"The Icelandic volcano of 2010 was reportedly a disaster for many. However, as I was on a press trip to Portugal´s Alentejo region when it occured - in fact ours was the last flight to leave Dublin airport on the way out to the trip.
Well, at the end…"
"I'm going back to Kenya to cover the Famine situation in a small village in the Ukambani region. I have many contacts there built over several years and have access to local chiefs, councillors, health officials etc. If anyone Ed's think they may…"
"HI Andrea, I've just come back from a quick trip out to the Aran Islands, off the Galway coast in the West of the country. Inis Meain to be exact, the middle island. If you like walking amid scenery of great isolation and beauty then you can't…"
"Kenya's Ukambani and Samburu regions:

"Thanks Trevor that's really kind of you.
I've looked at your pieces and they've given me a great insight into the place(nice research work too). I know lisbon and its surrounding are quite well but never been to Centro so thanks for the taster.
"Hi Brendan,
I visited this area just over a year ago, and was very impressed. Coimbra is a lovely city, and the further east you get towards the Spanish border, the more rugged and remote the terrain becomes. I hope it is as productive for you as it…"
"Hey Brendan, am in the process of planning my first trip to Portugal - anything amazing you find and would like to share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Jacy"
"Thanks Yiannis, would you believe I've never been to Crete but your photographs are certainly tempting me. There must be lots of good music and musicians which I could write about on the island?
