Ben Mallalieu

Writers bio:
Ben Mallalieu spent most of his adult life travelling, writing, painting, taking photographs and, when at home, spending very little time earning a living. In his mid 40s, he found himself with a growing family to support and eventually got his first proper job as a sub-editior on the Travel section of the Guardian, if you can call that a proper job. He now spends his time travelling, editing, designing pages, selecting photographs and writing articles that sometimes almost win awards.
