Philip Game

Philip Game began his independent travels in 1960s Tasmania, then took off with the Asian overland thing in '74 - now they call it a gap year - a consular posting in the Arabian Gulf and a stint as an adventure tour guide in South East Asia. Later, he survived thirteen months branded as a 'resident alien' in small-town Pennsylvania and then spent six months hiding from Britain's remorseless TV licence inspectors. He has been locked in the medieval town hall tower of Tallinn and stranded by monsoon rains in rural Malaysia, had his pocket picked in Naples and was detained by Soviet-era border guards - and wouldn't have missed any of it (well, almost).  He is a full Member of the Australian Society of Travel Writers. Philip's work has been published in 33 countries and his special interests include South East Asia, the Arabian Gulf and the Australian Outback.
