Inspiring Travel Writing from Joe Cawley
Joe Cawley is a freelance travel writer based in the Canary Islands. Joe Cawley is medically compelled to travel to alleviate sporadic bouts of island fever that leave him with a nasty rash and an uncontrollable urge to shout obscenities at the top of his voice. Joe has contributed to The Sunday Times Travel Magazine, The Times, Observer, Guardian and Independent travel sections amongst many others.
Geographical circumstances have determined his speciality destination – Spain and the Canary Islands; delusions of fantasy steer him towards another calling – adventure travel; while offspring, Molly Blue and Sam, have given him the opportunity to add another string to his bow – family travel.
His first book, More Ketchup than Salsa, is a humorous account of running a resort bar/restaurant in Tenerife. It’s been dubbed Little Britain with a suntan.
Joe also owns the Tenerife information website myTenerifeinfo.com.
