'Backpacking With A Bunion' is a travelogue of discovery and adventure across the countries of S E Asia. The journey begins in Bangkok - where else; and ends up on the island of Flores in Indonesia. My story as a mature 'gapper' is outlined in the Introduction, as well as some of the highlights from my trip. The reader if so inclined could follow my journey on a map - it works quite well as a jigsaw, though I have certainly left plenty of room for flexibility and spontaneity. Travel, like life is not always straightforward, but that's the joy in it. Each chapter is given a descriptive heading to provide a unique flavour to the areas visited. They are roughly in chronological order to give a sense of continuity to my travelling over a period of eighteen months, but could stand alone as set pieces. I have tried to make the book as varied as possible with various quotations, travellers' tales and humour and more serious religious, cultural, political and environmental observations. I have included some facts and figures (where appropriate) on history, geography, transport arrangements, places of interest and personal experiences, thus painting a picture in words of sights, sounds and happenings. The book concludes with S E Asia in a nutshell, a summary of what the traveller might expect and emphasising that travelling changes the traveller. And hopefully reading this book will change the reader's perspective too.

A Scam in the Ashram is the second volume in the Terry's Travels series, and all about the Indian subcontinent; India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal, as well as Tibet. From the lamas of Ladakh in the Himalaya to the Sikhs of Amritsar, the Jains of Jodhpur, the Muslims of Mahasthangarh, the Christians of Kerala, the clowning Atsaras of Bhutan and monks and holy men just about everywhere. And from staring up at the highest point on earth to wandering along the seashore on a crowded Sri Lankan beach. The book presents an eclectic mix of sadhus, saints, Sunnis, sinners, spirituality and scams; and tales of bureaucracy, baksheesh and the Buddha. It pulls no punches with plenty of sarcasm and politically incorrect sentiments. Reviewers have commented on my dry humour, fascinating insights, factual narrative, environmental concerns, eye opening and reflective views, raw honesty, substance and research, making my work an intriguing and compelling read from start to finish. This is a sardonic look at humanity and the world with no Pollyanna gloss and may well be the most controversial book you will ever read - certainly the most controversial travel book. Now time to get some Delhi Belly. Enjoy the journey.
