THIS SECTION FOR TRAVEL EDITORS NOT UPDATED SINCE 1843, OR THEREABOUTS ...

Want fresh soft-adventure travel and lifestyle writing that crackles with colourful quotes, humorous anecdotes and unique cultural insights from locals met along the way? Then chances are you'll find several pieces on this site perfect for you and your readership.

During 21 years as a professional writer, I have flown over 500,000 kilometres to 38 countries (some revisited several times). I prefer the more spirited anything-goes 'emerging' countries to the pre-ordained, so-called 'civilised' societies. My penchants are for colonial history (especially the great period of discovery by the Portuguese, Spanish, Chinese and Dutch), travelling by two-wheels (anything from a gleaming Harley to an old pedal-powered bone-shaker with a picnic basket), and great train journeys (about 20,000 kilometres and counting).

I've made my available articles, pitch proposals and photos searchable by destination, special interest category, or word length. And new stories are flagged each time you come back to the site. It couldn't be easier for you; or more engaging for your readers.

Think of this as your own personal 'wire' service for travel and lifestyle features.

Cheers,

Stu Lloyd.
