‘Writing this book was such fun. I poured in 25 years of my life as a writer, traveller and teacher. It’s the guide I wish I’d had when I started out.’ – Jonathan Lorie
Jonathan Lorie is a travel writer and editor, born in Paris and living in London. He has written about travel for all the UK’s main newspapers and travel magazines.
