Posted: 3/28/16 | March 28th, 2016

One of my all-time preferred travel writers is Don George. He’s not a huge name like Bryson or Pico Iyer, however his influence in travel composing is everywhere as well as goes back decades. He’s been editor of The San Francisco Examiner as well as the San Francisco Chronicle, actually composed the book on travel while composing for Lonely Planet, is an editor-at-large for national Geographic, as well as started the book passage travel Writers conference!

I very first satisfied Don about five years back at a writer’s conference. Don’s capability to be descriptive as well as vivid, as well as communicate a sense of location when composing astounds me. He draws you in in a method extremely few travel writers can. (And he’s a truly nice guy, too!)

If there’s any type of writer I aspire to tell a story like, it’s him. (Sorry, Bryson. You’re #2!)

Last year, Don lastly published into a book called The method of Wanderlust. It’s a collection of his finest short stories. I checked out it earlier this year and, today, we’re right here with the guy himself to talk about his book, travel writing, as well as much more:

NomadicMatt: tell everybody about yourself as well as exactly how you ended up being a travel writer!
Don: In high institution as well as college, I wished to be a poet. I didn’t even understand “travel writer” was a genuine profession. After graduating from Princeton, I went to Europe for a year, interning for the summertime in Paris as well as then mentor in Athens for a year.

A piece I composed in a grad institution nonfiction composing workshop about climbing install Kilimanjaro (which I did on my method back to the us from Athens) got published in Mademoiselle magazine. as well as suddenly I started believing about composing stories based on my travels. I began to compose more travel stories while mentor for two years in Japan.

When I returned to the US, with an incredible series of serendipities, I ended up being hired by the San Francisco Examiner while the travel editor was on a leave of absence. as well as that’s exactly how I ended up being a travel writer.

What made you lastly choose to put your finest work in a book?
I’d been believing of doing this for a while, however I never had the high-end of free time to make this collection happen. In 2012, at the book passage travel Writers as well as professional photographers Conference, I satisfied a incredibly skilled young writer-artist named Candace increased Rardon, who, over two as well as a half years, assisted me discover as well as organize my numerous published stories, select which ones to include, as well as determine the final shape of the book.

And she produced the beautiful, wanderlust-ful cover picture for the book, in addition to transporting maps as well as sketches for the inside pages!

Now that this book has been published, it has come to mean more to me than I might potentially have imagined. It feels tremendously rounding as well as fulfilling. I’m absolutely exhilarated to have my life — my travels, my writings, my philosophy — out in the world in this extremely palpable way, between two covers.

How come you didn’t compose a memoir or novel?
Well, this truly is my memoir. For my whole expert life, I’ve been a travel writer. I go out into the world, have adventures, make connections, as well as restore stories. as well as I always put the very best stories into my writing. So these stories, collectively, are my memoir.

For me, composing about truth — trying to evoke as well as comprehend my own experience as totally as well as deeply as possible — is more attractive as well as satisfying than fiction.

Why do you believe people take in travel books so frequently? a few of the top-selling books always seem to be about travel.
I believe many people like to travel as well as they can’t always travel actually, so the next finest alternate is traveling vicariously, with somebody else’s account of his or her travels. other people like the concept of travel — of experiencing foreign locations as well as cultures — however without the inconveniences as well as hardships of the journey.

For them, too, travel literature is the perfect solution: they get the enjoyment as well as discovering of travel without the mosquitoes as well as secret meals.

So, you’ve been in the composing market for a while. What’s changed?
I might compose a book about that. Actually, I have written a book about it. Lonely Planet’s guide to travel Writing, which I very first composed in 2005 as well as which I updated extensively for its third edition a couple of years ago, goes into excellent detail about modifications in the composing as well as publishing part of the travel market over the past two decades.

As for the larger travel industry, the modifications have been enormous, seismic, however I believe the biggest modification is instantaneous connectivity, which has its great as well as poor aspects. compared with when I began world-wandering 40 years ago, it’s infinitely easier to get info about the world now, as well as to make as well as preserve connections around the globe.

But on the other hand, whether you are at house or on the road, it’s infinitely easier to get distracted by innovation as well as connectivity — tweeting as well as Instagramming every moment — to ensure that you miss the deep essence of the world around you. The type of immersive, lose-yourself-to-a-place travel that I like to method doesn’t lend itself extremely well to non-stop Facebook updates.

Much as I like linking with people at house as well as around the globe on social media, the genuine richness of travel for me is in plumbing the depth of the moment, being completely present, taking the world into me as well as losing myself to the world at the exact same time.

What are a few of the failings you see with on the internet travel composing as well as blogging?
The primary failing I see is the exact same failing I’ve seen for many years in the unsolicited submissions I’ve got as a travel editor: the writer doesn’t understand the point of what he or she is writing. If you as a writer don’t understand your point, there’s no method I as a visitor am going to take away a point.

I believe writers as well as blog writers should always ask themselves why they’re composing what they’re writing, what they want the visitor to take away. as well as I believe they should carefully think about the shape they’ve provided their creation, exactly how they’re interacting their point to the reader.

Are they doing it in as evocative as well as thoughtful a method as possible? Are they honoring the reader, the subject, as well as themselves in their work?

What advice do you have for aspiring writers?
Read my books! HA! While that sounds self-serving, I have poured whatever I’ve discovered as a travel writer as well as editor over four decades into the Lonely world travel composing book, as well as embarrassing as it is to say, I believe it’s a truly terrific introduction to the art, craft, as well as business of travel writing.

Beyond those two, I would advise aspiring writers to checked out excellent travel composing anywhere they discover it, in books as well as magazines as well as online, as well as whenever they discover a story they truly love, to checked out that work when for pleasure as well as then a second time for education: to deconstruct the composing to ensure that they comprehend exactly how the writer produced the magic.

And then, of course, I would advise them to compose as well as compose as well as write. go to writing-related conferences, workshops, as well as events. Network. join a writers group. as well as finally: don’t provide up; comply with your dream.

Going back to travel, what was the moment that made you state “this is the career I want?” 
I vividly recall one moment from the beginning of my career. My very first assignment was a one-week windjammer cruise in the Caribbean. I was simultaneously anxious as well as incredulous to the core.

On my very first morning on the ship, I woke up as well as went out on deck. significant white sails were flapping under an intensely blue sky brightened with billowing white clouds. A brisk, salt-tinged breeze was blowing. I stared at the blue-green Caribbean all around as well as at a palmy island ringed with white sand on the horizon, as well as I keep in mind thinking, “Wait a minute. My trip has been paid for, I’m really getting paid a income to stand here, as well as my task is to have the very best experience I can as well as then compose about it. I must be dreaming!”

Astonishingly enough, I’ve experienced this exact same moment time after time over the past 35 years. I can still barely believe that I’ve been able to make a living doing the two things I love: traveling as well as writing.

What are your tips for travelers on exactly how to get the most out of travel?
Learn some key cultural as well as historical facts about a location — as well as some necessary daily phrases — before you arrive. travel with an open mind as well as an open heart. engage with the locals, respectfully as well as enthusiastically, as well as always be prepared for serendipity to take you by the hand as well as lead you down a incredibly unplanned path.

What was the worst thing that ever occurred to you on the road?
Many decades ago, on a three-month roam with Asia with my then-girlfriend as well as now-wife, I got extremely ill in rural India, so ill that I might barely stand up, much less walk. My small other half almost had to bring me with the flight terminal as well as onto our plane, fighting her method with an agitated, shoving crowd of travelers who desired our seats.

What’s your biggest travel regret? Mine is never studying abroad while in college.
I understand it seems a bit absurd, or at finest Pollyanna-ish,however I don’t truly have any type of travel regrets. Well, I assumption I regret that I ate whatever it was that totally incapacitated me on that long-ago trip in rural India.

But then I wouldn’t have discovered that my other half might be Superwoman when needed!

How do you particularly try to travel deep as well as “get to understand a place?” Do you stay with locals, phone call up a tourism board, or leave it to fate? What do you do to get under a place’s skin?
Most of my expert life, I haven’t had the high-end of staying for more than a couple of weeks in a location — commonly it’s even less than that — so I’ve discovered to streamline the getting-under-the-skin process by asking a great deal of questions, sometimes of other travelers, however mainly of locals. I ask them to tell me what they like about their place, as well as that has a tendency to open up doors as well as insights.

I likewise method what I phone call “the fine art of vulnerability,” opening myself as much as a place, taking some dangers (though always listening when my gut tells me not to), as well as making a fool of myself when necessary. I discover that when you pour interest as well as enthusiasm as well as appreciation into the world, it comes back to you a hundredfold.

Some lightning-round questions: window or aisle?
If I’m flying in the daytime over somewhere I’ve never seen, window. Otherwise, aisle.

Favorite airline?
Tie between Singapore as well as Cathay Pacific.

Favorite destination?
The locations that have the deepest roots in me are the locations where I’ve laid the deepest roots in my life: France, Greece, as well as Japan. My life is so inextricably intertwined with Japan — I lived there for two years as well as have been back lots of times, my other half is from there, her household still lives there — that I’d have to state Japan is my preferred destination. however in one more sense, my preferred destination is the one I was just in, where I inevitably experienced or discovered something rich as well as unusual as well as life changing.

How many languages do you speak as well as which ones?
I speak French, Japanese, as well as whatever Greek I keep in mind from the year I lived there four decades ago.

Place you most want to go to however have never been to?
Much to my friends’ astonishment, I’ve never been to Laos or Bhutan. I’d like to go to both of them.

Place you would never go back to?
That restaurant in rural India.

Don is one of my personal heroes as well as his book, The method of Wanderlust, was a truly great read. I particularly liked his story about his long journey with Pakistan.

London is simultaneously one of the most modern cities on earth, while at the same time boasting a rich history that’s clearly visible at every turn.

Contemporary architecture sits seamlessly alongside modern high-rise buildings like the Gherkin and ancient traditions are maintained as it embraces and develops cutting edge technology.

This curious mix makes the capital city of England a fascinating place to visit and is part of the reason why it’s home to almost 9 million people. There is so much to occupy your time here that it can be hard to narrow down the options.

Here’s my guide to travelling London, England.

Things To See and Do

Let’s start with the best part: what to see and do in London.

Do you know what’s better than great attractions? great attractions that are free.

Free Attractions in London

Big Ben, house of Parliament, Tower of London, Piccadilly Circus, Camden Market, Convent Garden, and small theatre performances are other free/affordable ways to soak in the city’s charms and historical richness. 

Buckingham Palace

This is where the Queen of England actually lives when she’s in London and has been home to the British royal family since 1837.

Though you can’t actually enter the grounds other than for a short period during the summer months, it’s still a spectacular building to look at from the outside.

Watching the changing of the guard at Buckingham palace is another can’t-miss tradition that won’t cost you a penny. So is the changing of the horse guards.

The changing of the horse guards happens at 11 a.m. at Whitehall, and the changing of the guard happens at 11:30 a.m. at Buckingham Palace.

The palace of Westminster & big Ben

Alternatively known as the houses of Parliament thanks to being the meeting place for the Parliament of the United Kingdom, The palace of Westminster is a grand complex overlooking the River Thames.

It’s one of the most recognizable buildings in the capital city and is also home to big Ben.

Though many people believe this to be the name of the clock tower, it actually refers to the enormous bell within it that has chimed out across the city for over 150 years.

The palace of Westminster looks particularly spectacular seen from across the river at night when its illuminated reflection appears in the River Thames.

St Paul’s Cathedral

This vast cathedral dates back to the 17th century, and its giant dome dominated the London skyline for over 200 years throughout which it remained the tallest building in the city.

Even though it has been eclipsed by the many skyscrapers that have been built over the past 40 years, it’s still one of London’s most impressive and recognizable buildings. It’s a working church and services of worship are still held here at various times each day, as well as other significant ceremonies and celebrations.

Westminster Abbey

Westminster Abbey, the church where royal coronations and burials have taken place for ages, is normally 20 GBP to visit. If you’re there to worship on Sundays, it’s free.

The British museum & natural history Museum

Often referred to as the greatest museum in the world, the British museum has a mind-blowing collection of historical artifacts, treasures from across the globe and artwork covering a two million year period.

The London Eye

Constructed to mark the turn of the millennium, the London Eye was at that time the largest Ferris wheel in the world. though it’s since been surpassed in height by various developments, today it still forms a prominent part of the London skyline.

From the large glass capsules, you get a unique, uninterrupted bird’s-eye view out across London.

Tower of London

One of the most historically significant buildings in the city, the Tower of London’s 900-year narrative is as notorious as it is illustrious.

Tours are conducted by enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides who will regale you with tales of betrayal, treachery and deceit.

See the mesmerizing Crown jewels which are on display here, learn about the gruesome events that have taken place within the walls as well as the ghosts that are said to inhabit the building to this day.

Where to Stay

Put simply, London is huge and as such has a wide variety of accommodation options open to you. most of the major attractions are located within a relatively small distance of each other in the centre of the city, making central London the best location to set up base.

Bloomsbury is an ideal starting point to explore the surrounding areas. only a short walk away you’ll find the popular areas of Russell Square, Oxford street and Covent garden as well as the British museum and London’s famous West end theatre district.

There’s also an underground station in the area meaning it’s extremely convenient to get further afield as well.

If a hotel close to the center of London is more your jam, expect to spend around 100 GBP (or more) per night. In the outskirts of the city, however, that will drop to about 40 GBP.

Hostels will cost you 20-40 GBP for a dorm room, with private rooms starting at 55 GBP.

No matter where you decide to stay when travelling in London, make sure it’s in a central location. You don’t want to spend your travel days on transportation when you could be out exploring the city. See more: The complete guide to London’s Neighbourhoods.

What to eat and Drink

The Borough Market and brick Lane both feature lots of food options that fall on the cheap side. Pub fare is always affordable, with fried and homestyle foods on offer. check out these best historic pubs in London.

For a high-end experience, the seven Park place at the St. James’s hotel is recommended. 

It’s described as French-cuisine-meets-the-best-British-ingredients. The food here takes inspiration from the seasons. expect to spend 58 GBP for a three-course lunch paired with wines.

Here are some dishes you won’t want to miss when visiting London.

Sunday Roast and Yorkshire Pudding – Traditionally eaten as a family meal each Sunday, this dish consists of roasted meat, vegetables and Yorkshire Pudding which is a batter cooked in the oven, all covered in a rich gravy.

Chicken Tikka Massala – Though chicken tikka masala is served up in Indian restaurants up and down the country, it was actually invented in the UK. This mildly spiced chicken in a creamy sauce has gone on to become the nation’s favourite dish.

Ale – England has a reputation for serving up warm, flat beer, and to an extent this is accurate. traditional ale is not fizzy but naturally lightly carbonated and has a slightly bitter taste.

Tea – You can’t go to England without drinking a cup of tea, a national obsession amongst Brits. English Breakfast, Earl Grey and Yorkshire Tea are some of the most popular.

Also don’t miss fish & chips, pie & mash, and a full English breakfast!

When to Visit

England has notoriously poor weather for much of the year, and though London is a year-round city, if you’re after warmer, drier weather then it’s best to visit during the summer months.

June, July, and August see warm temperatures and less rain than usual, although showers are still frequent. These months are also brighter with daylight lasting up until 9pm.

Winter between November and January sometimes sees snow, as temperatures get low and daylight hours become much shorter.

How to get around London

London is an extremely accessible city and there are various methods of getting around — when you can, try to move around by foot to avoid crowds, getting stuck in traffic, and to enjoy all of the sights along the way!

The London Underground or “tube” as it is locally referred to is an underground rail network that covers the majority of the capital and is easy to navigate.

There is also a good bus system, although it can be more tricky to work out the routes.

Within the centre you can hire self-service bicycles at docking stations across the city. There are also black cabs or taxis, but these can work out to be far more expensive than other methods of transport.

Of course, you can always just call a rideshare company, such as Uber, bolt or Ola.

The general aesthetic of the site (including the restaurant) is not that conducive to peaceful conversations or charming moments.
