I resist the idea that travel writing has got to be factual. I believe in its imaginative qualities and its potential as art and literature.

Jan Morris

To be writing about a place you've got to be utterly selfish. You've only got to think about the place that you're writing. Your antenna must be out all the time picking up vibrations and details. If you've got somebody with you, especially somebody you're fond of, it doesn't work so well.
