I am a grandmother of four and have travelled independently to many countries since retiring but for the past 4 years I have been returning to Uganda I have helped a small community in the south west Uganda to open a Guest House that is suitable for volunteers to stay awhile - and then help in the local schools, our own nursery school and with womens groups in the area. I am now actively looking for volunteers to go out there - and be sure that any money they spend - either at the Lodge (£50 per week for full board & accommodation) will stay within and ultimately help that community See www.ugandalodge.com |

I have 2 very complementary addictions: travel and photography, that's why this website of all the ones I visited seems to me the most appropriate. I hope through it to exchange tips and secrets about travel and photography. I like travel in all shapes and fashion- except maybe package tours on the Costa Brava!- My favourite trip of all times was when years ago, my husband and I drove a land-Rover all the way from UK to Delhi and back. Pity that in those days I was not taking pictures and I did not write a diary. Memories fade! what I find most gratifying now are travels for a cause like trekking in the Moroccan Sahara for Médecins du Monde, running in Senegal for La Sénégazelle, or doing some 'community challenge' in Namibia (that's my next 'responsible' trip) for a charity. Africa is an alltime magnet and I always have an African trip planned on the horizon as soon as I come back from one! Africa and deserts are the ultimate spriritual experience for me. The feeling of being as small as one of these grains of sand in the immensity of the landscape is awesome! I love Europe as well, and have so much to discover still of my 'old' continent. I loved walking a week of the GR20 in Corsica in June this year and I loved lazying in an ' Agritourismo' near Verona and going to hear Carmen in the Roman Arena. I love living in Manchester; it's its imperfections that make it so endearing, I think. France is my country of origin and each time I go there I am discovering something new; it is so varied and beautiful! Further afield I would like to visit Mongolia (The Gobi Desert)and go back to Laos and Vietnam where I lived for a while when I was a child. |

I love to discover new places with a relaxed atmosphere and quirky local customs and stories. I hate the herd instinct! |

I grew up next door to a farm in Berkshire and spent the majority of my childhood mucking out horses. After leaving school I travelled to Africa and spent a year doing various jobs from hatching crocodiles to driving and cooking for safari companies whilst making my way slowly and not altogether directly from Cape to Cairo I arrived in Egypt with £5 and no ticket home. On my return to England I started making tea and typing things for people who worked in television production companies and gradually worked my way up the ladder to becoming a producer. In 1994 I left for Africa with my husband of two years, Ludo. Together we drove around Southern Africa in a broken down pick-up for several months and then sold it to buy tickets to Madagascar. This journey was to become the subject of the first article I wrote for ‘The Telegraph’. I joined the BBC, working first on the long running series ‘Animal Hospital’ and then joined the ‘Holiday Programme’ I continued working both behind and in front of the camera until in 1999 a ten year obsession got the better of me and Ludo and I left for Mali to travel 1500kms through the Sahara desert on foot and camel with salt traders. On my return I continued presenting programmes for the BBC including ‘The Essential Guide to Rocks’, ‘Tomorrow’s World’, ‘Animal Park’ and ‘Rough Science’. My passion for diving lead to my first job with the BBC’s Natural History Unit when I was asked to go to the Caymen Islands and dive in a submarine to look for the rarely seen six gill shark for ‘The Abyss’. Another live deep water series ‘Beyond the Abyss’ followed the next year as well as ‘Wild in Your Garden’ with Bill Oddie. The immensely popular and successful ‘Springwatch’ followed, along with ‘Amazon Abyss’, ‘Wild in Africa’ and ‘Seawatch’. I still contribute to several magazines and newspapers, and am co-author of the ‘Springwatch & Autumnwatch’ book, and present a number of science and natural history programmes for the BBC, including ‘Climate Change: Britain Under Threat’, ‘Wild in California’ ‘Springwatch’ and ‘Autumnwatch’. I launched www.stuffyourrucksack.com [web link] in 2007. It's a website where travellers can help each other to give practical assistance to people who have the least, but often give the most. It's not about taking sweets and pens to encourage children to beg; nor is it about handing out money. It's about helping small, legitimate organisations that get little or no help from their government or from NGOs |

I work in community based tourism in Ethiopia, and have done guiding to different parts of the country. I spent 5 years backpacking round parts of the globe and fell in love with Ethiopia then. |

Adventure travel to the most out of the way and unexplored areas of the world is my passion. I've been to the Sahara, the Congo River basin, the Andes, and the Amazon. Swum with pink dolphins and whales, hunted with Pygmies, watched a silverback gorilla chastise his rebellious son, and drunk millet beer with a village chief. I now run DreamWeaver Travel Company and we specialize in offering others these kinds of experiences and in making our travel a positive thing for the communities we visit and the world at large. |
