My passion for wildlife
began early

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

    50 Camels and She's Yours

    50 Camels... is a delightful collection of engaging and entertaining travel stories from all around the world. Whether you've visited the places (or similar) and are looking to reminisce our whether you wish to read tales from places you've never been, you're sure to find this collection a pleasure.

    How to Shit Around the World

    I just wish someone had given me this book before my last trip to India where I caught giardia. I like to think that this book may have helped. I had to bribe a bus driver to stop the bus in open country near Jaipur, but couldn't perform under the bemused gaze of about 50 Indian travellers. When I got back on the bus my bowels exploded when the bus hit the next pot-hole in the road and I soiled myself. If that was not enough, half an hour later I vomited on an elderly woman sitting next to me who had until that point been polite enough not to mention the horrendous smell. I'll remember to pack this book next time I travel in the hope of avoiding a repeat of this ghastly experience.

    Sometimes perhaps a short life and a happy one is better than anything we doctors have to offer.
