Stupid Tourists, the World's Original Travelers, and Ash Cloud Ireland
We've got another great collection of articles from wandering book authors, this month hitting three continents. First up, guidebook writer Michelle Bigley makes her debut discussing the conundrum of tourists looking for “hidden Kauai” and ending up in places they shouldn’t be.
Bruce Northam returns to look at an array of impressions from Ethiopia,
land of the first people to go wandering and never come back.
Rachel Dickinson flies to Ireland for a simple writing assignment and gets stuck for an extra week waiting for Iceland’s volcanic ash to clear.
Graham Reid fires up the CD player again, giving us the scoop on which new world music collections are worth checking out.
See it all here: June issue of Perceptive Travel.
