Art, music, coffee, chocolate cake … the Austrian capital, also the cultural heart of Europe, has it all

I have written seven books about the history of places I have travelled to.

I travel because my own father always said he would travel after he’d retired, but he never got the chance because he died from cancer when he was 49. I travel for him when I go to places as well as for myself.

If you are interested in history and / or travel then you should check out these books. Please bear in mind the books are travelogues rather than travel guides and so cover only the places I visited.

Here is the one about Poland and The Baltic countries. 

Poland and the Baltics

This is a short travelogue for independent travellers to Poland and the Baltic countries of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. 

In particular, this travelogue covers the Polish cities of Gdansk, Wroclaw, Poznan, and Torun and describes the history and the sights that can be seen there.

When visiting Gdansk, Poznan, and Wroclaw it’s difficult to believe that these cities were largely destroyed during WWII by both sides in turn. 

I describe the sights that can be seen in Lithuania including the unique places called the Grutas Park with its collection of Communist statues and the Hill of Crosses with its millions of religious symbols. 

I also visited Tallinn in Estonia as well as Riga and the Rundale Palace in Latvia.

The Peloponnese and its food…

Tipsters hitch a ride through the age of steam, spend a night in a former prison cell and awake to the Alps through their window at these places to stay close to a terminus
