition for January-February was won by Ross Cormack, who submitted a delightful piece on a particularly uncomfortable shower he took while on the road in Chile. Ross wins the Bradt guide of his choice; read his entry here. Plus, the winner of my newsletter draw this month is Mohammed Abdalla Zayed, who wins a signed copy of one of my books.

Winning prizes at this website is easy. For the travel-writing competition, just email me in 500 words or less about your most bizarre, most beautiful, or most battering travel experience. More details here. To win the newsletter draw, all you have to do is join the mailing list and then hope your name comes out of the hat. You can sign up by filling in the boxes at the top right of this page.

And of course, if you click on those little buttons to the left, you'll find lots, lots more.
