John Harrison

After hitch-hiking from London to Johannesburg before he was 21, and two further years hitching around every country in South and Central America, John never really shook off the travel bug. John has written and presented several radio programmes for the BBC, and contributed articles to many magazines and newspapers. He has entertained audiences with more than 200 lectures over the last 25 years and has been an on-board speaker for cruise lines. He lives in Bristol in the UK with his wife and two children, where he has his own construction company.
