My journeys develop much the same way as a great novel with a beginning, a middle and end.  They start with something that has inspired me, stopped me in my tracks where I gaze up to the sky and lose my reality for a moment.   

This sparks the fire that I HAVE TO GO THERE at all costs!  This inspiration usually comes from a novel I’m reading or from another great love of mine, cooking.  In fact, the strong urge to travel to the ‘Northern Lights’ last year came during an episode of ‘Adam Liaw’s Destination Flavour series, when he visited Svalbard in the Arctic Circle.
