（1）l am very fortunate. I am now a much-travelled woman, but until I was 20 I had never been anywhere more remote than Londan. And coming from a country village in the far south I was struck by the architectural beauty of the capital. I understood immediately why foreign tourists de-scend on it in their thousands.
（2）The first time I traveled abroad was when I went over to France on a cross Channel ferry. It was a school trip to Paris for a week,and I thought it was wonderful. The sights, the sounds, the smells,the language--they were all wonderful. I had never experienced anything like it, and the week had a profound effect on me. It gave me the travel bug!      
（3）As a young girl l was always shy of strangers. I certainly had no plans to travel a lot. I left school and trained as a journalist on a local paper, and somehow slowly began to concentrate on travel. I had a procession of jobs before I got this one with the magazine. Although I still write at-ticles on other subjects, my main occupation now is writing travel and tourism.
（4）I can appreciate now why tourists go halfway across the world to visit a place. I was brought up in the vicinity of a major British tourist attraction, but never went there myself and couldn't under-stand foreign visitors. You read about something halfway across the world and want to see it for yourself. I remember that was just why I went walking in the Himalayas and looked up at Evere.st,and why I went on a strange but wonderful cruise in the Antarctic. You can read about a place, but it is totally different to be there, to see ,feel, smell and hear everything yourself.
（5）Perhaps not surprisingly I have been to a lot of popular tourist resorts in Europe, Africa, the Far East and the West Indies ,for example. But I like to try and find those unknown, inaccessible places--not only for myself, but also for people who want something different. Sometimes it's frightening. I remember visiting a village on the side of a steep hill in Bolivia where the inhabitants stood motionless as I walked in and didn't move until I walked out.
（6）The career of the previous travel writer on the magazine I work for now came to an abrupt end wher~ he quite simply disappeared somewhere in South America. He was on a special journey and had told someone at his hotel that he had found a native to ferry him up a river to some remote vil-lages in the jungle. Nothing has been heard from him since then. One day I'd like to try and find out what happened to him.
