Feature: travel writing

I decided to write the feature on travel writing. I like to travel, obviously, and I have been doing a lot of freelance work in this area. Also, I am just about to launch my first book on this subject, next January in Brazil.

My forthcoming posts will be more or less like this:

I’ll first give an overview of the beginning of travel writing, commenting on angle, purpose and style then and now. I also intend to write about the relationship between documentary, photojournalism and travel writing, as well as the importance of pictures and how I believe they should be used. Finally, I’ll review some British travel publications and talk about my personal experience in the field.
