Bio 
- My headline
- Work in travel, would like to have time to travel more
- Me in a nutshell
I am an independent UK based travel consultant and travel writer. In my business, Europe a la Carte, I promote less well destinations in Europe. I believe that by venturing even slightly off the well worn tourist track you can see more of the real Europe and avoid the tourist traps. I never have enough time to do all the things I want to for my business; marketing, research, writing guides, database maintainence, keeping my blog up to date etc
- Things I like
Learning Italian. Spending time with my family(although I don’t know if our teenage sons would agree with me) Walks in the countryside (I am very lucky to live in a beautiful area). Building up my travel business.
Revealing Tidbits
- You're stuck in the middle seat on a plane between two celebrities. Who are they?
- Probably rather be sitting between 2 interesting friendly people, not sure how many celebrities would fulfil either of these criteria.
- Your cruise ship sank and you're stranded on a deserted island. What three things do you need?
- My husband, my computer (with broadband connection) and a plane (it's always nice to have a change of scene, even from paradise)
- Which National Lampoon's Vacation character are you most like? Clark, Ellen, Rusty, Audrey, Aunt Edna, Cousin Eddie, Hot Girl in Ferrari or The Guard at Wally World.
- I'm British so I am not familiar with this.
- Gusto is picking you up in a private jet. Where are you going?
- On a trip all around Italy with at least 50 stopovers

Thanks for sharing your photos. They are wonderful.
Thanks I am glad that you enjoyed them. i could never be bothered to carry around a camera and fiddle with all the knobs in the old days. Now with digital cameras it is easy to take great photos espciallly if you are in such lovely locations. I feel that photos really are worth a thousand words. i could wax lyrical about a place but a photo avoids all the flowery prose.
