Andrew Davison is a very amateur travel writer. He writes Travel Tales and More for his own amusement and occasionally that of others. His travels – which began as a twenty-five year old backpacker in 1993 – have taken him to around thirty countries so far.
Originally from the North East of England, he lived in Hong Kong for twenty-three years, where he failed miserably to learn any Cantonese whatsoever.
He relocated to London in 2017, and now lives in the leafy ‘burbs of Twickenham in a nice house with a garden shed. He continues to work as a marketing research consultant, has finally accepted his football career is over and has recently turned to running, completing the Great North Run in 2019 (and has barely run a yard since).
Travel Tales And More features a mixture of articles, essays, diary entries and anecdotes, from thirty years of travels and holidays. Most items are long-form narratives, usually magazine-article length. Some are longer. Our aim is to tell stories.
So as much as we love them we’re not Lonely Planet or Trip Advisor. We’re not into up-to-the-minute bus timetables, hotel recommendations or top-ten lists (although I do love a good list, so never say never).
– What We Did On Our Holidays are magazine length pieces documenting trips to various parts of the world.
– Sleeping for England are the backpacking diaries from eighteen months spent in Asia and Australia in 1993-1995.
– From Kilimanjaro To Kinabalu chronicles trips to notable mountains such as Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and Kinabalu in Malaysian Borneo, and a few other less notable ones in between.
And Photo Galleries, are, well, photos.
So pour yourself a glass of wine, chuck a log on the fire, and read on…
