At age three he moved with his parents to a remote island in The Bahamas. Lobsters were considered poor people's food. Each weekend he would swim down with a snorkel and locate them. Then my father would shoot them. Totally delicious.

Then his parents moved from The Bahamas to rural England. He spent years plotting my return to the sun.By age 25 he had travelled to 50 countries.But he wanted more. So he told a very big lie.After being made redundant from my only real job as a sports reporter I moved to Nice, France, because the living was cheap.Then I called every travel magazine in the world and I told then I was "a travel writer living in France". British Airways High Life magazine believed my lie. They sent him to Marrakesh on he first travel commission. He became a published writer. Then he didn't have to lie anymore.
