John Aitkenhead

Shortly after relocating from New Zealand in 1980, John and his wife of 52 years, Susy, settled at Mudgeeraba on the Gold Coast, Australia, where they cleared a building site amidst an acre of wooded land and built their home. For 22 years, John served on the board of governors of a well-known independent college which he co-founded in 1983. The inspiration of this book arises from 30 years of international travel through his ship-broking business to amazing areas of the world depicted in Silk Road, his fourth published book. However, the greatest inspiration comes from his family, his own amazing life experiences and those whose lives have touched him.
