An attractive, personal, superbly curated evocation of the golden age of travel right up to the present day. Travellers All is a meticulously researched work on the history of travel writing and travel writers, and seeks to rekindle a love (and hate occasionally) of the works of our finest writers.
There is a thematic approach which includes twenty-seven chapters of commentary on the experiences of the various authors on such topics as packing, means of travel, attitudes to local people, sex and love on the road, companions, food and drink, reasons for travel etc. Each chapter has sections, for example ‘Everyday Living’ includes a commentary (with short indicative quotes) on accommodation, daily chores, cooking, bugs, sleep (or lack of it), general filth, conversation, entertainment and so on.
A large number of the classic (and sometimes less than classic) travel books are visited and the author reflects on how travel has evolved and changed. It is hoped that brief extracts from illuminates like Cable or Crane, Thesiger or Theroux, Kinglake or Kingsley and Bryson or Bridges will develop, with the commentary, an empathy for the hopes and adventures of some wonderful works. In passing, the marvellous tapestry of past and present corners of our world, as well as of its people, are revealed through different travellers’ eyes.

New Boundaries, New Beginnings
What if the life you have always wanted was not waiting on more effort, more sacrifice, or more time, but on something simpler and far more powerful: the clarity, structure, and strength that boundaries create?
Most of us were never taught how to set boundaries; we were taught to please, perform, and push through. This book changes that.
New Boundaries, New Beginnings shows you how thoughtfully designed boundaries become the pathway to authentic living, deeper relationships, and a life that genuinely fits who you are. This isn’t about building walls. It’s about creating the conditions where you—and the people you care about—can truly thrive.
Inside, you will learn to:
- Tune into your body’s wisdom to recognise when boundaries are needed
- Say no with confidence while deepening, not damaging, your relationships
- Design fluid, evolving guidelines that grow with your changing needs
- Navigate difficult conversations with clarity and calm
- Transform workplace dynamics without sacrificing collaboration
Through the BOUNDARY framework and a practical 28-day journey of transformation, you will draw on proven approaches from somatic awareness and cognitive behavioural therapy to build a life of genuine clarity and fulfilment.
Whether you are a high achiever seeking balance, a sensitive soul needing protection, or simply someone ready to reclaim their own power—this book meets you where you are.
