GTW Trivia:
The life expectancy of a Galapagos tortoise is roughly equivalent to the combined experience of the Global Travel Writers team.
Fairways to the Pharoahs: Ten years ago there were just three golf courses in Egypt. Today there are nearly 20. More designer layouts are under construction as an increasing number of visitors take to the tees in a rapidly emerging golf destination. [Thomas E King]
Southern ComfortThe plan was to drive south from Rome, south to Naples, heeding warnings galore about pickpockets and worse. It turned our to be not quite so simple. [Sally Hammond]
Weaving a Royal Yarn: Thai Royal silk, or Pha Yok Thong, is reserved for monarchs and heads-of-state. Thanks to the personal support of Queen Sirikit, the villagers of Ban Tha Sawang in Thailand's Isaan province are able to produce the world-renowned silk. [Roderick Eime]
Fiji for Families: Fiji's many island resorts truly offer a little tropical bliss for everyone. And with resort staff organising a great range activites for kids, this is one of the most family-friendly places on the planet. [Sheriden Rhodes]
Borderlines Explore the mystique and adrenaline rush peculiar to border towns around the world - from Narva, Estonia, to Ivangorod, Russia; across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas, USA to Mexico; and Mae Sai at Thailand's frontier with Tachileik, Burma. [Philip Game] 
Venice in Winter: Few places can claim to be more beautiful in winter than in summer, but Venice is an exception. Cloaked in mist and fog she wears her wintry cloak like a grand dame dressed for the opera.. [Karen Halabi] 
The Charms of Cairo: Cairo, where the antiquities of Pharaonic dynasties, treasures of Greco-Roman civilisation and jewels of Islamic and Christian architecture co-exist in peaceful harmony, is one of the world's most fascinating cities. [Thomas E King] 
The Mushrooming of Africa:
The "Mushroom House", in Zambia's South Luangwa National Park, is where African history was made. Mushroom House has now re-opemed as Mushroom Lodge, offering a great range of top safari experiences. [Graham Simmons]
Lisbon - Home of Calming Luxury
A sweep through the rich textures and enticing history of the Portuguese capital, the first true world city, from a base of sumptuous luxury atop one of its seven hills above the Tagus River. [Glenn A Baker]When we're not travelling or working to your deadlines, you'll find us here:
