"Everyone tells me the animals are somewhere else. There are no animals, they have all been eaten" "No, I see lots by the water. The chimpanzees are in groups. They attack small people and try to fu*k the woman when they are alone". "Do they ever succeed? You mean they want sex with people?" "Yes, sometimes they find woman. If she fights they bite her neck and kill her". Sudan - "They murder someone to get married?"."No, they just cut off the penis". Central African Republic - "If you do get attacked when you leave here, look at the ground at all time and do not make eye contact. Let them take whatever they want and do not say or do anything. They may let you live, but never look at them". ... At dusk, the chief presented me with a large wooden bowl filled with a green paste."This is too much for me to eat," I said. "Eat whatever you like and leave the rest," the chief replied. As I finished picking through the green paste, I noticed everyone staring at me. Eventually, I realized they were waiting for me to hand them the bowl. I had presumed it was an extra generous serving, but the food had been intended for the entire village. I had eaten half of it, and the chief then took my plate and ate my leftovers. The others shared the remainder when he was finished. It dawned on me that I had unwittingly eaten the entire food supply for everyone in the village.

Tales of Mr Explorer* This a travel book with a difference.'Tales of Mr Explorer' captures the adventures of an ordinary family man with a normal office job who has a passion for wilderness, wildlife and travel.Hopefully these tales relate some of the interesting moments experienced during my trips including instances of awe, enlightenment, fear, my stupidity, human kindness, deep sadness as well as huge joy.For example; 'Kissing a 45ton female Gray Whale on the lips - in the wild.' 'Being hunted by a three to four metre Nile Crocodile'. 'Sitting two metres from a Male Silverback Gorilla'.It was written primarily so my grandchildren could enjoy my adventures as well as encouraging them to explore the wider world. I have experienced many similar situations to those shown on the famous David Attenborough TV series. Hopefully my book will inspire people and show that these opportunities are available without huge costs and without dedicating months of time. Mike HelliwellMr Explorer*Why Mr Explorer? My daughter is a primary school teacher and I often go into school to support her teaching. I talk to children, aged between four and six, about animals and the world. My character name is Mr Explorer. The children get very excited when Mr Explorer comes to school. I started this as a 'bit of fun' for both the children and myself. However, talking to the teachers they told me they get a lot of positive opportunities from these sessions. Children, especially the disruptive ones, become engaged with the subject and the teachers use this as a teaching tool for weeks afterwards. I now see this as more than just fun but 'giving something back'. In one particular lesson a year 5 boy put his hand up at the end of the lesson and said "When I grow up I am going to be Mr Explorer".

After eight years working in Japan, immersing herself in its language and literature, Lesley Chan Downer set off in the footsteps of Matsuo Basho, Japan's most cherished poet, to explore the country's remote northern provinces. Basho's pilgrimage to find the landscapes that had inspired the great medieval poets gave birth to Japan's most famous travel book, rich in strange imagery and sometimes comic encounters along the road. In this intriguing cross-threading of journeys, perceptions and exquisite haiku, Lesley creates her own funny, loving and honest portrayal of contemporary Japan. As she walks, she finds at one and the same time a drab post-industrial landscape of concrete and cable, but also a land still full of the old enchantments. Nights in thatched highland villages and sake-drenched poetry sessions encourage her to see for herself if any of the legendary hermit-priests still survive in the sacred mountains of the north.

Joe Roberts stayed for five months with the Trivedi family in Bangalore, while traveling all over southern India. In Pondicherry he found Rita, a melancholic divorcee banished to an ashram. He saw the great temple at Madurai, watched the snakeboat races at Arunmala, stayed with Syriac Christians at Cochin and was offered heroin in the Jewish cemetery. Wherever he went he met extraordinary people, but these encounters take second place to his ripening friendship with the Trivedi family, and his exact chronicling of their neighbors. As Major Trivedi warned him 'nothing is as fixed as you think'. Three Quarters of a Footprint has long fascinated readers with its gentle, perceptive humor, chilled occasionally by a shadow of menace, as if the spirit and wit of R K Narayan had been reborn in an Englishman.

After leaving the British Army I started to question what the world had to offer. So, at the age of 22 and a bit, I started my quest to hitchhike around Europe to try and find work to fund my ongoing travels. This task was a lot harder than I had first anticipated.

Descended from Mughal nobility, Akhtar al-Nisa Begum Nawab Sarbuland Jung grew up in Hyderabad in southern India, where she lived a quiet, private, and privileged life at the heart of the state's royal court. In 1896, at the age of 20, she married Nawab Muhammad Hamidullah Khan Sarbuland Jung, a prominent lawyer and the scion of a leading Muslim reformist movement. In 1909, the wealthy couple embarked on a four-month journey through the Middle East and Europe, performing the hajj in Mecca and sitting for tea with the future king and queen of England. A Journey to Mecca and London provides the first full English translation of Begum Sarbuland's travel diary from this journey, of which only two extant copies in their original publication remain. Originally intended for circulation among friends and family and later published in Urdu, her informal entries not only reveal the everyday practices of an Indian woman of her time, but also detail her impressions and reactions as she explored the world alongside her husband. As Begum Sarbuland encountered other women and Muslims during her travels, those encounters in turn shaped her reassessment of her own identity as a Muslim woman, and her observations hold continued significance for those who confront critical questions about gender, Islam, and identity. Daniel Majchrowicz has thoroughly annotated his translation and paired it with rich appendices, including a biographical sketch of Begum Sarbuland and excerpts from Hamidullah Khan's concurrent travel accounts.Engagingly written and substantiated with years of original research and archival work, A Journey to Mecca and London restores the nearly forgotten narrative of one of India's first Muslim women travel writers to its rightful place in Indian and Islamic history.

Cambodia and Vietnam, or Asia in general awakens your physical senses, the constant noise of traffic and street sellers peddling their wares, the incredible colour of temples and the smell of incense sticks and spices. Your tongue and taste buds are in culinary heaven, divine food fusions from across the continent have been merged into regional specialities. Shoes are on and off, cold tiled floors on bare feet are one of life's simple pleasures in the heat of the day. Asia makes you wonder if you have been living numb in your day-to-day life, four months away and all our senses have been jolted and kick-started back to life.This will be the second time that we have travelled extensively around Southeast Asia, on the first occasion we visited Chiang Mai in northern Thailand, before spending a month each in both Cambodia and Vietnam. We had both been made redundant when our employer entered administration, the chance to travel was too good an opportunity to pass up. Rather than satisfying that craving we wanted more, and after working another two years in jobs that we had found unfulfilling, we gave in our notices to go backpacking once again.This time our Thailand experience will be minimal, a few nights in Bangkok following our flight before heading onto Cambodia and Siem Reap. Our plan for the rest of the Cambodian leg is to follow the same route that we covered last time, a relaxing, confidence building start as we retrace our steps around some familiar sights. On a southerly path from Siem Reap, home to the incredible Angkor Wat, a stay in Battambang splits the long trek to Phnom Penh in half. After the hectic mayhem of the Cambodian capital we will take in the riverside town of Kampot followed by the small beach resort of Kep.The last time we were in Vietnam we took the bus from Ho Chi Minh City to Cần Thơ on the Mekong Delta and then flew from there to the central region, visited Hội An and then flew out again to Hanoi. This time we are looking to take in the places that we leapfrogged over! If everything goes to plan, we should get our first ever taste of the Central Highland city of Dalat, before heading back towards the coast. Nha Trang and Quy Nhon promise two completely different beach experiences, one modern and bustling with foreign tourists and the other a more traditional low-key fishing harbour. On top of these new locations another visit to our old favourite Hội An, a well-preserved ancient town, famous for fantastic food and within cycling distance of nearby beaches and islands. On route from central Vietnam to Hanoi we intend to spend a weekend in Danang and witness the fire-breathing Dragon Bridge in full flow. The Imperial city of Huế is somewhere that we regrettably overlooked last time, travelling there by a short railway journey along the scenic coastline has been highly recommended. Ninh Binh, or Tam Cốc - we are not sure which yet - both look stunning, limestone karsts with green paddy fields and river deltas passing through. From Hanoi we plan a second visit to the hill station of Sapa set amongst stunning terraced mountains. A visit to the eastern coast will also be on the agenda - maybe a Halong Bay cruise or even a stay on one of the islands. A trip to Cao Bằng and the Bản Giốc waterfalls that straddle the border between the north of Vietnam and China should also be possible. Unfortunately, we don't ride scooters, never mind motorbikes but the mountainous scenery in that area is supposed to be breathtakingly beautiful.By the time that we return home from Hanoi we expect to have covered just over 2,800 miles, mainly by bus but with the odd rail journey thrown in for good measure. Our excitement and anticipation are interspersed with dread - flashbacks of the countless hours of blaring Cambodian karaoke shows on never-ending bus journeys that are still firmly etched in the memory from four years ago...

Only 22,000 people have completed the Marathon des Sables since its inception in 1986. The medal remains the property of a very exclusive club. For my 60th birthday, I set about being awarded the medal I so coveted, completing six marathons in five days, during the hottest MdS ever recorded. This book is about how I went about navigating that journey. Entering Elderhood, I realise that it's time to be seen and heard.
