My passion for wildlife
began early

I used to smuggle roadkill into the house despite my mother's preference for flowers.

    Staying Healthy When You Travel

    This little book is now at the top of my packing list along with 'passport' and 'tickets'. It is written with a calm, common sense approach and with a layout that makes it easy to find information in a bit of a panic. If your youngster is off on a Gap Year they may not thank you for giving them something so practical and heavy to take along with them as a book (and this one is not exactly heavy). Buy it anyway and stuff it in their rucksack when they're not looking. It'll give them a chance to avoid the avoidable nasties and will give them a giggle as they read some of the anecdotes when they discover that the TV in Laos is not up to much! While you're at it, get a copy for yourselves, it's an oddly fun read for a book about bugs, beasties and illness.

    How to Shit Around the World

    Very funny but also rather useful.. some things I wish I knew before I travelled to Pakistan for the first time. And some things I now wish I didn’t know.
