Inspiring Travel Writing from Roger Moss
Roger Moss is a professional journalist, photographer and writer based in SW France. Widely experienced in producing illustrated editorial features for magazines and location photography for travel guides, including the DK Eyewitness Travel Guide to Venice and The Veneto. His background includes advertising and graphic design, plus a parallel career as a professional touring and recording musician which took him around the world and inspired his boundless enthusiasm for travel.
After discovering that France was more a continent than a mere country, Roger developed a particular interest in exploring and celebrating the place, its people and their culture. He is working on a long-term publishing project documenting the Medieval Gothic Cathedrals of France.
Editor of Everything France magazine from its launch in June 2001, Roger became Editor-at-Large upon his relocation full-time to France from Cornwall, UK and has been a Member of the International Advisory Board of Maison de la France since its inception in 2003. In addition to working on the printed page, he has a great interest in emerging media. His passions include sporting cars, fine guitars, Alpine skiing and, of course, discovering more new places.
