Cycling through Europe was considered to be one of Jenny’s fantastic tips.

M: It’s great to have you with us today, Jenny. So, how did you start travelling?
W: Well, as a child, I travelled a lot with my family. We did some fantastic trips, like cycling through Europe, when I was 13. By the time I was 16 I had visited 19 countries!
M: And how did you start writing?
W: When I travelled I always wrote a diary. I didn’t want to forget all the things that I had seen and experienced. So I wrote it all down. At first, it was just facts. Then I added my feelings and stories about the places and the people.
M: It’s sometimes difficult to get started as a writer. What was your first "break" as a travel writer?
W: It was luck. I had lived in Turkey for about two years. Then a friend of mine, who worked for a travel company, said he needed someone to write a travel guide about Turkey. So I did it!
Other writing jobs just came from that.
M: And when you’re writing, what’s the most difficult thing?
W: When I get home from travelling, I have notebooks full of notes. I often feel like writing about everything. The most difficult thing is deciding what to include and what to leave out.
M: What advice would you give to someone thinking of being a travel writer?
W: Firstly, read as many books as you can. Secondly, take notes of as many details as you can when you’re travelling. Finally, go for it!
M: Thank you, Jenny.
