If you take on board the health warning, sit back and let it happen. I hope that young and old get something from my travelog. Having had the chance to travel the world I want to share some of the insights that I have had. I make no apology for my irrepressible sense of humour which kept me going when the traveling got tough. I had no idea there was a writer in me only to realise that we are limited in a common strand of humanity so, I think a lot of people would appreciate exactly where I am coming from. It is surprising how vulnerable you become, taking part in other cultures, having to see everything from a different perspectives. You start with the idea that there is only one constant in all of this: yourself: ’Yes, but exactly who am I?’ On this journey of discovery I have met many people, some amaziing: some out to take advantage of you, wherever you are in the world, I guess you will confront such a wide range of human characteristics. Throughout I have been struck by the mobility of those who have so little by way of comfort in their lives yet are generous to a fault. It certainly makes you realise, just how fortunate we are in the west. Part of my travels are given to describe the sights and sounds that characterise different pictures, but the emphasis has always been on meeting and interacting with the wealth of people - not their monetary wealth, but the composite that makes up the human spirit. If some of the culinary delights made me ill and reduced me to a skeletal proportions the human experience has undoubtedly made me grow in stature. Welcome to the hilarious humour of WOODY’S WORLD. 3
