“As a travel writer I've specialized in gritty, fearful destinations, the kind of places that make a reader's hair stick on end.”
Tahir Shah, Travels With Myself“One of the things the 'Tao of Travel' shows is how unforthcoming most travel writers are, how most travelers are. They don't tell you who they were traveling with, and they're not very reliable about things that happened to them.”
