Once abroad, I eat one meal a day picnic-style: Ive learned that no mature stomach can tolerate an endless routine of rich restaurant meals.

In general, my advice is to seek out people and new ideas when you travel.

I regard Paris as a feast for the eyes, the senses and brain. It is a phenomenal city.

What a treasure of awesome sights and attractions our country has.

I find, on my own travels, that the most depressing form of culture shock is experienced when you go into a country that is under the thumb of a dictator.

Luckily you cannot get to the Golden Triangle in a bus. You can only access it on your own two feet!

If I tell a hotel I'm a travel writer, I can't get out of there without spending a few hours looking at every single room!
