Inspiring Travel Writing from James Henderson

James Henderson has contributed to the Travel Pages of the Financial Times and other broadsheets for the past ten years, writing impish but often laudatory stories about some of the loveliest, most luxurious places in the world, slating the occasional really grim one too. Born in Australia he picked up the habit of travel from his Scots and English parents who took him around the world as a child.

James Henderson is founder editor of Definitive Caribbean, a free on-line Caribbean guide, a by invitation selection of the best accommodation and other businesses in the Caribbean, from guest houses to dive operators, charter airlines to hotels and villas to yacht charter companies: www.definitivecaribbean.com.

James is author of The Cadogan Guide to the Caribbean and the Bahamas, now in its fifth edition.

To make sure that he doesn't go soft on so much luxury he also competes in some of the most arduous and extreme races in the world, including running across the Sahara Desert, and a number of week-long, non-stop adventure races in Borneo, the Argentinean Andes, Morocco, the Australian Outback, the Canadian Rockies and the Outer Hebrides.
