Nick Maes

Writers bio:
Nick Maes is a travel writer, novelist and broadcaster. He writes regularly for the Guardian, Intelligent Traveller and the Daily Mail as well as contributing to Excess Baggage and writing and presenting travel documentaries on Radio 4.

Ideally he would prefer to be found nosing around bazaars in East Africa or chilling on Himalayan mountain passes rather than at home in London. Widely travelled, Maes is convinced he suffers from far-sickness because of his inability to stay in any one place for too long. It’s in his nature. Currently he’s plotting trips to the Australian outback, Brazil, East Africa and China as well as working on his third book.

Nick Maes judged the recent Radio 4 travel writing competition and has written two novels, Not Dark Yet (Review 2002) and The Africa Bar (Review 2004).
