Inspiring Travel Writing from Kate Morris
Kate Morris is lucky enough to have been sent to an eco-friendly game reserve in South Africa, on safari in Tanzania, whale watching in Seattle, mud baths in Italy, two weeks in the Yemen, a six star cruise in Alaska, the wildnerness of the Swedish archipelago, and swopping a life in the week of a girl in New York. All she had to do in return was write a few words.
She has published one novel, 'A Single Girl's Diary', which is being adapted for a feature film by Granada Films, completed another, called 'The End Game', is married, and lives in London.

Cork
About 30km east of Cork city, overlooking the East Ferry anchorage, is the best bed and breakfast you are ever likely to stay in. Rathcoursey House, a small Georgian manor, is surrounded by dense woods and a long bumpy track leads up to it from the...

Stockholm
As I have never been an ardent admirer of Ikea, Abba, or Seventies porn, Sweden was not on the list of my top twenty travel destinations. How wrong I was to be so blinkered! Since being sent by Harpers and Queen, I am a convert, and already planning...

The temperature is a soothing seventy five degrees in the shady olive grove. Stretching and purring, I roll onto my back, squint at the sun and sigh. The branches rustle gently. I sigh again. What should I do this afternoon? Remain here at the Grand...

Day OneOn the day of my departure for New York the London sky is as low and grey as I am. I call the New York paparazzo, Patrick McMullen, who works with my alter ego, the mysterious Ariel, on ‘New York’ magazine. Apparently he will take me to the...
