Is this an autobiography? A Fleet Street memoir? Or a travelogue? It has elements of all three as readers go on a rollicking ride around the world and meet a variety of larger-than-life characters along the way. This book is aimed initially at the armchair traveller, but if it leads you to choose a more exotic holiday, or set off on the path to adventure, all the better. There's a great big world out there for everyone to explore.

He has visited more than 100 countries, contributed articles to newspapers and magazines all over the world, and written more than 30 travel books (as well as two about ghosts!).

Press Trip eBook Robin Mead
If you've ever wondered what life as a travel writer is like, then you must read Robin Mead's Press Trip. Or if you are a travel writer, then you really have to read it (if only to find out if you're in it). It's a full and frank account of what life as a travel writer is like, including many reports from the numerous press trips and solo travel research trips all around the world that the author has been lucky enough - or in some cases unlucky enough - to have been on.As a travel writer myself, I obviously enjoyed it, but I also admired the way Robin Mead went about getting stories when he was on his travels - not going for the lazy, obvious angle but going out of his way to unearth something interesting to see, and to meet people who were worth writing about.
I loved his early accounts of his travels in Greece, which is one of my own favourite countries, and I enjoyed the honesty of his reporting from places such as Jamaica, which I've also been to a few times myself. I also appreciated his writing about the USA, a country he came to love, and he turns out to be a bit of an old rock 'n' roller, too. I won't spoil the story but he encounters one of our mutual musical heroes in a back-street bar in New Orleans.
Life as a travel writer isn't all Caribbean cruises - though he gets to go on those too. He also reports on the political infighting on newspapers, the problems of earning a living, and his own early days on newspapers in London, like The Times. The book is always entertaining, sometimes moving, and I raced through it as I just wanted to keep on reading! Highly recommended to anyone remotely interested in travel and traveling, or just wanting a damn good read.
