You can start reading #TravelTakeaways in any order you like - stories - all true- are grouped thematically - e.g. stories about first encounters, scary experiences etc. Or you can search by country or continent you want to visit/visited. Maps at the back. Every place taught me something new.

Also a regular glorious sight there in the 1980s when I was living in Rome. I should have mentioned in one of my short stories about Italy in my book, Travel Takeaways.
