Considering I hadn\u2019t set foot on an aeroplane before I was 30, it\u2019s remarkable that in the intervening decades I have begun to enjoy travel for its own sake. $\"DSC_3530\"$ <\/p>\n

My partner Sue is even more of a travel addict so we tend to clock up the air miles whenever we can.\u00a0 Our philosophies, however, take us in different directions.\u00a0 When we have been somewhere we like, I want to go back, she wants to find somewhere new.<\/p>\n

Being writers, of course, we write about these places and have been published in the travel pages of the Sydney Morning Herald, the Sun-Herald, the Australian Financial Review, the Australian and too many magazines to mention.<\/p>\n

For the past few years I have been a guest lecturer in travel writing at Boston University’s Sydney campus, introducing young American students to the joys of writing about something\u00a0you love … and, if you’re lucky, getting paid for it.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I have become a bit of a Vietnam addict and have even started leading tours there.\u00a0 All of which has led to the creation of my website www.mildrover.com <\/a>where you can find stories and pictures from some of the places I have been. \u00a0There are also details of my next tour of Vietnam, for readers and writers, in October 2016.<\/p>\n

You will find most of my travel stuff by clicking on MildRover.com<\/a>\u00a0but there
\nare still a few pieces HERE<\/a>. You can read more about Sue on her website<\/a>.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
