About the Book
The remote Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan, which measures not GNP, but Gross National Happiness. Cynics might argue that this is more a reflection of its grinding poverty than its espoused commitment to the environment, culture and personal well-being.
A strange time-warp of a nation where everybody is compelled to wear traditional costume, not for the tourists, but to maintain their cultural heritage, where the health service is universal and free, but where they probably spend as much on their annual festivals.
Terrible food, wonderful scenery.

Travelling since I was six months old, writing since I was tiny, photographing for the last fifty years and trying to save the planet for the last thirty. Possibly due to this experience I am more successful at travelling than the others, but...still working on it.
