Home and Away - Award-Winning Travel Stories by New Zealand Writers

Travel is in the Kiwi bloodstream: whether bound for Kaiwaka or Kowloon, we have an insatiable appetite for living out of a suitcase and, in select cases, writing about it. This new anthology presents 35 stories by award-winning members of NZ Travel Communicators, or Travcom. Travcom was founded in 1991 to encourage and support professional travel writing and photography in New Zealand. 'Home & Away' marks the twentieth anniversary of Travcom?s high profile Travel Media Awards, which celebrate the excellence and diversity of contributors to magazines, newspapers and books. The stories in this anthology, edited by Graeme Lay, span not only every continent but also the homeland, proving you don?t have to go far to discover distance. A good travel story, says Lay, transports the reader to another place; so let this book carry you to Goa, Thailand, Fiji, Mandalay, The Everglades, Tahiti, Provence, Hamilton?
