A former English lecturer, Hugh McNaughtan swapped grant applications for visa applications, and turned his love of travel into a full-time thing. Having done a bit of restaurant-reviewing in his home town (Melbourne, Australia) he's now eaten his way across four continents. He's never happier than when on the road with his two daughters. Except perhaps on the cricket field... Oliver Berry is a writer and photographer from Cornwall.

He is also a regular contributor to many newspapers and magazines, including Lonely Planet Traveller. His writing has won several awards, including The Guardian Young Travel Writer of the Year and the TNT Magazine People's Choice Award. His latest work is published at oliverberry.com.
