Bruce Holmes

Writers bio:
Bruce Holmes did much of his travelling before he was old enough to remember it. With his father in Britain's Royal Navy, and his Australian mother wanting to be closer to home, it was only natural to be always on the move. And all that before he was six years old. So when he became a teacher of secondary English in Australia Bruce spent many a vacation departing for foreign climes, before deciding in 1997 to launch himself into travel writing and photography. As he says, "After all that time reading other people's words, I decided to write a few of my own."

Whether hiking up volcanoes, riding on camels, traveling behind restored steam engines or taking 15 aeroplanes on a round the world ticket in the tense atmosphere of October-December 2001, Bruce's writing and photographs capture not only the places he's visited but also the experiences of the traveller. Bruce's articles and images have appeared in a broad range of publications around the world, details of which can be seen on his website at: www.bruceholmestravel.com
